I am looking to connect an Ethernet/IP barcode reader to a pre-existing CANbus network. I am just looking for help on the selection of the right gateway, as I am not sure with the selections for Can which one I need, and also for the Ethernet IP, is it master or slave that i need?
Hi @Chad-Gerrie,
Do you know if the CAN network is using CANopen, J1939, or another CAN protocol? Do you have any documentation on it?
If it’s an Ethernet/IP barcode reader it is probably a slave/adapter, but it’s best to make sure. Do you have the documentation and/or EDS file?
Hi Kyle. I talked to the customer, and turns out it is not a can network, but a devicenet. So they have a keyance Sr 2000 ethernet ip barcode scanner and need to connect it to an existing Devicenet network. So would we need ethernet ip master and devicenet slave for the gateway?
