CANopen B Rendering

CANopen Router/B

A-CANOR/B

The A-CANOR/B CANopen® Router/B provides intelligent data routing between either EtherNet/IP™, Modbus® RTU or Modbus TCP/IP® and the CANopen bus network. This allows the user to integrate CANopen devices into a Rockwell® Logix platform (e.g. ControlLogix® or CompactLogix™) or any Modbus device with minimal effort.

The module can be configured to be either a CANopen Master or Slave allowing the user to not only integrate CANopen devices into a Logix or Modbus system, but to also allow the user to use Logix, Modbus, or EtherNet/IP devices in an existing CANopen network (by using the CANopen Router B in Slave mode). In a Logix system the module can use Direct-To-Tag technology allowing CANopen devices to exchange data with a Logix controller without the need to write any ladder or application code in Studio 5000.

The module also provides a range of statistics to simplify the diagnostic process as well as a CANopen packet capture for remote diagnosis. A built-in webserver provides detailed diagnostics of system configuration and operation, including the display of CANopen operation and communication statistics, without the need for any additional software.

Features and Benefits

  • CANopen Master or Slave.
  • The router can be configured as an EtherNet/IP Target or Originator, Modbus Master or Slave, to read/write data from a CANopen network.
  • EtherNet/IP, Modbus RTU (RS-232 and RS-485) or Modbus TCP/IP.
  • Support for up to 124 CANopen Slaves (when in Master mode).
  • CANopen Slave mode can emulate up to 128 PDOs with various CANopen node addresses.
  • Support for up to 32 PDOs (receive and transmit) per CANopen Slave.
  • Support for mapping of 128 SDOs with any type of operating interface.
  • Time synchronization of the CANopen network.
  • Direct-To-Tag technology for Logix controllers.
  • Advanced diagnostics including packet capture and web server.
  • Dual Ethernet ports which supports DLR (Device Level Ring).
  • NTP (Network Time Protocol) for external time synchronization.
  • Master Mode supports NMT message to initialize network.
  • Supports CANopen LSS Node and Bit Rate assignment.

Configuration

The Slate Configuration Utility software is used for configuration and troubleshooting of the module. The stand-alone configuration utility allows users to define the setup and configuration of the CANopen Router/B module, connections with controllers and devices.

The configuration utility can be downloaded from the "Downloads" section.
