Communicator
CAN
The Anybus Communicator CAN makes it possible
to connect devices with a CAN-port to all major
fieldbus and industrial Ethernet networks. The
Anybus Communicator CAN performs an intelligent
conversion between a CAN-based protocol of an
automation device and the chosen
fieldbus/Ethernet network. The Communicator CAN
is a compact gateway that consumes very little
space in a switching cabinet and is easily mounted
onto a standard DIN rail.
APPLICATION EXAMPLE
Control Network - e.g. PROFINET
CAN based protocol
S7PLC - PROFINET Master
Flexible CAN configuration
The included Anybus Conguraon
Manager is an easy-to-use, visual
CAN frame building tool that requires
no programming or scripng skills.
FDT/DTM based version of the
Anybus Conguraon Manager are
available.
The exible CAN frame building
method makes it possible to congure
almost any CAN-based Produce/
Consume and Request/Response
protocol used in the industry.
The uplink eldbus or Ethernet
slave interface is congured using a
standard device descripon le (GSD/
EDS) in the PLC engineering tool.
Features and benefits
CAN protocol converter gateways connecng CAN devices
to eldbus/Ethernet networks
Support for custom CAN 1.0, 2.0A and 2.0B protocols
Handles mixed Produce/Consume and Request/Response
protocols and transacons
No hardware or soware changes needed to your devices
No PLC code or funcon blocks required
Compable with PLCs from all leading manufacturers
Versions with Dual Port switched Ethernet allows for daisy
chaining and eliminates the need for external switches
