Prerequisites

CANopen knowledge is required for this class. We recommend to take the CANopen for Network Administrators class before attending this class.

Hands-On setup (class dependent)

The software packages used for this class are the free CANopen Magic ProS Eval, the development system CANopen Magic Ultimate and compiler systems from Keil or Microsoft. CANopen Magic Ultimate can be used for configuration and analysis of networks as well to hook-up customized CANopen nodes simulated on a PC. Hardware provided and used includes a PEAK PCAN-USB CAN interface and a Keil ARM evaluation board. 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.

Language

All training material is in English language. Classes are taught in English or German depending on location and participants.
