I have a project using some EPEC PLC's. Some of them are programmable using Ethernet and some use CAN.
We currently have a Raspberry Pi that is acting as a gateway to the Codesys Automation Server and is successfully working for the PLC's communicating over ethernet.
I am trying to achieve a similar result for the PLC's that have only CAN access.
I have PEAKCan drivers on the Pi, and can successfully send/receive messages. But the Gateway does not recognise the PLC when scanned from the Automation server online.
Is there a library or service that exists to translate the CAN messaging, to the Edge Gateway, and be able to achieve remote access with the Automation Server? Or is this not possible without creating something custom?
Cheers,
Daniel
