Anybus X-gateway – CANopen Master – PROFIBUS Slave

The Anybus X-gateway CANopen provides a seamless connection between a PROFIBUS network and a secondary CANopen sub-network. This makes it possible to integrate CANopen devices into a PROFIBUS PLC system.

FAST COPYING OF I/O DATA
The X-gateway's primary function is fast transfer of cyclic I/O data between the two networks. I/O data from the PROFIBUS network is written into CANopen objects that can be mapped into CANopen PDOs and vice versa. The gateway acts as a full Master/Manager on the CANopen network and as a Slave on the PROFIBUS network. The data transmission between the two networks is completely transparent with a maximum data capacity of 510 bytes in each direction.

EASY CONFIGURATION - NO PROGRAMMING REQUIRED!
CANopen configuration can easily be made through the included Anybus Configuration Manager CANopen software, or with any other standard CANopen configuration tool. No programming skills are needed. 

Features and benefits
