Integrate your CAN-Bus-based industrial devices and equipment into a PROFINET control system without the necessity for any changes to the device. Just connect and configure.

The Anybus Communicator is a proven and trusted protocol converter gateway connecting devices with a CAN-Bus-based protocol to PROFINET. The gateway performs quick protocol conversion and presents the CAN Bus data to the PLC/Controller in the form of easy-to-process I/O data.

The Communicator is a small stand-alone gateway designed for IP20 and DIN-rail mounting, and it requires a 24 VDC power supply. The Communicator is conformance-tested to the current PROFINET-IO specifications, ensuring full network compatibility.

Typical CAN Bus applications include variable frequency drives, sensors, actuators, human-machine interfaces, barcode readers, RFID readers, industrial scales, and more.

Features & Benefits

• Supports machine builders and device manufacturers with integrating a CAN Bus interface
• Allows system integrators to retro-fit older CAN-Bus-based automation devices into modern PROFINET communication structures
• Requires no hardware or software changes to be made to the connected device
• Compatible with all PLCs with PROFINET support
• Performs complete CAN Bus protocol conversion, no PLC function blocks required
• Flexible CAN Bus frame building method for both Response/Request or Produce/Consume protocols
• Intelligent I/O data mapping within the Communicator permits even devices with slow CAN Bus communication can be integrated without any restrictions to the upper network
• Integrated Email client, FTP server and embedded web-server for diagnostics and data visualization
