CAN (Controller Area Network) is a network concept that has been developed for the automotive industry originally. Today, CAN is especially used in networking industrial control systems, sensors and actuators based on the field bus technology.

In our CAN-bus training you will learn about the physical properties of a CAN-bus system as well as protocol structure. The participants will look into the theory of hardware and software design and improve their knowledge in practical units. This CAN-bus training course forms the basis for our advanced-level workshops on CANopen and J1939.

Target group CAN-bus training

The target group of the CAN-bus workshop is development engineers who are looking for a quick start into the ISO standard 11898-1:2015 (Road vehicles – Controller Area Network). Also, we address decision makers and product managers to enable them to assess the suitability of the CAN-bus standard for their applications.
