The Anybus interface will Integrate your CAN-based industrial devices and equipment to a Ethernet/IP 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 Ethernet/IP. 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 Ethernet/IP specifications guaranteeing network compatibility. Typical CAN applications include variable frequency drives, sensors, actuators, human machine interfaces, barcode readers, RFID readers and industrial scales among others.
