Communication gateway Anybus AB7318-B

industrialEtherNet/IPCAN

Product overview
The Anybus Communicator AB7318-B is a CAN to EtherNet/IP gateway enabling connection of CAN‑based devices to EtherNet/IP control systems. The unit supports common CAN protocols and EtherNet/IP features, and is designed for DIN‑rail installation close to field equipment.

Features and benefits

• No hardware or software changes needed — Integrate CAN devices into an EtherNet/IP system without modifying the original device: connect and configure.
• CAN frame building — Visual CAN frame creation via Anybus Configuration Manager.
• Protocol compatibility — Converts CANopen and custom CAN 1.0, 2.0A or 2.0B (11/29‑bit) protocols.
• Slim DIN‑rail design — IP20 enclosure, reduces wiring and mounts on EN 50022 DIN rail.
• Dual‑port Ethernet — 2‑port switched Ethernet for daisy‑chaining; eliminates external switches.
• Easy integration — No PLC code or function blocks required; compatible with major PLC vendors.
• Configuration management — Save/load configurations for reuse; EDS file available for EtherNet/IP.
• Lifecycle support — HMS provides firmware and network updates throughout product life.
