Summary and Outlook
If you are not yet familiar with CAN, we highly recommend that you visit one of the frequent events to get a better technical understanding on how CAN and CANopen actually work. There are CAN application examples for every market segment where embedded microcontrollers are used. Some of the applications not yet mentioned include avionics, home appliances, building automation and autonomously controlled vehicles (driving, swimming, diving and flying) in both civilian and military applications. The number of applications where CAN is used will further increase over the upcoming years, making it almost impossible for embedded design engineers and system integrators to not get confronted by it sooner or later.
