Embedded Networking with CANopen

A 2-day hands-on training class about CANopen, the higher-layer CAN bus protocol best suited for embedded systems.

The hands-on part implements several examples for ARM microcontrollers and uses PC-based tools for implementation, monitoring and stimulation.

This 2-day class gives engineers a fast hands-on introduction into CANopen. As preparation for this class it is recommended to participate in our CAN class.

Prerequisites

Good knowledge about the design and implementation of embedded systems is beneficial. General CAN knowledge is required for this class. As preparation for this class it is recommended to participate in our CAN class.

Hands-On Part

For the hands-on part, we provide computers with all the required software, PC-based CANopen development tools and a microcontroller starter kit with an ARM derivative.

We recommend that two students share one computer, because that maximizes class efficiency as typographical errors and other simple mistakes are less likely to happen in a team environment.

Certification

Certificates are issued to all students participating in the training class.

Schedule, Location, Pricing

The price for the 2-day hands-on training class is $1,195 per student. Food and drinks are included.

The total number of students is limited to 12, to achieve a good learning environment.

Cancellations must be made 2 weeks prior to the event, otherwise tuition is non-refundable. A 15% rescheduling fee applies, if student needs to reschedule within 2 weeks prior to the event.
