ICP Electronics Australia has released ICP DAS’s I-8123W-CPS one-port CANopen slave module. As a stand-alone CAN controller, the product is suitable for CANopen applications and be a CANopen slave device on the CANopen network.

The CAN (controller area network) is a serial communication bus especially suited to interconnect smart devices to build smart systems or subsystems. It efficiently supports distributed real-time control with a high level of security. In CAN networks, there is no addressing of subscribers or stations in the conventional sense but, instead, prioritised messages are transmitted.

The module has one independent CAN communication port with a 5-pin screw terminal connector and has the ability to cover a wide range of CANopen applications. The module uses the Phillips SJA1000T and transceiver 82C250, which provide both CAN 2.0A and 2.0B specific, retransmission functionality, bus arbitration and error detection with auto correction.

It can be installed in the WinPACs, ViewPACs and XPACs series. It is suitable for the industrial automation, building automation, vehicle applications and embedded control networks.
