HMS Networks Anybus® Communicator CAN Gateways

HMS Networks Anybus® Communicator CAN Gateways act as gateways between a subnetwork running the standard CAN protocol and several popular industrial networks. These industrial networks include EtherCAT, PROFIBUS, ControlNet, Modbus-RTU, Modbus-TCP, PROFINET, PROFINET IRT, EtherNet/IP, DeviceNet, CC-Link and CANopen. The Anybus® Communicator CAN gateways allow integration without loss of functionality, control, and reliability when retrofitting existing equipment or setting up new installations.

The Anybus Communicator CAN devices recognize and support communication conforming to CAN 2.0A and 2.0B standards. The Communicator adapts to any predefined network using CAN frames as means of data exchange. Using the included Anybus Configuration Manager, all necessary configuration is performed without needing proprietary software.

Features

  • For devices using a CAN 2.0A or 2.0B based protocol
  • Retro-fit existing devices, can connect to any Fieldbus or Industrial Ethernet network
  • Avoids hardware or software changes, all data/protocol conversion is made and mapped to the network from inside the Anybus Communicator
  • Connect slow serial devices without affecting performance, internally stores and intelligently maps I/O data which de-couples the upper Fieldbus/Ethernet network and the slower serial/CAN sub-network
  • Easily converts a device's serial/CAN protocol, no PLC function blocks or any programming is required
  • Provides an inexpensive network connection, connect up to 31x nodes/devices in a multi-drop scenario by selecting RS-485
  • Simplifies network infrastructures with an "in-chassis" alternative, mount the Anybus Communicator on a DIN rail close to the connected devices and free up PLC rack space and cabling
