{"product_id":"embedded-networking-with-can-and-canopen-9780976511625","title":"Embedded Networking With CAN and CANopen","description":"\u003cp\u003eCAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication protocol that was originally developed for the automobile industry. CAN is far superior to conventional serial technologies such as RS232 in regards to functionality and reliability and yet CAN implementations are more cost effective. CANopen  a higher layer protocol based on CAN  provides the means to apply the ingenious CAN features to a variety of industrial-strength applications. Many users  for example in the field of medical engineering  opted for CANopen because they have to meet particularly stringent safety requirements. Similar requirements had to be considered by manufacturers of other equipment with very high safety or reliability requirements (e.g. robots  lifts and transportation systems). Providing a detailed look at both CAN and CANopen  this book examines those technologies in the context of embedded networks. There is an overview of general embedded networking and an introduction to the primary functionality provided by CANopen. Everything one needs to know to configure and operate a CANopen network using off-the-shelf components is described  along with details for those designers who want to build their own CANopen nodes. The wide variety of applications for CAN and CANopen is discussed  and instructions in developing embedded networks based on the protocol are included. In addition  references and examples using MicroCANopen  PCANopen Magic  and Vectors high-end development tools are provided.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67932332261429,"sku":"ByrdShop_0976511622","price":89.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780976511625.jpg?v=1794224344","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/embedded-networking-with-can-and-canopen-9780976511625","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
