I need to log into a Codesys 3.5 PLC via CANbus (CR711S). The manufacturer is ifm Electronic GmbH. The release notes state that it is possible to do so, but a PCAN-USB adapter must be used for stable connection. It also says that the CAN client must be added to the Codesys gateway configuration as a top level interface.
I have a PCAN-USB adapter, and from what I can see in my Windows device manager, the service for the adapter is 'PEAK_USB'. I have added this as a CAN client to my gateway configuration as a top level interface.
At this point I expected to see CAN as an option when adding a gateway for communication, but instead I only have the default TCP/IP on port 1217 available.
Could anyone help with this?
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
John

Hi John,
i would expect that IFM has a good description for doing this with their PLC.
If think you need to uncomment the following lines in:
c:\ProgramData\CODESYS\CODESYSGatewayV3\18061919\Gateway.cfg
