Anybus Communicator CAN Converters Gateways User Manual

Anybus Communicator CAN – ControlNet

Communicator CAN Converters Gateways

Integrate your CAN-based industrial devices and equipment to a ControlNet control system without the need for any changes to the device. Just connect, configure and you’re done!
The Anybus Communicator is a proven and trusted protocol converter gateway that connects nonindustrial devices with a CAN-based protocol to ControlNet. The gateway performs an intelligent protocol conversion and presents the CAN data to the PLC/Controller as easily processed I/O data.
The Communicator is slim stand-alone gateway designed for IP20 and DIN-rail mounting, requiring a 24-volt power supply. The Communicator is conformance tested to current ControlNet specifications guaranteeing network compatibility.

TYPICAL CAN APPLICATIONS

Typical serial applications include variable frequency drives, sensors, actuators, human machine interfaces, barcode readers, RFID readers and industrial scales among others.
