The SIMATIC PN/CAN LINK connects a PROFINET network to the CAN or CANopen fieldbus, and enables the data exchange.

This gives the user the option of communicating with up to 126 CAN nodes.

The configuration is made in the TIA Portal V14 or higher. A corresponding HSP is available to the user.

In CANopen mode, external device description files (.eds files) can be imported and exported.

The SIMATIC PN/CAN LINK has an internal PROFINET switch and integrates itself seamlessly into a PROFINET network.
