General information

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 synchro

nous, event and polling are supported as well as PDO linking, life/node guarding, heartbeat, emergency objects

and much more.

• Fieldbus: CANopen

• Auto-configuration of I/O modules

• I/O configuration via the fieldbus

• Constant response times even with large amounts of data (max. 32 Rx and 32 Tx PDOs)

• Configurable I/O cycle (0.5 to 4 ms)

• Configurable transfer rate or automatic transfer rate detection

• Heartbeat consumer and producer

• Emergency producer

• 2x SDO server, NMT slave

• Simple bootup (autostart)

• Terminal access via serial interface on the X20PS9400

• Integrated terminating resistor
