What is CANopen?
CANopen is a communication protocol and device profile specification for embedded systems used in automation. It is based on the Controller Area Network (CAN) and provides a standardized communication framework for industrial automation, medical equipment, and other applications. CANopen defines communication protocols, device profiles, and application profiles, facilitating interoperability between devices from different manufacturers.
