The HMS Industrial Networks CM CANopen module for the SIMATIC S7-1200® basic controller includes HMS CANopen master technology in a compact format fully integrated with the SIMATIC hardware form factor. The module enables SIMATIC automation solutions to be connected to CAN or CANopen based equipment making more expensive and space demanding PROFIBUS or PROFINET to CANopen gateways unnecessary. The module is supported by an optimized and highly intuitive CANopen configuration tool that enables users to quickly generate all required configuration data for the CANopen network. Thanks to the support for operation in transparent CAN 2.0A mode, system integrators have the possibility to implement any custom CAN based fieldbus protocol.
