Hilscher NT50-CO-RS Industrial Protocol Conversion Gateway

Hilscher NT50-CO-RS Industrial Protocol Conversion Gateway

The NT50-CO-RS is a specialized industrial protocol conversion gateway developed by Hilscher, a leading provider of industrial communication solutions. It enables seamless bidirectional data exchange between CANopen networks (a widely adopted fieldbus in motion control, robotics, and machinery automation) and serial communication systems (RS-232/RS-422/RS-485). Acting as a critical "protocol translator," it bridges the gap between legacy serial-equipped devices (e.g., sensors, meters, legacy controllers) and modern CANopen-based automation architectures. This gateway is widely applied in industrial scenarios such as factory retrofits, robotic workcells, packaging machinery, and material handling systems—where interoperability between CANopen and serial devices is essential for unified control.

Key Functions

  • CANopen to Serial Protocol Conversion:
    Facilitates real-time bidirectional data translation between CANopen (compliant with EN 50325-4, supporting NMT, LSS, PDO, SDO protocols) and serial communication standards (RS-232, RS-422, RS-485). Supports popular serial protocols including Modbus RTU and ASCII, with configurable data mapping to align with specific application requirements. Transmission latency is <20ms, ensuring responsiveness in time-sensitive control tasks.
  • Multi-Serial Interface Support:
    Equipped with versatile serial ports to connect diverse devices:
    • 1x RS-232 port (DB9 connector): Supports data rates up to 115.2 kbps, suitable for short-distance (up to 15m) point-to-point communication with devices like HMIs, barcode scanners, or legacy controllers.

    • 1x Combined RS-422/RS-485 port (terminal block): Supports data rates up to 115.2 kbps, enabling multi-drop networks (up to 32 devices) over longer distances (up to 1200m for RS-485) for connecting sensors, meters, valves, or remote I/O modules.

  • CANopen Interface Capabilities:
    Integrates a standard CANopen interface (D-Sub 9-pin connector, optically isolated) with:
    • Auto-adaptive baud rates: 10 kbps to 1 Mbps (covers all common CANopen network speeds).

    • Support for up to 127 CANopen nodes (when operating as a CANopen master) or direct connection to a CANopen master (when operating as a slave).

    • Built-in LSS (Layer Setting Services) for easy node configuration (e.g., setting node IDs, baud rates) without physical dip switches.

  • Configuration & Diagnostics:
    Configurable via Hilscher’s SYCON.net software, allowing users to:
    • Map CANopen PDO/SDO data to serial protocol frames and vice versa.

    • Import EDS (Electronic Data Sheet) files for CANopen devices to ensure plug-and-play compatibility.

    • Perform diagnostics via LED indicators (power, CANopen activity, serial communication, faults) and log error data for quick troubleshooting.

  • Power & Protection Mechanisms:
    Features 24V DC ±6V power input (Mini-Combicon connector) with reverse polarity protection, supporting typical current consumption of 80mA. Over-voltage and over-current protection safeguard the gateway and connected equipment from electrical faults.

Compatibility

  • Supported Protocols:
    • CANopen (compliant with EN 50325-4, NMT, LSS, PDO, SDO).

    • Serial: RS-232, RS-422, RS-485 (Modbus RTU, ASCII).

  • Compatible Devices:
    • CANopen equipment: Servo drives, encoders, I/O modules, robotic arms (e.g., Bosch Rexroth, Beckhoff CANopen products).

    • Serial devices: RS-232/RS-485 sensors, meters, barcode readers, legacy PLCs, and HMIs.

  • Incompatibility:
    Not designed for Ethernet-based protocols (e.g., PROFINET, EtherNet/IP) or other fieldbuses (e.g., PROFIBUS DP, DeviceNet) without additional hardware. Does not support CAN FD (only standard CAN 2.0A/B).
