Onboard CAN configurationPermalink

Supported protocols

Onboard CAN interface supports the following protocols

  • CANopen master

  • CAN 2A/2B

  • J1939

Configuration in Automation Builder is described in chapter 'CANopen'⮫ “CANopen”.

AC500-eCo V3 PLCs can be connected to a Pluto programmable safety controller by using a TA5146-CN option board. This allows to exchange non-safe information between the two systems over the CAN bus interface. How this can be configured in Automation Builder and which prerequisites must be met are described in in the ‎⮫ application example.

AC500 V3 PLCs provide the following methods for CAN integration:
