Hardware and Software Design

This pioneering controller goes far beyond the functionality of conventional PLC controllers. As an all in one IoT gateway, CANopen automation controller and top-hat rail PC, the µMIC.200 offers an end-to-end solution.

I/O modules are a fundamental component in industrial automation. They act as an interface between the control unit and the operational devices of the production line, facilitating precise control of complex processes. Our products have a CAN interface, so we support the CANopen, CANopen FD and J1939 protocols

• You already use CAN bus, but would like to exploit the opportunities more effectively? • You are new to CAN bus and want to avoid mistakes? • You have worked with other fieldbuses before and look for an introduction to the CAN features? Benefit form MicroControl’s expertise and attend our webinars! MicroControl’s presence in various bus markets and our expertise gained in more than 25 years of experience guarantee relevant and up-to-date hands-on webinars. Increase quality and efficiency of your development projects, reduce time to market and give your products the competitive edge.

CANopen has been developed by the members of the international user and producer assosiation CAN in Automation (CiA). The CANopen application layer defines different communication services and protocols (e.g. process and service data) as well as a network management. CANopen is mainly used as an embedded network in machinery, but also as a general industrial communications system. It is based on the international standards ISO 11898-1 (CAN protocol) and ISO 11898-2 (fast physical layer). The CANopen application layer has been standardized by the CENELEC and is defined in the European standard EN 50325-4.
