UNIGATE® CANopen (master)-Profibus DP (slave) gateway

Save as PDF

Communication can be split into seven layers, layer 1 to layer 7, in accordance with the ISO/OSI reference model.

The Deutschmann Automation gateways convert layers 1 and 2 of the corresponding bus systems. Layers 3 to 6 are blank, and layer 7 is converted in accordance with the configured mapping.

The gateway can be configured through the software Wingate® that is also supplied.

This gateway module from the UNIGATE range of Deutschmann Automation allows a coupling between ProfibusDP and CANopen.

Here the gateway on the CANopen side acts as a standard-compliant master and on the ProfibusDP side as a standard-compliant slave so that the problems that appear again and again (when coupling the CANopen device to a Siemens PLC with ProfibusDP) are solved.

Like all UNIGATE modules this gateway is also developed for the practical industrial use. It has nine LEDs available that allow the user an easy diagnosis.

Like the complete UNIGATE family, the gateway can be configured via the Windows software "Wingate®" that is available free of charge.
