F3236

The F3236 accomplishes this by operating as both a Profibus-DP slave on a Profibus network and as a CAN node on a J1939 network. Data is exchanged from either network according to a user-defined configuration.HMS offers a free Windows-based configuration utility (BWConfig) that allows the user to map J1939 parameter (PGN) data to the module’s input and output tables, which can be accessed by the Profibus master over the Profibus-DP network. With its rugged industrial design, the device is designed for a variety of applications and industries. These include use in agriculture, construction, fire and rescue, oil and gas, mining, power generation, motor control, material handling, trucking, mass transit and marine applications. Typical uses include applications in oil and gas production, or on-board applications where the gateway is used as an interface between the J1939 network and Profibus-based industrial PLCs.

The F3236 supports up to 35 incoming J1939 Transport Protocol (Big Message) sessions and can monitor up to 120 different PGNs in an input data point configuration and transmit up to 100 different PGNs in an output data point configuration. the J1939 Transport Protocol (Big Message) handler rejects incoming session requests for PGN/address pairs not configured as input data points ( The J1939 to Profibus gateway is the newest member of the HMS Anybus gateway family, which consists of more than 180 individual versions that provide inter-network communication between virtually any fieldbus or industrial Ethernet. On the Profibus side, the gateway supports Profibus-DP slave functionality with cyclic I/O data transfer and can handle up to 244 bytes of input and 244 bytes of output data.
