PN/CAN-Gateway, PROFINET/CANopen

The PN/CAN gateway connects CANopen® devices in a PROFINET network. At the same time, it is a full-fledged CANopen® master. As the master, it supports gateway network management, SYNC telegrams, and node guarding / heartbeat for monitoring the participants. On the PROFINET network, the PN/CAN gateway is a PROFINET IO device that supports transfer rates up to 100 Mbps full duplex, and on the CAN bus up to 1 Mbps is supported. The IO data (PDOs) of the CANopen® participants is transparently displayed in a freely configurable manner in the PROFINET network and can be processed directly in the PLC. The PN/CAN gateway is integrated with a GSDML file in the hardware configurator and can be completely configured there. Other software tools for parameterization or handling blocks for programming are not required. Parameterization of the CANopen® participants using SDO telegrams and management of emergency messages is also possible. Device variants with CAN Layer 2 and CANopen® Slave are in development.
