Dissemination of can based open communication solutions

Objetivo



Controller Area Network (CAN) is now emerging as the first choice of many machine builders and OEMs and has been adopted by a growing band of several hundred vendors of industrial automation and control equipment. CANopen addresses the growing needs of the CAN community and aims to meet the communication requirements of the European manufacturers of fieldbus connected products by offering standardised open protocol solutions. The consortium has been established to combine both suppliers and users of distributed control systems and fieldbus based intelligent sub-systems which provide strong, market led customer solutions and form a competent base to disseminate CANopen within the European Union. By making low cost communication solutions available to a wide range of manufacturing enterprises the project will enable European industry to be more competitive.

The objective of the CANopen project is to disseminate and make European manufacturers of automation systems aware of the results of project EP7302 (ASPIC). It will stimulate and promote rapid up-take of the ASPIC results by the automation industry, with the intention of giving European manufacturers of automation products a competitive advantage over US companies, whose CAN products utilise the DeviceNet protocol. The aims and objectives will be achieved by coherent and co-ordinated actions between CANopen partners and by demonstrating best practice of ASPIC results in STA and Newcastle University pilot cells. The industrial and academic partners will stimulate and promote CANopen by setting up and developing ASPIC type automation environments and disseminate results by means of workshops and seminars in their particular sector of industry as well as disseminating by publications, press releases and marketing new CANopen based solutions.

Standard automation device profile and communication will be specified and implemented based upon the results of the ASPIC project. This will provide the basis for technical support to the European companies at present acting individually. The coherent actions and standardisation co-ordinated by the consortium will provide support to automation component manufacturers in European industry enabling them to produce low-cost production systems.

CANopen is co-ordinated by Tetra Pak AB (S) a manufacturer and integrator of packaging machinery. Tetra Pak will demonstrate the benefits of CANopen to their customers and suppliers by the use of low-cost, efficient and competitive CAN-based products. Tetra Pak manages the project employing support from STA Reutlingen(D). Optimised Control (UK) a leading company in advanced motion control systems will take an active part in promotion of CANopen in motion control. Selectron (CH), a manufacturer of CAN based components for automation industry will take an active role in the promotion, dissemination and further development of CANopen protocols. STA (D) and NU (UK) will further configure their pilot cells with CANopen and act as focal points for dissemination, awareness, customer support, conformance testing and evaluation.

All partners are committed to disseminating CANopen by means of demonstrators, exhibitions, workshops, publications, press releases, customer applications and implementation support. It is intended to involve external experts by actively supporting the participation of third party companies in workgroups further developing CANopen protocol specifications.
