EU data protection law

Now, CiA provides two monthly email services: CAN Info Mail and CiA Member News (for members only). You can subscribe to them by sending an email. This is to comply with EU General Data Protection Regulation in power by end of May.

CiA 320 released

The CANopen sleep and wake-up handling of CAN nodes is specified in CiA 320. It is used by CiA 447 and CiA 454 devices, for example, and can be used by other battery-powered devices, too.

Second issue of CMN

Employees of CiA member companies may subscribe to the new CiA Member News (CMN) email service. The second issue was just sent to the subscribers. If you like to subscribe to it, send an email to mail(at)can-cia.org (subject: CMN).

CAN Info Mail

CiA provides a new email service: The CAN Info Mail (CIM) will be sent monthly to its subscribers. It contains mainly links to interesting information. If you like to subscribe to it, send an email to mail(at)can-cia.org (subject: CIM).

CiA respects new EU law

In May, the new European General Data Protection Regulation will be in power. This means, CiA is not allowed to send emails without dedicated permission. We are already in the process to establish new services.
