Reliable and Future-Proof Connection of CAN FD with PROFINETGREENFIELD, Mass., Dec. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- esd electronics has extended its new PROFINET gateway family by a variant for CAN FD. Just like the whole series, the new gateway CAN-PN/2-FD is based on the CPU SitaraTM AM4377. It operates as a PROFINET IO device and connects CAN FD devices with PROFINET controllers. It works with a maximum of 1440 bytes input and output process data on the PROFINET IO bus. The new CAN-PN/2-FD gateway is the first fieldbus gateway to connect CAN FD with PROFINET A typical application of the gateway is the interconnection of commercially available PROFINET controllers, such as a SIMATIC S7 or others, with the CAN FD bus. The new standardized technology offers long-term availability and thus future security. On the CAN side, the gateway acts like an ordinary bus node, so that CAN FD and Classic CAN frames from any of the CAN networks 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 Classic CAN (2.0A/B). The CAN frames in form of process data can be configured via modules and therefore allow direct integration into the PLC address space. Up to 512 modules are available per gateway. In addition to the process data, record object data can be used for asynchronous sending and receiving of CAN frames and for reading CAN statistics. Reliable data transmission is guaranteed even at high CAN bus loads. esd electronics, Inc about esd electronics gmbh: esd electronics is an internationally operating company located in Hannover, Lower Saxony, Germany.
