The Anybus interface will Integrate your CAN based industrial devices and equipment to a EtherCAT 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 non-industrial devices with a CAN based protocol to EtherCAT. 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 a24-volt power supply. The Communicator is conformance tested to current EtherCAT specifications guaranteeing network compatibility.
