• Do not touch components and assemblies on contacts. 1.6.4 Overcurrent protection Overcurrent protection isn't necessary as the PN/CAN gateway transports no load current. The power supply of the PN/CAN gateway electronics is to be secured externally with a fuse of maximum 1 A (slow-blowing). 1.6.5 EMC protection...

KG assumes no liability for any printing errors or other inaccuracies that may appear in the operating manual, unless there are serious errors of which Helmholz GmbH &...
2.1 General/area of application The PN/CAN gateway connects a CAN network into a PROFINET network. Any CAN messages in 11 bit or 29 bit format (CAN 2.0A / CAN 2.0B) can be integrated into the IO area of a PROFINET CPU.
In order to ensure safe operation, the ambient temperature must not exceed 60 °C. 3.1 Installation position The PN/CAN gateway can be installed in any position. The front plate must be accessible in order to plug in bus lines. 3.2 Minimum clearance It is recommended to adhere to the minimum clearances specified when installing devices.
4 Setup and wiring 4.1 EMC/safety/shielding The PN/CAN gateway complies with EU Directive 2004/108/EC (“Electromagnetic Compatibility”). One effective way to protect against disturbances caused by electromagnetic interference is to shield electric cables, wires, and components. When setting up the system and routing the required cables, make sure to fully comply with all standards, regulations, and rules regarding shielding.
4.2 Wiring of the PN/CAN gateway 4.2.1 Voltage supply The PN/CAN gateway is supplied with 24 V DC voltage via the 3-pin power supply plug (V+, GND, FE). 4.2.2 CAN bus connection SubD plug CAN bus CAN low CAN GND...
A CAN bus cable requires at least three wires: CAN high, CAN low, and CAN ground. Only linear bus topologies are allowed, A terminating resistor of 120 ohms must be connected between CAN high and CAN low at both ends of the CAN bus cable. The PN/CAN gateway has no installed bus terminating resistor.
6 Setup and use 6.1 Install GSDML file The GSDML file can be found on the accompanying CD or in the download area of the "PN/CAN gateway Layer 2" at www.helmholz.de. 6.2 Configuring gateway The PN/CAN gateway can be found in the hardware under "PROFINET IO Other field devices ...
Carry out a device reset for PLC stop: When the PN/CAN gateway receives the "PLC in stop" signal via PROFINET, it can carry out an internal reset in order to ensure a defined basic status for a restart of the PLC.
6.3 Adding CAN frame The PN/CAN Gateway Layer 2 can transmit and receive CAN frames with 1 to 8 bytes of data and any CAN-IDs. A module with the CAN identifier must be configured in the slots of the PN/CAN gateway for each anticipated CAN frame and each CAN frame to be transmitted.
In the case of controlled transmission, CAN frames with 0 to 8 bytes can be configured. An RTR frame can also be transmitted. PN/CAN gateway, PROFINET/CAN Layer 2 | Version 1 | 06/29/2017...
The clear identification of the PN/CAN gateway is ensured here by the MAC address of the device. The assigned name must agree with the name established in the hardware configurator (see Ch. 6.2.1). If the PN/CAN gateway has been assigned the correct PROFINET name, it is recognized by the PLC and configured.
Reset: Carrying out a user reset. After setting the bit, one must wait for the bit 6 in the status byte 0. The PN/CAN gateway is in the INIT mode following the reset. The reset bit in status control can now be reset.
The two mode status bits show the status of the PN/CAN gateway. Principally, an attempt is made to activate the status requested in the mode of the control word. However, this can be prevented by configuration errors.
The request and the acknowledge bit for the transmission of CAN frames are always toggled: Request bit ≠ Acknowledge bit Transmit frame Request bit = Acknowledge bit Frame transmitted PN/CAN gateway, PROFINET/CAN Layer 2 | Version 1 | 06/29/2017...
In contrast with the reception objects, the CAN frames for the reception channel can also have differing data lengths. The number of temporarily stored frames can be set in the parameters of the PN/CAN gateway (see ch. 6.2.1.) between 1 and 255.
3 "Receive channel FIFO: Mask and the code result in too many areas (max. 16)" will be displayed upon starting up of the PN/CAN gateway in status byte 1 of error 3 (see also Ch. 7.1.2).
(negate bit value) the bit 0 in byte 0 "Tx-Toggle", the frame is entered into the transmission FIFO in the PN/CAN gateway. The bit 0 in the input byte 0 "Tx-ACK" is also toggled by the PN/CAN gateway as a response.

PC/CAN parameters. All changes to the frame information are adopted for the next transmission point in time. "Tx-FIFO Reset" deletes the content of the Tx-FIFO entirely. Frames that have already been forwarded to the CAN controller are still transmitted. PN/CAN gateway, PROFINET/CAN Layer 2 | Version 1 | 06/29/2017...
