As the master, it supports gateway network management, SYNC telegrams, and node guarding / heartbeat for monitoring the participants.
On the PROFINET network, the PN/CAN gateway is a PROFINET IO device that supports transfer rates up to 100 Mbps full duplex, and on the CAN bus up to 1 Mbps is supported.
The IO data (PDOs) of the CANopen® participants is transparently displayed in a freely configurable manner in the PROFINET network and can be processed directly in the PLC.
The PN/CAN gateway is integrated with a GSDML file in the hardware configurator and can be completely configured there. 
Other software tools for parameterization or handling blocks for programming are not required.
Parameterization of the CANopen® participants using SDO telegrams and management of emergency messages is also possible.
Device variants with CAN Layer 2 and CANopen® Slave are in development.
