CAN Info Mail
This monthly email is for all CAN fellows.
May 2023
A word from the CiA Managing Director
CiA has established many technical groups developing specifications and technical reports. There are Interest Groups (IG), which may set up Special Interest Groups (SIG). Any group may initiate Task Forces (TF), which are of temporary nature for dedicated tasks. TFs do not release documents. All IGs report to the Technical Committee, which coordinates the scopes and work items. The SIGs report to the IG, which has established it.
The scopes of these groups are available on the CiA website. Recently, CiA has introduced internally a numbering schema for these groups in addition to the group names (describing the topic and the purpose). There are some technical groups (Italic font) in dormant state (currently not active), but can be waked up on request.

If you are interested in one of these groups and like to participate, please contact CiA office. Members can register for all groups. Non-members may participate as guests on request, in order to get more information to decide, if a permanent participation is useful. Permanent participation requires a CiA membership. Nobody should buy a pig in a poke.

CAN and cybersecurity webinar
On May 16, CiA’s free-of-charge webinar regarding CAN and cybersecurity takes place (16:00 to 17:00 UTC+2). The 1-hour webinar (including 15 minutes of discussion, question, and answer) covers the first ideas of protocols in the different ISO layers, giving participants an overview of how to safeguard their network from potential threats.
CAN XL technology day in Paris
The CiA technology day takes place on June 22 and focuses on CAN XL. During this one-day onsite event the speakers discuss all relevant CAN XL topics such as technical details, implementations, availability, and addressed markets. Additionally, they provide an outlook to the usage of CAN XL as embedded backbone network. The event is accompanied by an exhibition of CAN XL demonstrators, provided by companies offering CAN XL based solutions.
March issue of CAN Newsletter magazine
The March issue focuses on current CAN XL developments. Other topics include CAN tools for setup and operation, diagnostic simulation on CAN FD, and virtual commissioning for industrial machines. Further articles describe implementation requirements for secured gateways as well as the choosing criteria and usage of telematic gateways.
The articles can be downloaded individually or you can download the entire magazine.
