The interest groups manage their related special interest groups (SIG). These special interest groups (SIG) on the one side work on the standardization of devices, e. g. input/ output devices, electric drives. On the other side standardization is done on the application layer, e. g. construction machines, lift control, healthcare and many others.
The interest groups manage their related special interest groups (SIG). These special interest groups (SIG) develop for example dedicated CiA specifications and recommendations (e.g. device and applications profiles for CANopen and CANopen FD).


CiA representatives support many international standardization activities ([[International Organization for Standardization|ISO]], [[International Electrotechnical Commission|IEC]], [[European Committee for Standardization|CEN]], [[European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization|Cenelec]], and [[SAE International|SAE]]), dealing with CAN. Moreover, CiA publishes the technical magazine CAN Newsletter (downloadable PDF-file) as well as the CAN Newsletter Online.
CiA member companies actively support development of the CAN FD protocol, which allows higher data rates in a part of the message. Moreover, the data field was extended (from 8 Byte in maximum with classical CAN to up to 64 Bytes with CAN FD). CAN FD is an ISO standard (2nd ed ISO 11898-1 CAN FD) now.

CiA representatives support all international standardization activities (ISO, IEC, CEN, and Cenelec), dealing with CAN. Moreover, CiA publishes the technical magazine CAN Newsletter (downloadable PDF-file) as well as the CAN Newsletter Online.

CAN in Automation (CiA)391 is the international users' and manufacturers' organization that develops and supports CAN-based higher-layer protocols. About 650 (2018) companies from all over the world have joined the non-profit organization. CAN specifications are developed within CiA interest groups (IG) in cooperation with employees of the member companies.

The following IGs have been established: IG CANopen, IG CANopen FD, IG profiles, IG layer 1/2, IG safety/security, IG J1939.

The interest groups manage their related special interest groups (SIG). These special interest groups (SIG) develop for example dedicated CiA specifications and recommendations (e.g. device and applications profiles for CANopen and CANopen FD).

CiA representatives support many international standardization activities (ISO, IEC, CEN, Cenelec, and SAE), dealing with CAN. Moreover, CiA publishes the technical magazine CAN Newsletter (downloadable PDF-file) as well as the CAN Newsletter Online.
