Anybus Communicator CAN - ControlNet
CAN-based industrial equipment and devices can be integrated into the ControlNet control system without any changes to the device. Simply connect and configure!
Anybus Communicator is a proven and trusted protocol converter gateway that connects non-industrial devices with CAN-based protocols to ControlNet. the gateway performs intelligent protocol conversion and presents CAN data to PLCs/controllers as easy-to-handle I/O data.
The Communicator is a slim standalone gateway designed for IP20 and DIN rail mounting and requires 24 volt power. The Communicator has been tested for conformance to the current ControlNet specification to ensure network compatibility.
Typical CAN Applications
Typical serial applications include inverter drives, sensors, actuators, human-machine interfaces, barcode readers, RFID readers and industrial scales.
