A PC with a serial port can be connected to the CAN bus using the CAN-GW100/RS232. There are two modes available for use in CAN and CANopen networks.

In the CAN mode (layer 2) the received CAN data is transmitted transparently to the RS232 interface. Data sent by means of RS232 is packed in CAN telegrams and transmitted. One configurable identifier is available for each transmission and reception.

In the CANopen mode the CAN-GW100/RS232 works as a CANopen subscriber where the serial data is saved as a byte stream object in the manufacturer-specific object dictionary range.

Supported CANopen features are:

• 1 server SDO expedited, non-expedited, no CRC check
• 1TX PDO static mapping
• RX PDO static mapping
• Emergency message
• Heartbeat producer
• NMT slave

The communication interfaces and modes are configured with a configuration file which is saved on the device with an upload program.
