Controls and Software

SCHMIDT® CAN profibus gateway

The SCHMIDT® Press Control 5000 works with the fieldbus system CANopen. In integrated systems, often data transfer with host control units must be carried out via PROFIBUS. For this purpose, SCHMIDT Technology offers a CAN / PROFIBUS gateway. It provides a data area, in which both sides can write, or from which both sides can read (on each side, 64 bit input and 64 bit output). Thus, an application-specific data exchange can be realized. The gateway behaves on both sides as a slave. The update rate of the CANopen side is 5 ms.

I/O connection

Different terminal modules are offered, if required, for the integration of analog and digital signals. The connection of these modules is achieved via CAN bus.

SCHMIDT® Interface software

The communication with coordinated control system is realized via a standardized interface program with SCHMIDT® Press Control 3000 and Press Control 5000

All relevant system states as well as “failed” productions are transferred from one control to another via a simple signal transfer.

All standard physical interfaces, such as

• I/O interface
  
• CANopen
  
• CAN-PROFIBUS

can be used for signal transfer with the automation environment.
