Allen Bradley with CANOpen

[Doug_Adam]

Hi everyone,

I am asking this question because if anyone knows an available product, it would be someone on this forum.

Are there any CANOpen cards or CANBus cards for any Allen Bradley controllers? I prefer the Micrologix range, but Compactlogix is also OK?

I know AB uses Devicenet, which is a higher level protocol based on CANBus, but I need either CANOpen, or a raw CANBus card that can have messages configured for it.

Thanks,

Doug

Thanks Adam,

I have actually used similar products to this before. Either Devicenet or Modbus TCP to CANOpen.
What I was after was if there were any PLC cards for these. Occasionally, third parties release cards for other PLCs, and I have seen things such as Profibus on AB PLCs, and even recall a third party CANOpen card for a Siemens. (Siemens also seem to have released a CANOpen card for an an S7-200 recently).

I don't hold out much hope, but if one exists, probably someone here will know.
