Communicator™ CAN

The Anybus Communicator CAN makes it possible

to connect devices with a CAN port to all major
fieldbus and industrial Ethernet networks.
The Anybus Communicator CAN performs an
intelligent conversion between a CAN-based
protocol of an automation device and the chosen
fieldbus/Ethernet network. The Communicator CAN
is a compact gateway that consumes very little
space in a switching cabinet and is easily
mounted onto a standard DIN rail.

Typical Industries
APPLICATION EXAMPLE
S7PLC - PROFINET Master

Control Network - e.g. PROFINET

Conversion between CAN based protocols
and the chosen industrial network
