What do you like best about CANopen?

You can set priorities By the arbitration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CANopen?

The speed is low and that limits the range of the application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CANopen solving and how is that benefiting you?

I did networks between motors and sensors. A Linux machine was the master and sent commands to them. The communication was very stable and I was able to set priorities with the most critical devices to have the highest. This way, I built a trustworthy communication for my machine.

What do you like best about CANopen?

CANopen integrated services for network management (NMT), publish-subscribe model using PDO, and client-server model using SDO for large data transfers and runtime configuration Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CANopen?

Difficult to estimate latency and jitter for data transfers between the nodes. if there are hard real-time constraints, synchronous PDO transfers shall be used Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering CANopen:

It would help if you also considered EtherCAT depending on the requirements of your network. Please pay special attention to CANopen implementation you plan to use since it could include faults, provide reduced functionality, or have limiting constraints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CANopen solving and how is that benefiting you?

CANopen provides solutions for deterministic control networks and networks for control and telemetry data exchange. CANopen advantages include communication compatibility and interoperability, ease in network configuration and management, and massive support for HW devices, controllers, and SW applications.
