Description
Product Overview
The KONGSBERG CAN2DP is a communication interface used to connect CAN-based equipment with PROFIBUS-DP networks in industrial automation systems. Its primary purpose is protocol bridging, allowing data exchanged through a CAN bus to be transferred into a PROFIBUS-DP control architecture. This type of interface is useful where existing CAN-enabled devices must communicate with a PLC, controller, or supervisory automation system operating on PROFIBUS-DP.
The module is particularly relevant to legacy marine, offshore, and industrial automation installations where different fieldbus technologies need to coexist. Rather than replacing an entire network infrastructure, a dedicated gateway can provide a practical interface between established equipment and the plant control network. Personally, I would verify the CAN baud rate, PROFIBUS-DP configuration, node addressing, connector arrangement, and system software compatibility before installing a replacement.

KONGSBERG CAN2DP
Key Features and Benefits — CAN2DP
- Provides communication between CAN-based devices and PROFIBUS-DP systems.
- Allows different fieldbus architectures to operate within the same automation environment.
- Suitable for legacy Kongsberg control and automation installations.
- Helps retain existing CAN-based field equipment when the supervisory network uses PROFIBUS-DP.
- Supports system integration without requiring wholesale replacement of established field devices.
- Useful as a dedicated MRO spare for installations using the corresponding Kongsberg communication architecture.

Installation and Maintenance — CAN2DP
Before installation, confirm the CAN network configuration, baud rate, node identification, PROFIBUS-DP address, GSD/configuration requirements, and wiring arrangement. Verify that the replacement has the same hardware revision and connector configuration as the original unit.
After installation, check power supply conditions and network termination before commissioning. Confirm CAN communication, PROFIBUS-DP diagnostics, data mapping, and controller communication. Record configuration parameters and module identification details as part of the maintenance documentation.
Product Warranty — CAN2DP
Warranty terms depend on the supplier and the condition of the unit. For new, refurbished, or repaired inventory, confirm the warranty period, test status, serial-number traceability, and return conditions before purchase. For critical control applications, a communication test report is recommended.
The KONGSBERG CAN2DP is most useful where CAN field equipment must communicate with a PROFIBUS-DP-based control system. Correct network configuration and hardware compatibility should be confirmed before replacement.
