£61.25
The Unitronics V100-17-CAN is a dedicated CANbus communication module designed for Unitronics Vision™ and Samba™ programmable logic controllers. This plug-in expansion module enables decentralised industrial communication networks using both CANopen and Unitronics’ proprietary UniCAN protocols, making it ideal for advanced automation and machine control applications.
Designed to provide fast and reliable fieldbus communication, the V100-17-CAN supports communication between PLCs, HMIs, remote I/O devices and third-party CANopen equipment. Its galvanically isolated CANbus interface helps ensure dependable data transmission while protecting connected devices from electrical interference.
With support for up to 127 CANopen nodes and up to 60 UniCAN controllers, the V100-17-CAN provides a scalable solution for distributed automation systems. The module is commonly used in manufacturing equipment, packaging machinery, material handling systems and industrial process control applications.
The V100-17-CAN allows engineers to create distributed control systems using industry-standard CANopen communication. The module provides efficient data exchange between controllers, remote I/O stations and automation devices, helping simplify wiring and improve system flexibility.
Its isolated communication interface and support for long network distances make it particularly suitable for industrial environments where dependable communication is critical. Depending on baud rate, network lengths can extend up to 1000 metres.
