On March 5, 1992, six companies and two individuals have established the CAN in Automation (CiA) international users’ and manufacturers’ group.

Today, more than 700 companies and other legal entities have joined the nonprofit CiA association fostering CAN-based technologies, promoting international standardization and networking among member companies involved in many application fields.

Walvoil, a great advocate of standards since the very beginning, has been a proud member of the association since 2002.
A long way has passed since we developed the first vehicle control element with compact joystick and buttons, the UPC230.

Since then we have continued to apply this communication protocol in various applications using it not only in joysticks but also in our CED400 control units, up to the latest products such as the joystick + MTH handle.

For Walvoil, the best way to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the CiA and the 20th anniversary of our affiliation is to go on to develop our applications according to international standards such as the CANopen protocol.
