CANopen® SIG Hydraulics re-established

Nuremberg, Germany, December 11, 2009. The VDMA is reviewing its bus-independent profile for fluid power (hydraulics) devices. CiA members and other interested parties are commenting the reviewed profile. CiA will update the corresponding CANopen CiA 408 profile. For that reason, CiA has re-established the CANopen SIG (Special Interest Group) Hydraulics. The group will send joint comments to the VDMA by end of February. In parallel, CiA will re-structure the CiA 408 profile specification in order to improve the readability and to improve the mapping of the VDMA profile to CANopen. All interested parties may contact CiA headquarters to get involved in the update and review process.
