With AnyBus Communicator CAN, you can integrate CAN-based field devices into a PROFINET network. No changes to the serial device are necessary for this.The AnyBus Communicator CAN is a tried and tested and reliable protocol converter that connects non-networked devices that support CAN-based protocols to PROFINET. The Communicator performs intelligent protocol conversion and provides the CAN data of the higher-level PLC as I/O data.The Communicator is a compact stand-alone gateway for IP20 and DIN rail mounting that requires a 24-volt power supply. It meets the current PROFINET specification and has been successfully tested for network compatibility. TYPICAL APPLICATIONSTypical applications include frequency converters, sensors, actuators, operator terminals, bar code readers, RFID readers or industrial scales.Features and benefitsMachine builders / device manufacturers do not need a PROFINET interface in their devices.Enables system integrators to integrate older CAN-based automation
