Do you have a project involving CAN communication, specifically "plain old CAN" rather than J1939? I have considered the Moxa Mgate 5121, which supports CANopen and J1939 but unsure about "plain CAN". Looking for suggestions on a protocol converter for ModBUS TCP compatibility.
If you're interested in industrial-grade automotive products, be sure to visit the website of PEAK, a company known for its focus on the automotive industry. Their PCAN-Ethernet Gateway DR is a high-quality product that claims to support the functions you've described. Good luck with your project!
Thank you, Alfredo, for your help. I am looking to have more control rather than just monitoring, so I aim to convert to ModBUS TCP to integrate with a PLC. While I could potentially use raw sockets with the device you recommended, it would add another layer of complexity that I would need to tackle on my own.
Patrick, it would be beneficial for you to consider using a CODESYS system that is compatible with Mobdus TCP server and EtherNet/IP adapter over Ethernet, as well as supports CAN interface. Some CODESYS PLC options based in RasPi are cost-effective and suitable for industrial use. It is rare to find a gateway that supports raw CAN and Ethernet industrial protocol together. If you come across such a product, it would be valuable to learn more about it.
The ECAN-240 Modbus to 2-port CAN Bus Gateway offers a range of key features for seamless integration. Compliant with the ISO 11898-2 standard, this hardware includes a built-in DIP-switch for easy enabling or disabling of the terminal resistor. With two CAN bus interfaces featuring 9 pin D-sub connectors and rotary switches for selecting CAN bus Baud Rates, this gateway ensures optimal connectivity. The software includes CAN bus ID filtering and a CAN bus bridge for efficient data transmission. Visit www.oksa.co.uk for more information.
This groundbreaking product offers TCP/UDP to CAN transparent communication, providing all the features you're looking for. Prior to discovering this company and product, I was unaware of its existence. I must admit, it's truly impressive.
For plain CAN, you might want to look into Anybus converters. They've got a good selection and I used their AB7318 model for a project a while ago. It converted the ModBUS TCP to CAN quite effectively. It's not specifically advertised for "plain CAN", but it worked flawlessly in my setup, so should meet your needs. However, always remember to check in with the technical support of the product for detailed protocol support.
Yes, I'm currently working on a project involving "plain old CAN". For your concern, you could consider the Anybus Communicator CAN to Modbus TCP gateway. It's a protocol converter I've used previously and can effectively create a seamless communication interface between the CANbus network and the Modbus TCP network. It's straightforward to set up and doesn't require extensive programming knowledge as well. As for the Moxa Mgate 5121, it's a solid device too, but as you mentioned, it leans more towards CANopen and J1939.
I've actually used the Anybus X-gateway for a project involving "plain CAN" to ModBus TCP conversion. It doesn't natively support J1939 but if you're only dealing with standard CAN, it's a winner due to its hassle-free scalability and robustness. However, remember to take into account any limitations in terms of the number of nodes you have in your CAN network and how frequently the data is changing, as these could potentially impact the performance.

Answer: 1. Q: I am working on a project involving plain CAN communication and seeking a protocol converter for ModBUS TCP compatibility. Can you recommend a suitable device? One option to consider is the Moxa Mgate 5121, which supports CANopen and J1939 protocols. However, for plain CAN communication, it's recommended to verify if the Mgate 5121 supports this protocol.
Answer: While the Moxa Mgate 5121 is known to support CANopen and J1939 protocols, it's advisable to verify if it also supports plain CAN communication for your specific project requirements.
Answer: It's worth exploring other protocol converters in the market to find a suitable device that supports plain CAN communication and is compatible with ModBUS TCP. Researching different options may help in finding the best fit for your project.
