Anybus Communicator CAN is designed to exchange data between a subnetwork, running CAN, and a higher level network ( Fieldbus/Ethernet).

Through the configuration of the CAN frames, the Communicator will adapt to a predefined CAN network. It will be possible to send and receive data from the subnetwork, but also to act as a relay for data on the CAN subnetwork.
