ESD EtherCAN/2-S7 I/O Controller - Industrial Ethernet/UDP Gateway, incl. S7-example project with function modules to interface a S7-300/400 Simple Type: I/O Controller

The EtherCAN/2 is a gateway to transmit data between CAN and Ethernet. The module is designed for hat-rail mounting in a control enclosure as a backward compatible replacement for the EtherCAN gateway (C.2050.02). The gateway has a build-in HTTP server which allows Web based configuration and maintenance. Diagnostic events and messages during runtime can be optionally indicated using the syslog protocol or by sending an email. The gateway firmware can also be updated via the Web interface Drivers for Windows and Linux are available which integrate the CAN gateway as a virtual CAN device on the host, programmed via the common NTCAN-API available for all esd CAN adapter. This allows using all applications, CAN protocol stacks (CANopen, J1939, etc.) and tools (CAN SDK, CANreal, etc.) available for the host platform. In addition the gateway supports the UDP based disclosed and documented Ethernet Low Level Socket Interface (ELLSI) protocol for host platforms which are currently not covered with a dedicated driver.
