ScopeEnhancement and maintenance of all general CANopen specifications for application layer, physical layer, and additional services and protocols. Releasing of all documents in the Draft Specification (DS) or public status.

ScopeThe scope of this IG is the development and maintenance of CANopen FD specifications, i.e. CiA 13XX documents. This includes the CiA 1310 series of conformance test plans as well.

ScopeThe Interest Group (IG) profiles establishes and coordinates Special Interest Groups (SIGs). It approves Draft Specification (DS) documents developed by SIGs. The IG is responsible for the CiA 4XX series comprising device, application, and interface profiles as well as mappings to classic CANopen, CANopen FD, and other higher-layer protocols such as J1939.

ScopeThe Interest Group (IG) lower layers, preceeding IG lower layers, is responsible for all CAN lower layers specifications. The IG develops additional specifications, recommendations and implementation guidelines for CAN FD. This covers CAN FD physical layer recommendations with special regard to topology and bit timing, recommendations with regard to system design as well as with regard to CAN FD controller interfaces, additional requirements for HS-PMA implementations compliant with ISO 11898-1: 2015 and ISO 11898-2:2016 with the signal improvement capability (SIC), requirements and test methods of the mechanical and electrical parameters for cables to be used in CAN FD networks and for common-mode chokes to be used in Classical CAN networks and CAN FD networks. Furthermore, the IG devolops specifications and test plans for CAN XL. It is intended to cover data link layer and physical signaling, physical media attachment sub-layer, node and sytem design recommendations, and etc.

ScopeThe Interest Group (IG) J1939 comments J1939-based documents. Additionally, the SIG submits proposals to J1939-based specifications and recommended practices. These documents include the SAE J1939 series, the ISO 11783 series (also known as Isobus), DIN 4630, and IEC 61162-3 (also known as NMEA 2000). Furthermore, the IG releases application notes and implementation guidelines.

ScopeThe IG safety/security coordinates all CiA specifications on functional safety and cybersecurity. These activities relate to Classical CAN or CAN FD. They may also cover the cybersecurity function for higher-layer protocols including CANopen (FD) and J1939-based solutions.

ScopeThis IG develops and maintains redundancy concepts for high-availability, safety-critical CAN-based networks. This includes specifications for redundant CAN communication, covering CAN networks and CAN nodes. Additionally, requirements for high-availability systems from different industries are in the scope of this IG.
