Supports devices with CAN interfaces (including CAN2.0A and CAN2.0B) to connect to the PROFIBUS DP bus; effectively converting CAN bus network devices into PROFIBUS DP bus network devices. The PROFIBUS DP interface of the GT200-DP-CA functions as a slave. It supports CAN parameter configuration through both software and DP parameter configuration methods.

(depending on the limitations of different DP masters). (3) Used for parameter configuration in GSD V5.1 mode. [4] Supports DPV0 Protocol. [5] GT200-DP-CA can buffer at most 200 CAN frame numbers. [6] CAN-Side Function Description: ① Supports CAN2.0A/2.0B formats. ② Supports CAN ID filtering (only in DP parameter configuration mode).

2.4 Button The configuration button on the panel can set the PROFIBUS DP slave address. 1. In normal working condition of GT200-DP-CA, LED is always on and displaying the current PROFIBUS DP address. 2. Quickly press (double-click) the button twice in succession, the high bit starts to flash, and the low bit is always on, click the button to add 1 to start setting the high bit of PROFIBUS DP address.

PROFIBUS DP/CAN Gateway User Manual 4 Quick Start Guide The following steps can quickly help you apply the GT200-DP-CA: 1.Hardware Connection: (1) As described in Section 3.4, correctly connect the power supply, ensuring it is a 24V DC power source.
Page 14
2. Follow the instructions in Chapter 2 for the PROFIBUS DP port to correctly connect the 3rd, 5th, and 8th pins. 3. After correctly configuring the GT200-DP-CA according to Chapter 5, power it on to enter the operating state. 5.2 Software Configuration SST-PCA-CFG is a configuration software based on Windows platform, used to configure GT200-DP-CA V5.0...

5.3 Data Exchange way of 16-byte mode(recommend) GT200-DP-CA reads only 1 frame of CAN data each time, as follows, details how 16 bytes are encapsulated in a CAN frame.
Page 16
If GT200-DP-CA has received new CAN frames from CAN network, the sequence number of input frame adds 1, user can decide whether to use these CAN frames according to requirements. If sending one CAN frame, the sequence number is 10, use data frame of 2.0A working mode, ID=0x123, data is 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08.
Page 17
GT200-DP-CA PROFIBUS DP/CAN Gateway User Manual Note: The default initial value of single sending is 0, so the relevant byte is 0. ID=0x123, the last bit aligns, the front omitting bits are replaced by 0, so the relevant binary form is 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0001 0010 0011, that is 0x00 0x00 0x01 0x23 5.4 Data exchange way of 15-byte mode...

GT200-DP-CA PROFIBUS DP/CAN Gateway User Manual Protocol: CAN 2.0A/B, no need to set, corresponding to two GSD files, PCANV51A for CAN 2.0A, and PCANV51B for CAN 2.0B. CAN Baud Rate: 1M, 500K, 250K, 125K, 100K, 62.5K, 31.25K, 20K, 10K. Send Cycle for Sending Frame: In milliseconds (ms), range (0-60000ms), default value is 0, 0 means change-driven output, non-zero values indicate periodic sending of CAN frames.

5.6 Step 7 Read and Write Data to Gateway GT200-DP-CA data consistency at the side of PROFIBUS uses “Total length” mode, so sending and receiving must apply packed way in Step 7 programming. Sending and receiving by packed mode mainly use SFC15 (packed sending) and SFC14 (packed receiving).

Figure 10 Operation is divided into two steps, the first step is dragging GT200-DP-CA into the network configuration on the upper left, the mouse will change shape, and that is to say it can be placed. The second step is dragging data block into the data mapping table at the bottom left, the table will change to green, and that is to say it can be placed, mapping relevant bytes to the PLC memory.
