The Pilz PMCPRIMO DRIVEP. CAN-PROFI-ADAPTER 01-24 – 680041 is a specialised protocol adapter designed to support smooth and efficient communication between CANopen-based devices and PROFIBUS networks within Pilz motion control systems. As part of the PMCprimo DriveP series, this adapter plays a key role in ensuring that different communication standards can coexist seamlessly, enhancing flexibility and interoperability in complex automation environments.

At its core, the adapter functions as a bridge between CANopen and PROFIBUS protocols, allowing drive systems and controllers to exchange data efficiently across networks. This enables operators and engineers to integrate CANopen-compatible drives into larger PROFIBUS-based automation infrastructures, avoiding costly system overhauls while maximising reuse of existing equipment.

The adapter is compact and lightweight, with a net weight of 110 g (130 g gross), making it easy to install in space-limited control cabinets or distributed automation panels. Its small form factor ensures minimal footprint while delivering essential functionality for motion control integration.

Designed for industrial reliability, the PMCPRIMO CAN-PROFI adapter operates within an ambient temperature range of 0 °C to +40 °C, making it well suited for use in standard production environments. Its robust build ensures consistent performance during continuous operation, reducing risks of downtime due to communication errors.

In terms of compliance, the device is classified under WEEE category 5 (devices with feed size < 50 cm), ensuring adherence to European recycling and disposal regulations. It is also REACh compliant, with full disclosure of substances of very high concern (SVHC), supporting sustainable and transparent supply chain practices.

By enabling communication between different fieldbus systems, the adapter significantly increases the flexibility of automation solutions. This makes it particularly valuable in industries where hybrid networks are common, such as packaging, automotive production, materials handling, and process automation. It ensures that Pilz drive and motion control systems can integrate seamlessly into a wide variety of plant architectures.

Installation and setup are straightforward, allowing engineers to configure systems quickly and reliably. Once in place, the adapter provides stable, real-time data exchange, ensuring that both motion control and safety-related processes can be coordinated without compromise.

In summary, the Pilz PMCPRIMO DRIVEP. CAN-PROFI-ADAPTER 01-24 – 680041 is a compact, efficient, and reliable communication adapter that bridges CANopen and PROFIBUS networks within Pilz motion control systems. With its lightweight design, industrial reliability, and compliance with international regulations, it delivers an essential solution for enhancing interoperability, flexibility, and efficiency in automated environments.
