- Domains : Aeronautics , Safety , Medical , Avionics , Industrial , Automotive , Rail , Certifiable
- Protocols : CAN / CANOPEN
- Products / Services : Software
- Provider : ISIT
The ISIT CANopen Safety Certifiable stack is designed to meet the strict requirements of safety-critical applications. It allows you to leverage the CANopen protocol while providing all the essential elements required for final product certification with an accredited body, including a complete documentation package (programming and safety manuals), unit, integration and validation test reports.
SIL 2 / SIL 3 – Ready-to-Use CANopen Safety Stack
With the ISIT CANopen Safety Certifiable protocol stack (ISIT_COSAFE_LC), ISIT takes system safety a step further by offering the only “ready-to-use” IEC61508 pre-certified CANopen stack (with Safety extension) on the market, delivered together with a certification pack. Fully compliant with EN 50325-5, it enables rapid, and cost-effective integration.
This solution makes it possible to integrate CANopen into products subject to stringent safety standards such as IEC 61508, DO-178C, ISO 26262, or ECSS-E-ST-50-15C, up to the highest certification levels (e.g., SIL 3 or DAL A). Compared to proprietary developments, ISIT’s solution offers unmatched ROI and thus significantly reduced time-to-certification.

Designed for Safety Applications
Safety-critical systems must comply with rigorous standards and obtain certification from independent bodies, an inherently complex, lengthy, and costly process. ISIT simplifies this challenge by combining deep expertise in industrial protocols, embedded systems, and certification requirements into a streamlined, certifiable solution.
To address diverse industrial fields and varying levels of safety requirements, ISIT provides a scalable architecture. Built on a common code base, it allows certification at multiple levels and offers seamless evolution toward higher safety requirements, without the need to modify the protocol layer.
