CAN/CANopen Seminars

Port GmbH offers CAN/CANopen seminars in German or English for your employees.

The seminars impart the theoretical bases of the CAN bus technology, but also demonstrate the handling of our products using working examples.

During seminars with workshop character we orientate on a number of
participants of max. five persons to be able to execute an effective training.
We offer both standard seminars and CAN/CANOpen seminars tailored
to customer requirements.

The main emphases of our seminars are:

  • Introduction to CAN
  • introduction to CANopen
  • instructions to the CANopen Library
  • instructions to the CAN driver software interface
  • instructions of the CANopen software tools


We also offer our seminars as in House seminars. These are just arranged
as our standard seminars as regards to content, but can be adapted to customer wishes. In House seminars can be presented in German or English.
With in House seminars you can have economically more employees trained
simultaneously with lower overhead.

The costs amount to 1.995,00 € (up to 5 person),  for a 2 day seminar if presented at port GmbH, plus 55.00 EUR per participant for the course materials.
During a seminar at your location additional costs for travelling expenses
and overnight stay arise. 

We'll be glad to make an appropriate offer:
