CAN-PN/2-FD

As all gateways of the family, the gateway CAN-PN/2-FD is based on the CPU SitaraTM AM4377. It acts as a PROFINET IO device and connects CAN FD devices with PROFINET controllers. It works with a maximum of 1440 bytes of input and output process data on the PROFINET IO bus. A typical application of the gateway is the networking between commercially available PROFINET controllers, such as a SIMATIC S7 or other controllers, with the CAN FD bus. The new uniform technology offers long-term availability and thus future security.

On the CAN side, the gateway operates like an ordinary bus node, so that CAN FD and CAN Classic frames from any CAN network can be transferred to the PROFINET side. It supports usable baud rates from 10 kbps to 8 mbps and CAN data up to 64 bytes per frame. The gateway is backwards compatible and thus also supports CAN Classic (2.0A/B).

The CAN frames as process data can be configured via modules and thus enable direct integration into the PLC address space. Up to 512 modules are available per gate
