  • Allows system integrators to retro-fit older CAN-based automation devices into PROFIBUS communication structures
  • Requires no hardware or software changes to be made to the connected device
  • Compatible with all PLCs with PROFIBUS support
  • Performs complete CAN protocol conversion, no PLC function blocks required
  • Flexible CAN frame building method for both Response/Request or Produce/Consume protocols
  • Intelligent I/O data mapping within the Communicator permits even devices with slow CAN communication can be integrated without any restrictions to the upper network
