CODESYS Example: RevPiConCAN

Introduction​

This tutorial demonstrates how to run a CANopen Master on a RevPi Connect with a RevPi Con CAN module and exchange data with KUNBUS Gateways CANopen and Modbus RTU.

Prerequisites​

Hardware Requirements​

  • 1 RevPi Connect
  • 1 RevPi ConCAN

Software Requirements​

  • CODESYS Development System installed on your PC

Preparation​

Hardware Setup:​

  • The RS485 interface of the RevPi Connect is connected to the Modbus RTU Gateway.
  • The Con CAN interface of the RevPi Connect is connected to the CANopen Gateway.
  • Both Gateways are connected via piBridge.

Tipp: For detailed instructions about how to set up your system, refer to the Getting Started guide.

Software Setup:​

Overview​

The example runs:

  1. A CANopen Master and a Modbus RTU Master on a RevPi Connect.
  2. KUNBUS CANopen Gateway as a CANopen Slave.
  3. KUNBUS Modbus RTU Gateway as a Modbus RTU Slave.
  4. A byte of data is exchanged between the CANopen and Modbus RTU networks.
  5. The application logic increments the value by 1 in each application cycle.

The following figure shows the CODESYS device tree overview of the example.
