Basic Principles and Applications of CANopen (Part 1) – Overview of CAN and Its Higher Layer Protocols

Basic Principles and Applications of CANopen (Part 1) - Overview of CAN and Its Higher Layer Protocols

From the OSI network model perspective, fieldbus networks generally implement only the 1 layer (Physical Layer), the 2 layer (Data Link Layer), and the 7 layer (Application Layer). Because fieldbus typically includes only one network segment, it does not require the 3 layer (Transport Layer) and the 4 layer (Network Layer), nor does it need … Read more
