The Siemens 6AG2620-0AA00-4AA0 is a SIPLUS PN/CAN LINK TX RAIL communication gateway designed to connect PROFINET automation networks with CAN and CANopen fieldbus systems. Based on the SIMATIC PN/CAN LINK 6BK1620-0AA00-0AA0, it provides a practical bridge between modern Industrial Ethernet architectures and CAN-based equipment.
The gateway supports CAN 2.0A/B as well as CANopen according to CiA 301/302, with the flexibility to operate as a CANopen Manager or Slave. This makes it suitable for applications where CAN drives, sensors, controllers, I/O devices, or other field equipment must exchange information with a PROFINET-based PLC.
On the PROFINET side, two RJ45 ports and an integrated Ethernet switch simplify network integration. On the CAN side, transmission rates from 50 kbit/s to 1 Mbit/s and support for up to 126 CANopen nodes provide flexibility for distributed fieldbus architectures. Up to 16 parallel SDOs and 512 PDOs support both configuration-oriented and process-data communication.
The SIPLUS RAIL version is designed for significantly more demanding environmental conditions than conventional automation hardware. Conformal coating, an operating range of -40 °C to +70 °C, short-term operation at +85 °C, and railway-oriented environmental qualifications make the 6AG2620-0AA00-4AA0 well suited to rolling-stock, transportation infrastructure, and other harsh industrial applications.
