The CAN-EtherCAT module links any EtherCAT network to a CAN network. The gateway operates as a EtherCAT slave (ET1100) with a maximum of 8 kbytes input or output data on the EtherCAT bus.
With the CAN gateway one can connect CAN modules with CANopen (CiA DS 301) or layer-2 (ISO 11898-1) implementation to a realtime EtherCAT network.
The number of CAN nodes is not limited by the gateway.
The module can also be configured as Ethernet switch port using the EoE protocol (Ethernet-over-EtherCAT)
The CAN high speed (ISO 11898-2) compatible interface allows a maximum data-transfer rate of 1 Mbit/s.
The 100 BASE-TX EtherCAT interface is compatible to IEEE802.3 and runs with 100 Mbit/s.
The EtherCAT as well as the CAN interface are electrically isolated.
The gateway can be configured through EtherCAT Master (XML file), via a web interface or USB
