User Groups

There are a number of user groups open for those who use CAN in industrial applications. There are mainly two kinds of user groups:

  • User Groups connected to a specific higher layer protocol (HLP), e.g. ODVA for DeviceNet.
  • User Groups for a specific application, such as CANHUG for hydraulic applications.

The user groups generally aim to distribute information regarding available products, standardize e.g. data formats for information sent over a CAN bus etc. User Groups also provide the possibility of exchanging information and experiences between members in a more or less formal manner.
