OverviewThe Anybus Communicator – CAN to Modbus-TCP (item AB7319-B) is a protocol converter that links CAN-based devices to Modbus-TCP control systems. It provides protocol translation, dual Ethernet ports for daisy-chaining, DIN-rail mounting and IP20 protection for machine-room integration.
Product descriptionThe Communicator converts CAN protocols (including CANopen and custom CAN 1.0/2.0A/2.0B formats) to Modbus-TCP (Slave/Server). Integration requires no changes to the CAN device hardware or firmware. Configuration is performed with the Anybus Configuration Manager and supports saving/loading configurations for reuse.
Features and benefits- No device modification required — integrate CAN devices into Modbus-TCP networks by connecting and configuring the gateway.
- Visual CAN frame building — configure CAN frames using the Anybus Configuration Manager.
- Protocol support — CANopen and custom CAN 1.0/2.0A/2.0B, with Produce/Consume and Request/Response transactions.
- Dual-port Ethernet — versions with two switched RJ45 ports allow daisy-chaining and can eliminate external switches.
- Compact DIN-rail design — 27 mm width for installation near field devices, reducing cable lengths.
- PLC compatibility — operates with PLCs from leading manufacturers as a Modbus-TCP slave/server.
- Save & Load configurations — reuse completed setups for faster deployments.
- Lifecycle updates — firmware and network updates handled by HMS during the product lifecycle.
- 3-year warranty — manufacturer warranty as stated for the product.
