CANopen Interfaces for SIMATIC
Industrial Automation Systems
The CANopen modules by HMS enable system integrators to easily and inexpensively integrate CANopen field devices with SIMATIC industrial automation equipment. The modules allow interaction between PROFIBUS or PROFINET controllers – such as the S7-1200 or ET200S device series – with CAN/CANopen fieldbus devices (gateways).
Siemens tool support
Fully integrated into the hardware catalog of TIA Portal or STEP 7. PLC function blocks available for fast integration.
CAN 2.0A mode
Supports implementation of any custom CAN based fieldbus protocol due to CAN 2.0A mode.
Cost-effective solution
Enables easy and inexpensive integration of CAN or CANopen based devices with Siemens equipment.
