The gateway enables a Profibus-DP Master to read and write J1939
network data for control and monitoring tasks. The gateway accomplishes
this by operating simultaneously as a Profibus-DP Slave on a Profibus
network and as a CAN node on a J1939 network. The gateway exchanges
data from either network based on a user-defined configuration. A free
Windows-based configuration tool allows the user to map J1939 parameter
(PGN) data into the module’s input and output tables, accessible by the
Profibus Master over the Profibus-DP network. With its rugged
industrial design, the device is designed for use across a wide variety
of applications and industries. Typical uses include applications in
oil and gas production, or on-vehicle applications where the gateway is
used as an interface between the J1939 network and Profibus based
industrial PLCs. HMS Industrial Networks Inc.www.anybus.com312.829.0601
