CAN Info Mail

This monthly email is for all CAN fellows.
May 2018

A word from the CiA Managing Director

The CAN community is growing; about 30 new members have joined CiA in 2018. We are looking for further members, especially in the field of commercial vehicles. CiA is willing to support road and winter service equipment manufacturers to standardize CAN connectivity. This includes also any kind of cleaning vehicles such as street sweepers.

Interested parties may contact me by e-mail.

 

CiA technical groups

  • CANopen Special Interest Group IoT
    This SIG specifies the link for CANopen networks to the IT world. This includes resource management and cyber security aspects.
  • Interest Group CAN FD
    The CiA 601-3 system design recommendation is still under development, because some additional parameters need to be considered.

If you like to participate, please write to secretary@can-cia.org

CANopen code generator

CAN Newsletter Online reported about Microcontrol’s code generation tool supporting CiA 417 (CANopen Lift application profile) and CiA 1301 (CANopen FD application layer). This well-visited publication is financed by banners.

In Germany, May is larded with holidays

May starts with the Labor Day (1st) and ends with Corpus Christi (31th). Of course, in between there are some working days, too. However, the number of CiA-organized events and meetings is still high. They are all listed on CiA’s website.
