The DP/CAN coupler integrates CANopen® devices into a PROFIBUS DP network. It is a full-fledged CANopen® master and supports network management, SYNC telegrams, and node guarding to monitor the participants.
On the PROFIBUS-DP, the DP/CAN coupler is a normal participant.
The IO data of the CANopen® participants is shown in the PROFIBUS in a transparent and freely configurable manner.
The DP/CAN coupler is integrated in the hardware configurator with a GSD file and can be completely configured there. Additional tools are not necessary.
On PROFIBUS all standard transfer rates up to 12 Mbps are supported, on the CAN Bus up to 1 Mbps.
The PROFIBUS address is set using a DIP switch.
Parameterization of the CANopen® participants using SDO telegrams and management of emergency messages is also possible.
Alternatively, the DP/CAN coupler can also be used as a CAN Layer 2 device on the CAN Bus. This makes it possible to also integrate customer-specific CAN protocols via PROFIBUS.
