<div class="markdown_content"><p>Hi All,</p> <p>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. </p> <p>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. </p> <p>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.</p> <p>Could anyone help with this?</p> <p>Thanks in advance!</p> <p>Best regards,<br/> John</p></div>
