Hello,

I have come across as requirement where I use Facon PLC in our Machines. Our client requires to communicate to the PLC using CAN Open protocol where the Facon PLC supports only MODBUS or ASCII.

What option is possible in this case ? Any standard protocol converters available ??

I am using the Gateway-300 from Renu. It is a great device for the money. I am using it to send J1939 Engine data to an HMI via Modbus. It also supports CANOpen to Modbus.

Here is another solution not as cheap. http://www.factorycomm.com/coconverters.html

Good Luck.
