Welcome to CANopen-Lift.org

This wiki is about the CANopen technology used in a lift. Here we discuss the topics application profile, technical solutions, products and applications and we will present some references with this technology.

This wiki is attended by the CANopen-Lift community, the members of the SIG Lift and of the MG Lift. You are cordially invited to add your own content to this subject. If you do don't know how to do this refer to our tutorial.

You can find an overview over this wiki in the Community portal or in the Site categories.

Currently, this wiki is biliterate. In year 2002 we began with a German website and in year 2005 with a German wiki. CANopen's increasing awareness in more and more countries all over the world brought us to the decision of setting up an English wiki, too, in order to meet the demand of information. At this time you will find most of the information only on the German part of this wiki but we are working hard on translating. If you liked to help us, contact the Webmin, please.

We hope you enjoy your visit and draw inspiration from this wiki.

Yours sincerely,
Webmin.

Interlift 2013

In the period from 15th to 18th October 2013 the world's largest trade fair for elevator technology Interlift 2013 took place in Augsburg.

The CiA was present there once again. They supplied an information stand about CANopen-Lift and the CANopen-Lift demonstrator to show the functionality of CANopen in lifts.

You could find many new and familiar CANopen products at the stands of many manufacturers.

Model lift system with CANopen components

Looking for Sponsors

The Heilbronn University started a a research project, that aims at various aspects of the automation of elevators with CANopen, such as compliance testing "in the loop" and the possibilities of telemetry and remote diagnostics.

The goal of the project is an elevator system model built in 1:10 scale and controlled via original CANopen components.
