Extending CANopen Applications With ETHERNET Powerlink

Tags:
ethernet

Overview During the last 10 years, CANopen became one of the most popular higher layer protocols for CAN-based networks. Compared with other higher layer protocols, the essential benefits of CANopen are its simplicity and flexibility which enables its use in a wide range of application areas. The versatility of CANopen is also reflected by the large number of available device, interface and application profiles. However, due to the increasing requirements of enlarging applications and systems, the maximum extension of CAN systems and the available data band width become serious limitations for the usage of CANopen in these applications.
