MGSW1600 problems in CANOpen communicate and RS232 communicate

Hello
I had bought MGSW1600 magnetic sensor and played with it for a while but i have 2 main problems:
- How can i programming a micro controller (Ex: Arduino, PIC,...) to get data from sensor via CANOpen, do i need any device?, please give me some information.
- I had tried to get the data via RS232 and Arduino but i cannot read anything.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate your help.

In order to communicate over CAN, you will need hardware specifically designed for CAN. I cannot give a specific hardware recommendation since you did not mention which micro controller you are using, however here is a CAN Shield for Arduino.

For RS232 with an Arduino, you will need to convert the 12V RS232 signal of our motor controllers to the TTL voltage level Arduino uses. We have a FAQ about the matter, as well as sell a TTL Converter on our webstore.
