Model X67BC4321-10 - CAN (Controller Area Network) Systems - Brochure

Controller Area Network (CAN) is widespread in automation technology. CAN topology is based on a line structure and uses twisted wire pairs for data transfer. CANopen is a higher-layer protocol based on CAN. The standardized protocol offers very flexible configuration options. This bus controller makes it possible to connect up to 253 X2X Link I/O modules to CANopen. A transition between IP20 and IP67 protection is possible by directly connecting X20, X67 or XV modules to one another at distances of up to 100 m each across control cabinet boundaries as required. All CANopen operating modes such as synchronous, event and polling are supported as well as PDO linking, life/node guarding, heartbeat, emergency objects and much more.
