Hello guys, i have a Cobot that uses Modbus, Ethernet IP and Profinet. I want to establish a communication between these two. The welding machine is of Chinses origins and of course it uses CanBus. So, my question is this, will HMS  https://www.hms-networks.com/p/ab7319-b-anybus-communicator-can-to-modbus-tcp-2-port make the trick and establish a proper communication between them?

  Sorry for the delay. Do you know if the welder is using generic CAN or CANopen? 

  The AB7319 would be the best for generic CAN, but if the welder uses CANopen and you have the EDS file, you could use the CANopen Master AB7308-B.

  You will also want to ensure that the Cobot can act as the Modbus TCP Client (not Server) as we do not have a Master-to-Master version for these gateways.

  If you need a CAN Master to Modbus or Ethernet/IP Master, you might want to consider a Red Lion Data Station.
