The CAN in Automation (CiA) international users’ and manufacturers’ group has established the Special Interest Group “CANopen via Bluetooth”. In the inaugural meeting the experts agreed to map the CANopen communication services such as service data objects (SDO) and process data objects (PDO) to the Bluetooth lowerlayers. The group will also specify CANopen-to-Bluetooth routers, in order to provide connectivity in heterogeneous network architectures.
