CANopen is a serial bus, higher layer protocol that was developed for standardized embedded networks with highly flexible configuration capabilities. CANopen is used for motion-oriented machine control networks and is used in various application fields such as medical equipment, off-road vehicles, maritime electronics, railway applications or building automation.

EIA-485 Cables

CANopen utilizes EIA-485 cables. Traditionally, EIA-485 transmission in plenum applications required conduit to protect the cable, but Belden offers EIA-485 cables that are CMP listed, they offer flame and smoke protection performance, and they are able to run in a plenum without conduit - without sacrificing electrical performance.
