CANopen CiA-417 Version 2.xx

CANopen CiA-417 Version 2.xx The specification CiA-417 receives a fundamental overhaul to make it easier to understand and to implement. Even a few relics, that have shown themselves to be unnecessary, have been deleted. The new version 2.0 is to be presented ahead of the Interlift 2009.

In the last months the specification has been completely revisited by the CiA in cooperation with the members. The advance version (1.0.9.1) of the new specification and the forms to submit commentaries have been sent to the members in August 2009, with the request to prove the specification and send commentaries to the CiA until September 30, 2009.

At the meeting of the SIG Lift the new specification 2.0 has been adopted and working on the extensions for the coming 2.1 has been started.
