5 System bus (CAN) / CANopen
Lenze device series 8400, 9400, 9300, and ECS have an on-board system bus (CAN)
connection. The protocol used there is a subset of CANopen. Thus the devices are not
CANopen-compliant but can be driven by a CANopen-compatible control system under "L-
force Controls" - also in connection with other CANopen-compatible nodes.

Tip!
Detailed information on the system bus (CAN) can be found on the website of the
CAN User Organization CiA (CAN in Automation):

5.1 CANopen (Logic)
A variety of different field devices can be connected to the CAN Logic line.
To create a CANopen bus line, use the
Communication card MC-CAN2
( 26)
.
CANopen (Logic)
The Logic bus line is used to operate controllers which...
 carry out simple movements,
 do not have a Motion functionality,
 are controlled via PLC functionalities only.
The Lenze sample projects are available for the most common system configurations in
each case with selected field devices.
