Product details
GCAN-GT-41X is a programmable bus gateway/converter. This device integrates 1/2 CAN bus interfaces, 1 Ethernet bus interface, 1 RS485 bus interface, and 1 RS232 bus interface. Before actual use, users need to write an application program for the device through openPCS software to achieve data conversion between different bus interfaces.

GCAN-GT-41X can be programmed using OpenPCS software, which supports five standard PLC programming languages that comply with the IEC-61131-3 standard, such as SFC (Sequential Function Diagram), LD (Ladder Diagram), FBD (Function Block), ST (Structured Text), IL (Instruction List). This makes the program highly portable and reusable, and the software also has multiple debugging functions (such as power-off, single step, monitoring, etc.), making debugging programs more convenient.


Case 1:
Customer Requirement Description:
Customer Requirement Description:
The company needs to upgrade the control system of new energy vehicles, replacing VCU with PLC to control and detect various distributed IO and sensor components, and ultimately achieve human-machine interaction through touch screen. There is a requirement in this project to control the opening and closing of 7 solenoid valves through parameters uploaded by BMS (Battery Management System). But the PLC used for data processing does not have a CAN interface, so they approached our company for help. After understanding its situation, we recommend a programmable gateway solution to it!
Customized content description:
Customized content description:
The programmable gateway has CAN interface, 232&485 interface, and Ethernet interface. This programmable gateway can be connected on one end to BMS and on the other end to PLC, and then independently write the communication protocol between BMS and PLC, directly converting the CAN bus into an interface that PLC can recognize. The advantages of this solution are that the programmable gateway is small in size, high in adaptability, and its functions can be changed with the programming of the application.
Case 2:
Customer Requirement Description:
It is necessary to convert the data transmitted from the VCU of the entire vehicle into a canopen connection to the ABB frequency converter.
Customized content description:
Customized content description:
Extract the effective part of the VCU communication protocol and convert it into the canopen protocol to control the operation of the frequency converter.
Case Three:
Customer Requirement Description:
Convert the 1939 protocol transmitted by VCU into the canopen master protocol for control.
Convert the 1939 protocol transmitted by VCU into the canopen master protocol for control.
Customized content description:
Using GCAN-GT-412 module (dual CAN ports), call J1939 and CANopen main station function blocks respectively. Then, by intercepting the required J1939 messages from the VCU and mapping them to the SDO issued by the CANopen master station, control can be achieved for other CANopen slave modules.
Case Four:
Case Four:
Customer Requirement Description:
The excavator bus data is connected to the touch screen for display
Case 5:
Customized content description:
The various parameter signals in the excavator are uploaded to the conversion gateway through the CAN bus for protocol parsing, and then the CAN protocol is converted into the Modbus protocol and finally connected to the external display screen of the excavator for various alarm displays.
Case 5:
Customer Requirement Description:
I want to use Siemens PLC to control servo motors
Customized content description:
The Modbus master station protocol used through the Ethernet interface of Siemens PLC is converted into a Canopen master station (DS401 protocol) through a gateway to control the operation of two motors. This module integrates Modbus and Canopen protocol stacks internally, with the function of converting Modbus TCP slave stations to Canopen master stations, and then controlling servo motors with communication protocol DS402.
