1SI CANopen module for SIMATIC ET200S I/O now with CAN 2.0A support
Monday, June 28, 2010

HMS has now extended the functionality of the 1SI CANopen module for the SIMATIC ET200S I/O system with the integration of transparent CAN 2.0A.

With this new functionality, the 1 SI CANopen module allows transmission of any CAN frame from the PLC via Profibus or Profinet and the 1SI CANopen module to any kind of CAN devices, regardless of the overlaying CAN protocol.

HMS provides new PLC function blocks for this functionality, that gives the programmer of the PLC program (STEP7) the possibility to interpret/generate any CAN frame directly in the PLC program and thereby making it possible to implement customer specific CAN protocols.

The 1SI CANopen enables the easy integration of CANopen/CAN enabled devices within the Siemens Profibus and Profinet based automation architecture. Typical applications include all kinds of machines and automation systems where CANopen/CAN enabled drives and Siemens PLCs are used. The 1SI CANopen module can be engineered with STEP7 which helps users to minimize engineering efforts.
