Industrial CAN to Profibus converters for control of ECUs, motors, sensors and recording systems

CAN to PROFIBUS converter - CAN and PROFIBUS system integration for industrial applications

The CAN to PROFIBUS converter is an advanced device that allows CANbus to be integrated into networks based on the PROFIBUS protocol. It allows CAN devices such as ECUs, sensor systems, motors and recording systems to communicate seamlessly with PROFIBUS networks such as Siemens PLCs.

Why choose a CAN to PROFIBUS converter?

CANbus is a highly reliable and fault-tolerant communication protocol widely used in automotive, industrial automation and embedded systems. Thanks to its deterministic response time, it is ideal for applications requiring fast and secure data exchange between devices.

PROFIBUS, on the other hand, is a protocol used in process and production automation. Available in PROFIBUS DP (high-speed data exchange) and PROFIBUS PA (for hazardous areas) versions, it offers high transmission speeds, high scalability and support for a wide variety of devices.

Our CAN to PROFIBUS converter allows these two standards to be combined, enabling system integration and increasing the efficiency of industrial processes.

Key features of the CAN to PROFIBUS converter

Every CAN to PROFIBUS converter in our range is designed to operate in harsh industrial environments:

• Wide operating temperature range - from -40°C to 85°C (or up to 105°C in automotive versions).
• Versatile mounting options - DIN rail mounting or IP67 rated enclosures.
• Immune to electromagnetic interference - excellent performance near motors and noise-generating machinery.
• M12 connectors and standard interfaces - support for 11-bit CAN 2.0A, 29-bit CAN 2.0B, CANopen and PROFIBUS DP V0.
• Flexible power supply - from 12-35VDC or 24VAC batterypower.
• Transmission speed - from 1Mb/s on a 25m bus to 10Kb/s on a bus length of up to 5000m.

How does the CAN to PROFIBUS converter work?

The CAN to PROFIBUS converter enables a seamless data exchange between CAN bus and PROFIBUS. Depending on the model, it can operate in mode:

• CAN-Profibus slave - the master device on the PROFIBUS network communicates with the converter, e.g. a PLC.
• CAN-Profibus master - the converter manages communication with slaves on the PROFIBUS network.

The converters allow for cyclic data updates or send data in ‘on-change’ mode - only after a change in the CAN frame value. Once the device has been configured, the settings can be saved in a GSD file for quick integration into the PROFIBUS system.
