“Embedded Internet” and “Embedded Ethernet” are hot topics today. Nowadays the Ethernet protocol becomes a kind of standard for local area network. Via Internet, connectivity is occurring everywhere, from home appliances to vending machines, to testing equipment, to UPS…etc. Using Ethernet for network in industrial area is appealing because the required cabling is already installed.
The GW-7433D is a solution that provides a communication transformation between CANopen protocol and Modbus/TCP protocol. It solves a mission-critical problem: connecting an existed CANopen network with Ethernet-base master device as long as this master device supports Modbus/TCP protocol. It enables CANopen networks to be coupled together with the Internet/Ethernet, whereby remote monitoring and controlling is achieved.
