Condition Monitoring and Embedding CANopen in IoT

Modern elevator applications increasingly involve components interconnected using standardized or proprietary field bus systems. These systems grant the local access to the elevator embedded networks and would require remote connectivity component e.g. a gateway(s) to grant the remote access to these networks e.g. to perform system diagnostics or submit data for remote processing. An effective elevator management would require, additionally, the appropriate component condition monitoring to prevent operation breakdown. This presentation gives insights into the solutions provided by CAN in Automation. The condition-monitoring concept of CANopen lift can be extended for any other CANopen application. CANopen IoT concept from CiA offers a gateway services from TCP/IP networks to CANopen networks. The CANopen IoT in combination with the condition monitoring could be a link from embedded CANopen network to a Web-based component monitoring and diagnostic stations.
