Introduction
The UNIGATE CANopen®-ProfibusDP module serves as a coupling between a CANopen® bus
system and ProfibusDP to EN 50 170. In this application, it functions as a gateway and on the
ProfibusDP-side it operates as slave and on the CANopen®-side it operates as master
Through a mapping that can be configured, the user is in the position to prescribe how CANo-
pen® data are to be imaged in the Profibus and also the other way round.
The module essentially consists of the following hardware components:
•
Electrically isolated interface to the ProfibusDP and to CANopen®
•
Profibus ASIC
•
CAN-Controller SJA 1000
•
Microprocessor 89C51RD2
•
RAM and EPROM
•
Serial port (RS232) for a configuration via PC
