Prerequisites

General CAN knowledge is beneficial for this class, but not required.

Hands-On setup

The software package used for this class is the free CANopen Magic ProS Eval. This software simulates entire CANopen networks within a PC. Networks can be simulated based on a variety of CANopen I/O nodes following various device profiles.  Each workstation is shared by two students. Students immediately review each other ensuring that the class progress is not hindered by typographical errors.

Certification

This class does not include a certification test. However, it prepares all students to take the “CANopen Network Administrator Certification Test” offered by ESAcademy. An extra certification fee applies when requesting the certificate.

Language

All training material is in English language. Classes are conducted in English or German, depending on participants.

Tutors

The classes are taught by either Olaf Pfeiffer or Christian Keydel, tutors at ESAcademy. Both are co-authors of the book “Embedded Networking with CAN and CANopen”. They regularly present at international events such as the Real-Time and Embedded Computing Conferences, the Embedded Systems Conferences and the international CAN conferences.
