            Abstract : 
This paper introduce a distributed greenhouse monitoring and control system based on CANopen protocol, and build the CANopen master and slave nodes. We use visual basic language to develop PC-software of this system, and the system realize the collection and real-time control of greenhouse environmental factors by using field sensors and various environmental control equipment.
