Physical Layer The physical layer defines the electrical properties of the CAN bus such as connectors, cable length and cable properties such as
Data Link Layer The data link layer connects the network devices. It assigns priorities to individual data packets and monitors and corrects errors.
Application Layer The application layer uses communication objects (COB) to exchange data between the various devices. Communication objects are elemen- tary components for creating a CANopen application.
