MBS introduces two new CANopen gateways

Integration of the CAN protocol hardware adapter reduces the amount of cabling required

Krefeld, September 7, 2016 - A CAN protocol hardware adapter has been integrated into the new gateways from the Krefeld-based specialist for industrial and building automation. The device is also available as a "CAN + PROFINET gateway" in combination with a PROFINET adapter. "The integrated CAN protocol hardware adapter eliminates the need for the usual external bus couplers and reduces the amount of cabling required," explains Nils-Gunnar Fritz, CEO of MBS GmbH. "This also enables faster connection to serial or network-based communication protocols," he adds.
