Basic and additional CANopen functionality will be discussed (e.g. CANopen Manager, Layer Setting Services, CANopen Safety). Important aspects of system design will be demonstrated.
The CiA trainer will also explain the CANopen device and application profiles that enable to manufacture devices with a high degree of "plug-and-play"capability.
