HMS Technology Center
Ravensburg – Development
center for HMS products withfocus on the Ixxat brand.

Pioneering
CAN technology
For more than 30 years, HMS has
been a leading and reliable provider ofsolutions for industrial communication
under the brands Ixxat, Anybus andEwon.
With the availability of the first CAN
chip in 1988, engineers from HMS implemented CAN-based system solutions
and developed analysis tools, interfaces, infrastructure components andCAN-based higher protocols. Under the
Ixxat brand, cutting-edge system concepts and system solutions have been
implemented in numerous customer-specific development projects forrenowned national and international
companies.

As a founding member of CAN-in-Automation, HMS is involved in all important committees of CiA and play a leading role in the continuous developmentof the CANopen standard.

As a reliable partner, we design our

Ixxat PC/CAN interfaces enable applications to access CAN
networks with a unique variety of different PC interface standards. Just select the interface that suits your application,
performance requirements or required cost.

Versions
and interfaces
Ixxat CAN interfaces are modularly
designed and can be equipped with up
to four CAN high-speed channels. They
can also be used within automotive
applications with CAN low-speed and
LIN channels. For fast networks, the CAN
interfaces are also available with up to

Driver packages
with common
application interface
All the different PC/CAN interfaces
can be operated with the hardwareindependent drivers for Windows(VCI) and real-time operating systems(ECI) by using a uniform programming
interface.
Switching between PC/CAN interfaces
is very easy and can be done withoutchanges to the application. Thanks
to this, users can benefit from futuretechnologies very quickly.

Linux, SocketCAN, INtime,
RTX and VxWorks

Windows

For use of CAN interfaces with Linuxand in real-time environments, HMSprovides the universal “Embedded
Communication Interface” driver (ECI)
free of charge. The application interface is designed as a “ANSI-C” interface
and contains all necessary functions. In
addition, a SocketCAN driver enables
the use with standard Linux CAN tools.

The “Virtual Communication Interface”(VCI) is designed as a system server andallows simultaneous access by several
applications to one or more CAN controllers of one or more PC interfaces.
Moving all important functions to thekernel optimizes the real-time capability of the VCI driver substantially. For
simple testing purposes and start-up
the free canAnalyser Mini is included.

CANopen & SAE J1939 APIs
For use of CAN interfaces under CANopen and J1939, HMS offers driver
APIs that provide all protocol-specificfunctions.

Repeaters, Bridges and Gateways
for CAN and CAN FDCAN Repeaters

Highlights

CAN repeaters are used to establish
a physical coupling of two or moresegments of a CAN bus system. They
can be used to implement tree or star
topologies as well as for long droplines. Systems connected by repeaters
are independent electrical segmentsthat can be optimally terminatedin terms of signals. In addition,
network segments can be electricallydecoupled using a galvanically isolated
repeater.

CAN Bridges andGateways

Highlights
Cost savings thanks to simplified wiring

The use of bridges and gateways opens up a large number ofconfiguration possibilities. For example, CAN systems can be
implemented over a larger area, devices without CAN interfaces can be connected to CAN systems or CAN systems canbe coupled using different technologies, such as Bluetooth or
Ethernet.

Allows larger system expansion

principle where CAN messages arereceived by a sub-network and thentransmitted to the other sub-network.
Translation and filter rules can also beused, allowing a protocol adaptation
to be carried out between the sub-networks. This includes segmentation ofa CAN FD message into several CAN
messages and vice versa.  Higher layer
protocols, such as CANopen and J1939,
are also transmitted transparently.

CAN bridges are good for creating
hierarchical networks by transferring
only the information to the connected
sub-networks via bridges which are
relevant to the sub-network. The
bridge function can also be executedwith the aid of other transmission
systems. For example, the CAN-Ethernet-CAN bridge is set-up by two
CAN-Ethernet gateways which enable
connection to remote CAN networks.

With the CAN@net NT 420 this bridge
can be extended to a mesh with four
devices connecting up to 16 CAN / CAN
FD networks.
As an extension to the CAN bridges,
CAN gateways allow access to CAN
networks via other communication
systems. In each case, the protocols of
the connected bus systems are mapped
to the other communication model.

For Master/Slave versions,the configuration of the Master side iscarried out with an appropriate masterconfiguration program.

The X-gateways are designed for use
in harsh industrial environments.
Mounted on DIN rail, they feature IP20
protection and require a 24 V DC power
supply. X-gateways are intelligent standalone devices, which are operated without fans and are designed for industrial
operating temperatures. No moving
parts are used inside the gateways.

Anybus X-gateway
CANopen
The X-gateway CANopen family
enables coupling of CANopen networks
with all major fieldbus and Ethernet
networks.
These gateways work as a CANopen
Manager/Master and transparently
transmit I/O data between CANopen
and the connected fieldbus or Industrial Ethernet network.

Configuration
The easy-to-use Windows based configuration tool “Anybus Configuration
Manager CANopen” is part of the delivery scope. In addition, the gateway canbe configured via its CANopen masterinterface with any standard CANopen
configuration tool.

CAN products from HMS
under the Anybus brandProtocol Converter
Anybus Communicator connects your automation
devices with fieldbuses and Industrial Ethernet

Highlights
No hardware or softwarechanges are required forthe connected automation device
Available for all major
fieldbuses and Industrial
Ethernet networks
Compatible with allleading PLCs
Simple configuration
using the Anybus Configuration Manager – noprogramming required!

Anybus Communicator connects devices with serial or CAN
based interfaces to CANopen, DeviceNet or any other fieldbus
and industrial Ethernet network.

Anybus Communicatorwith serial interface
The serial version of Anybus Communicator supports device connection via
RS-232, RS-422, RS-485 and Modbus
RTU, enabling it to act as an externalinterface to industrial networks for alarge number of serial devices – e.g. fordrives, sensors, HMIs, barcode readers
and RFID readers.
The Communicator is able to convert
almost any standard or custom (proprietary) protocol. All protocol adaptations are done through configuration,no hardware or software changes are
required for connected devices.

Reusable configurationsave time and money

The configuration of the communicator is made with thefree and easy-to-use Windows-based configuration software “Anybus Configuration Manager“. With the Anybus
Configuration Manager almost every serial protocol canbe configured, for example Master/Slave protocols such as
Modbus or Consumer/Producer protocols such as CAN.

Communicator configurations can be saved and restored
at any time. So if you, for example, have to switch fromPROFIBUS to PROFINET, you can easily load an existing
device configuration file done for e.g. PROFIBUS into a
PROFINET Communicator.

Anybus Communicator
CAN

Supports CAN 2.0A
and CAN 2.0B

The Anybus Communicator CAN operates on the same principle as the Anybus Communicator, the only differenceis that the connection to your device ismade by using CAN.

The Anybus Communicator CAN is
suitable for all devices that support
CAN 2.0A or CAN 2.0B. The protocol
converter converts almost any CANbased Produce/Consume and Request/
Response protocol.

It also acts as a protocol converter andconverts data between the coupled
CAN device and the connected industrial network.

Configuration
The CAN frames and their conversion
to the respective fieldbus or Ethernet
network can be configured by using the
Anybus Configuration Manager, whichis included in the scope of delivery.
