Explainer Video

smartPCN – historic video from 2014


In principle a lot is still valid. Things that have changed since then are:

  • COG is renamed to COGD and has a new logo
  • smartPCN is standardized with VDMA 24903 and IEC standard is in preparation
  • smartPCN manager by COGD has been discontinued. The effort and product responsibility for just a kind of demo tool was too high for COGD as an industry association

A rework of the video is on the to do list of the smartPCN working group. In the meantime professional applications based on smartPCN are available. Please check with the sponsors and other providers.
