If you work with embedded systems, off-road vehicles, industrial equipment, or any application running over a CAN bus, you've likely asked: how do I interpret what’s actually being sent over the wire? The answer lies in higher-layer protocols. This webinar breaks down the most widely used ones: J1939, CANopen, and UDS.
Presented by Torsten Gedenk of Emotas Embedded Communication GmbH, and hosted by Grid Connect, this session is a must-watch for systems integrators, controls engineers, and embedded developers who want a clearer picture of how these protocols function, overlap, and can even coexist on the same CAN bus.
You’ll walk away with a solid understanding of what each protocol offers, where it fits, and how to choose or support multiple layers in a single system. Plus practical insights you can apply immediately.
Why CAN by itself isn’t enough and what higher-layer protocols add
Key differences between J1939, CANopen, and UDS
How messages are structured and interpreted by each protocol
Address claiming, parameter grouping, and message timing in J1939
CANopen’s object dictionary, PDOs, and SDOs
How UDS uses ISO-TP to support large diagnostics messages
Common challenges in mixing protocols on the same bus - and how to manage them
Recommended tools and training resources to accelerate your development
This webinar is ideal for:
Embedded and controls engineers working in transportation, automation, industrial, or medical applications
Developers supporting ECUs, gateways, or diagnostics over CAN
Anyone seeking to mix or troubleshoot multiple CAN-based protocols in one network

Duration: 1 hour
Technical Leader and Teacher with a demonstrated history of helping customers understand, deploy and operate industrial networking, IoT/IIoT connectivity, and wireless technologies. I enjoy finding solutions to complex product design and networking problems to meet time to market, budgetary and operational requirements.
Torsten Gedenk, born in 1979. He studied electrical engineering with focus on programming of microcontrollers at Fachhochschule Mittweida/Germany. During an intership semester in 2001 he made comprehensive experience with CAN and CANopen. As a consequence his diploma thesis was about the development of a CANopen Configuration tool, which has been realised later on.
Apart from his management activities he is responsible for the development of CANopen, J1939, UDS, EnergyBus and EtherCAT tools. He also holds CANopen and EnergyBus seminars in Germany and abroad
