Addition to the Family! Portfolio Expansion: PN/CAN Gateways
Easily connect CAN-based drives to PROFINET - now with SAE J1939 protocol
High Performance and Flexibility – CAN Applications with the Helmholz PN/CAN Gateway
The Helmholz PN/CAN gateways enable a safe and flexible connection of any CAN devices to PROFINET. Product variants are available for CANopen, CAN Slave, CAN Layer2 and now – brand new – also for the SAE J1939 CAN protocol. With over 20 years of experience in the field of CAN applications across various industries, Helmholz today ensures reliable and secure CAN connectivity of all kinds with its PN/CAN gateways.
Helmholz has further expanded the product portfolio of its PN/CAN gateways and now introduces an additional gateway variant alongside the CANopen Master, Slave, and Layer2 options. The new member of the Helmholz PN/CAN gateway family with SAE J1939 protocol support is easily configurable and can be used either as a complete SAE J1939 device or for diagnostic purposes. Like all gateways in the Helmholz family, it impresses with its easy-to-use approach.
The I/O data of the CAN nodes are mapped transparently and can be freely configured into the PROFINET network and are processed directly in the PLC. The PN/CAN gateway is integrated into the hardware configurator with a GSDML file and fully configured there. Additional software tools for parameterization or programming blocks are not required, making the use of the gateway particularly straightforward.
In addition to the standard functions of common protocols, many special applications can be realized with all Helmholz PN/CAN gateways, such as:
- Maximum plant configuration through dynamic use of the actual device setup.
- Controlled re-parameterization of CANopen nodes from the application during start-up and operation (Hot-Plug/Hot-Swap).
- Fast data transmission in transparent mode with over 100 ring buffers for highly parallel communication.
- Changing the bit rate and node ID of CAN devices via LSS protocol.
- Integration of non-compliant CANopen devices into a CANopen network.
- Full SAE J1939 device functionality through flexible application programming.
The Helmholz Support Team offers personal and free consultation and provides precise support in finding the right CAN solution, even for specific applications.
