Regarding Technical Issues in Anybus communicator-CAN Ethernet/IP

Hello,

We are using Anybus communicator (CAN-Ethernet AB7318-B) , and the actuator from the manufacture of Thomson . So, technically we are facing some issues in the Anybus communicator along with Codesys programming.

In the Diagnostic tab, CAN state showing error active and network state showing offline, to solve these issue what we need to do and how?

We have problem with EDS file as well, currently we are using CAN OPEN EDS file, but it doesn’t work, we need ** EDS ** file for * CAN j1939 *, is this file available in hms support could you please guide us…?

Your help and suggestion is highly appreciated,

Looking forward to

Thank you so much in advance,

Hello @vamsi ,

You might need to take a look at what protocol you are using and make sure you are setting up the CAN communicator correctly. CAN is just the standard for the bus. Then on top of that there is the protocol. Right now it looks like there is a mix of CANopen and J1939.

The CAN communicator can send CAN frames on a bus but does not “speak” a particular language. You will need to create frames that match the format for the protocol you are using. We do have an application note for J1939 but you will need to know a bit about J1939 and the device you are reading data from. The app note can be found of the Anybus Files and Documentation page.

If you are looking to do CANopen I would recommend looking into our CANopen master gateway. You will want to reach out to your distributor or sales for more info. Contact HMS about Anybus solutions
