About CiA:

CAN in Automation (CiA) is the international users’ and manufacturers’ group that develops and supports CANopen and other CAN-based higher-layer protocols. The non-profit group was founded in 1992 to provide CAN-based technical, product and marketing information. Approximately 500 companies are member of the non-profit group that is headquartered in Nuremberg, Germany. CiA's considerable efforts have reached CAN in a large number of standardized applications worldwide.

CiA feels the need for promoting CAN in India as it is not yet a well-known communication system to many of the Indian developers, designers, and users. The automation requirements are now increasing in India. Formed in 2009 working as CiA's Indian representative office, with a view to spread CAN awareness in India and provide help to CAN community as a local support.

Salient features of Control Area Network(CAN)

1. Distributed controllers – Separate CPU per application.
2. Inexpensive standard available CAN logic components can be used.
3. Input and output Data passed to each application by a 2-wire common bus with common ground.
4. Small DATA Packet per application. Only destination name required in the packet.
5. Each application distinctly named.
6. High speed for automation because of optimized data packets.
7. Real time automation application possible.
8. Max speed 1 mbit/s for short distances.
9. Large distances upto 1 km possible at lower data speeds on the same BUS.
10. NRZ (Non return to zero) encoding on BUS signals provides noise immunity.

Benefits of CAN

1. Processing power increases as the CPUs get added per application.
2. Reduction in wiring because of common 2-wire bus for data communication plus common ground.
3. Faster response as limited data packet per application has to be passed on the BUS
4. Well defined communication protocol for reliable data transfer
5. Multiple Master CPU's control possible.

CANopen features

1. CANopen provides standardized software development methods and profiles.Like for automobiles, for lifts, for cranes, for trains etc.
2. Any operating system development platform may be used.
3. Systematic standards help user, to integrate different manufacturers devices in project.
4. Standard CANopen profiles for vehicles, lift control, cranes, railways and many others are already available while for new applications are on the way.
