Mr. Zeltwanger will share his views on CAN, CANopen, and J1939 technologies and answer questions you might have.

As a premier vendor of industrial strength CAN hardware interfaces, esd electronics, Inc. has made it a mission to provide technical information on CAN, CANopen and SAE J1939 beyond the standard. This mission has generated esd’s latest project, the CAN – CANopen – J1939 Seminar Series; a series of free seminars designed to provide an opportunity to learn about the basics, implementation, and development of CAN (Controller Area Network), CANopen, and J1939. These free seminars offer an occasion to network with colleagues; learn about CAN, CANopen, and J1939, and have questions answered. The seminars also give decision-makers an excellent overview of the technology available for new projects.

Christian Keydel of the Embedded Systems Academy will join Mr. Voss and Mr. Zeltwanger to conduct the CANopen session at this free seminar. Mr. Keydel is a Director and tutor with the Embedded Systems Academy as well as co-author of the book, Embedded Networking with CAN and CANopen by Copperhill Media.
