MANUAL Documentation PDO mapping, etc.). You can find the most current version of the documentation under www.helmholz.de or scan the QR code directly. 3. Preparation of the PN/CAN gateway 3.1 Connection The PN/CAN gateway is supplied via the 3-pin connection plugs with 24 V DC voltage.
4. Plan PN/CAN gateway Following the GSDML installation, the PN/CAN gateway can be found in the hardware catalog under “Other field devices -> PROFINET IO -> Gateway -> Helmholz GmbH & Co. KG -> Helmholz PN/CAN-Gateway”. Add the “PN/CAN-Gateway CANopen” device to the project and connect it with your PROFINET network.
The other “PN/CAN CO” slot entries contain no parameters. 6. Add CANopen device A “CANopen device” is a CANopen slave participant. An entry must be created for each CANopen slave. Quick Start Guide PN/CAN gateway CANopen®...
It is also possible to define a device-specific COB-ID (PDO number must then be ’0’). In this case it is presumed that all PDO settings have already been set in the CAN device. The PN/CAN gateway will then not alter the PDO settings when starting up.
PLC. In order that the PN/CAN gateway can be found by the PROFINET controller, the PROFINET device name must be assigned to the PN/CAN gateway. To this purpose, use the function “Assign device name”, which you can access in the Online menu with the right mouse button when the PN/CAN gateway is activated.
No handling blocks for simple operation are required in the PLC. The control and status query of the PN/CAN gateway can be carried out directly via the I/O area. The value 2 must be written into the output word in “Master Control” for the start-up of the example project (“NMT-State Control”).

Only one SDO job can be carried out at a time. Both the reading and writing of SDOs is possible. Details on the programming of the SDO communication channel of the PN/CAN gateway can be found in the manual. 10.6 Emergency messages Emergency messages from the slaves are always received by the PN/CAN gateway and forwarded to the PLC.
