CANopen is one kind of the network protocols based on the CAN bus and mainly used for embedded network of machine control, such as industrial machine control , aircraft engines monitoring, factory automation, medical equipments control, remote data acquisition, environmental monitoring, and packaging machines control, etc.

CAN-2054C module follows the CiA DS-301 version 4.02 and DSP-401 version 2.1. You can access the digital I/O status and set the configuration by using standard CANopen protocol. CAN-2054C has passed the validation of the CiA CANopen Conformance Test tool. Therefore, you can use it with standard CANopen master easily by applying the EDS file. CAN-2054C has 8-channel isolated sink/source input and 8-channel isolated sink output and it can be used to various applications, such as PNP, NPN, TTL, relay contact and so forth.

By owing to the CANopen masters of ICP DAS, you can quickly build a CANopen network to approach your requirements.
