1.2 CANopen Applications
CANopen is the standardized network application layer optimized for
embedded networks. Its specifications cover the standardized application layer,
frameworks for the various applications (e.g. general I/O, motion control
system, maritime electronics and so forth) as well as device, interface, and
application profiles.
The main CANopen protocol and products are generally applied in the
low-volume and mid-volume embedded systems. The following examples
show some parts of the CANopen application fields. (For more information,
