General about CANopen in a lift

Due to the high amount of advantages, the use of standardized fieldbus-systems to interconnect electric components is in the trend. This can be seen in the industrial automation, the automotive industry, the facility-management, etc. Common systems in the faciliy-management are for example: EIB, EHS or LON. In the industrial automation for example CAN, Profibus, Interbus or Ethernet are used.

Introduction to the standardized network for lift control systems

Almost in the beginning of the 90ties, the first lift builders started to introduce serial bus-systems to interconnect electronic devices. The benefits were and are reduction of cabling, sharing of information, reduction of cabling failures, simple expandability and enhanced diagnostics as well as easier trouble shooting. When a manufacturer produces all devices by him, there is no need for an open communication standard.
