Hilscher NT50-CC-EN–CC Industrial Dual CANopen to Ethernet Protocol Conversion Gateway
The NT50-CC-EN–CC is a high-performance, dual-channel industrial protocol gateway developed by Hilscher—a global leader in industrial communication solutions. Its unique value lies in supporting two independent CANopen networks (designated as "CC" for dual CAN interfaces) and enabling bidirectional, real-time data transmission between each CANopen network and mainstream Ethernet protocols (PROFINET IO, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP/IP). As a "dual CANopen-Ethernet bridge," it solves the connectivity challenge of integrating distributed CANopen devices (e.g., servo drives, encoders, I/O modules in separate machine sections) into a unified Ethernet-based automation system (e.g., Siemens TIA Portal, Rockwell ControlLogix). This gateway is widely applied in complex industrial scenarios such as multi-axis motion control systems, modular production lines, and large-scale material handling equipment—where independent CANopen sub-networks need centralized monitoring and coordinated control via Ethernet.

Key Functions
Dual Independent CANopen ↔ Ethernet Conversion: Features two physically isolated CANopen interfaces (CAN 1/CAN 2), each supporting independent bidirectional data translation between CANopen (compliant with EN 50325-4, NMT/LSS/PDO/SDO protocols) and Ethernet protocols:
PROFINET IO: Each CANopen channel operates as a separate PROFINET IO device/controller, supporting PROFINET RT (real-time) for cyclic I/O data (latency <15ms) — ideal for synchronized motion control.
EtherNet/IP: Each channel functions as an EtherNet/IP adapter/scanner (ODVA-compliant), enabling integration with Rockwell or third-party EtherNet/IP systems.
Modbus TCP/IP: Each channel acts as a Modbus TCP client/server, supporting universal data exchange for parameter reading/writing and status monitoring. The dual-channel design ensures no cross-interference between CANopen sub-networks (e.g., one channel for robot axis drives, one for conveyor sensors).
Auto-Adaptive Baud Rates: 10 kbps to 1 Mbps (covers all standard CANopen speeds), automatically matching existing network configurations.
Multi-Node Support: Each channel can act as a CANopen master (connecting up to 127 slave devices) or slave (connecting to an external CANopen master), flexible for different network architectures.
Daisy-Chain/Star Topologies: Adapts to linear (production lines) or distributed (workcells) network layouts, reducing cable costs.
PROFINET MRP Redundancy: Complies with PROFINET Media Redundancy Protocol—ensures Ethernet network fault tolerance (e.g., cable break) with <100ms recovery time, minimizing downtime.
Dual-Channel Configuration & Diagnostics:
SYCON.net Software Support: Configured via Hilscher’s SYCON.net platform, allowing separate parameterization of each CANopen-Ethernet channel (e.g., mapping PDOs for CAN 1 to PROFINET, SDOs for CAN 2 to Modbus TCP). Supports importing EDS files for CANopen devices and GSDML files for PROFINET/EtherNet/IP, ensuring plug-and-play compatibility.
Dedicated Status Monitoring: 8 LED indicators (Power, CAN 1 Activity/Fault, CAN 2 Activity/Fault, Ethernet 1/2 Activity/Fault) for visual differentiation of each channel’s status—e.g., a red CAN 1 Fault LED indicates bus errors, while green Ethernet Activity LEDs confirm data transmission.
Fault Logging: Records channel-specific errors (e.g., CAN bus off, Ethernet link loss) in internal memory, accessible via Ethernet for remote troubleshooting and preventive maintenance.
