CANOPEN

CANOpen Applications

CANOpen is used for motion-oriented control networks and is used in various applications:

• Medical equipment
• Off-road vehicles
• Maritime electronics
• Railway applications
• Building automation

CANOpen Product Specificaions

CANOpen, like some other protocols, utilizes EIA-485 cables. Traditionally, these cables required conduit for routing; however, Belden has engineered CMP listed cables which offer flame and smoke protection – providing supreme electrical performance and cost savings without the need for conduit. Options include:

• Standard CANOpen – Belden 3105A
• Paired constructions available: 1, 2, 3 or 4 pairs
• Armoring options: continuous or interlock
• Power-limited tray cable (PLTC) rating available
• Additional jacket options: CPE available
