port has a long experience in developing CAN/CANopen and ETHERNET Powerlink fieldbus technology for embedded systems. We provide products like the CANopen and the EPL Library as well as helpful tools for development of CANopen and EPL devices and working with applications that make use of CAN/CANopen, ETHERNET Powerlink and DeviceNet.

We do not only offer our products to customers but offer our customers support for handling, application engineering and implementation of CAN/CANopen, EPL projects in form of engineering services, trainings and initial operation. The support in this way is very efficient and reasonable when the project schedule is tight.

Engineering Services

port provides the following engineering services:

• Implementation of the CANopen communication profile
• Implementation of the ETHERNET Powerlink communication profile
• Implementation of CANopen device profiles
• Consulting for CAN/CANopen, ETHERNET Powerlink or DeviceNet related projects
• Application specific implementations or enhancements of CANopen
• Embedded LINUX development for customer projects using EtherCAN or IGW/900

The success of port is based on solutions for tasks of different areas for controlling systems that cannot be solved with standard software. 

CANopen Training 

port offers customer specific training CANopen concerning. With this training we provide an efficient introduction into the topics of CAN/CANopen for participants. We can adjust the contents of each training to the customer needs and emphasize on fixed topics. The aim of our training courses is to provide a good knowledge base to our customers for a good start off and at carrying out CANopen projects with the CANopen Library and all available software tools. The topics of the training courses are:

• Introduction to CANopen
• Description of the library
• Description of the driver interface
• Description of the CANopen software tools

Integration Support

For the implementation of CANopen/ETHERNET Powerlink into the customer- specific application or the adaption into a special hardware we offer implementation support with the following topics:

• Adaption of our CANopen/EPL Library to customer-specific hardware
• Usage of the Software Tools of port
