Introduction

Anybus Communicator CAN PROFINET IRT (2.32) is designed to exchange data between a CAN
subnetwork and a higher level network. The CAN protocol uses individually configurable frames,
offering great flexibility. Through the configuration of CAN frames, the Anybus Communicator
CAN will adapt to a predefined CAN subnetwork. It will be possible to send data to and receive
data from the CAN subnetwork, but also to act as a relay for data on the subnetwork.
The gateway can issue frames cyclically, on change of data, or based on trigger events issued by
the control system of the higher level network. It can also monitor communication on the
subnetwork and notify the higher level network when data has changed.
Anybus Communicator gateways are configured using Anybus Configuration Manager, a family of
configuration tools that have an easy to use graphical interface and that do not require
programming skills.
Anybus Configuration Manager and additional related software and documentation are available
at www.anybus.com/support.
