Of course, the most important sources of information for CANopen are the specification documents of CiA. However, specifications are often very dry and are not always easy to understand. This is true of the CANopen specifications as well. Helpful supplements to these specifications include several books that shed light on the CANopen field and its relation to practical applications.
You will also find fundamental know-how on the CANopen standard and network structure at the Vector website.
Efficient training programĀ E-Learning modules
In the framework of its E-Learning modules, Vector is addressing everyone who wishes to get a clear idea of how a CAN communication system works. Currently, three E-Learning modules are available for free use online. These modules are optimal as preparation for classic Vector classroom courses, including "Introduction to CAN".
Teaching fundamental knowledge from theory to practice - the CANopen Seminar
The most effective way to learn the fundamentals is to participate in a CANopen training course. In this context, basic concepts are presented so that they are comprehensible to everyone. Furthermore, the trainer is there to answer individual questions. Vector offers training events on the topic of CANopen, and we would be glad to conduct them at your business site too. 
Do you have a number of developers on your team who would benefit from further training in the CANopen field? Would you prefer a more intensive introduction to the material while discussing your own system requirements? Our experienced trainers would be glad to come to your business site and conduct training tailored to your special requirements.
