AnaGate CAN - CAN-TCP/IP Gateway
Product description
The AnaGate CAN gateway connects a PC, a embedded computer, a
Simatic S7 or other device to a CAN bus via the TCP/IP network
protocol (Ethernet). The AnaGate CAN basically works as a device with no own CAN
identifier on the bus. The CAN identifier can be selected individually when
sending telegrams.
The CAN messages are transparently embedded in TCP/IP telegrams to enable communication with any
CAN device on the CAN network. This means that a CAN network can be addressed over the Internet or from multiple different PCs over a network.
Higher protocol layers e.g. CANOpen®, Devicenet or J1939 can be used by the controller
system too. WLAN communication is possible too via appropriate devices
(access points).
The AnaGate CAN can be operated in tree different modes:
- In the gateway mode the CAN messages are transferred transparently over TCP/IP
between the CAN network and the controller platform (e.g. PC) in both
directions.
- In the listen mode CAN messages can be recorded without influencing
the CAN bus.
- In the bridge mode up to four arbitrary CAN networks can be
interconnected by up to four AnaGate CAN.
CAN messages are exchanged transparently over TCP/IP between the two AnaGate CAN.
Over appropriate filter lists message exchange between the LAN and CAN bus can be
defined.
