The Gateway allows CAN modules with CANopen (CiA DS 301) or Layer 2

(ISO 11898-1) implementations to connect with a real-time EtherCAT network.

The Gateway does not limit the number of CAN nodes.

The high-speed CAN interface is compliant with ISO 11898-2. and it supports

transfer rates from 50 kBit/s up to 1 MBit/s. The 100BASE-TX EtherCAT interface

is IEEE802.3 compatible and runs at 100 MBit/s. The CAN interface, as well as

the EtherCAT interface, is electrically isolated.

The configuration of the Gateway is accomplished through the EtherCAT master.
