Hi, I have a 1200 series Siemens PLC connected to a Anybus Profinet to CANbus converter in turn the CANbus network is connected to a proportional hydraulic valve controller capable of controlling upto 4 valves.
I have not worked with CANbus before and Im finding it very confusing. Basicly I need to proportionally control the hydraulic valves via the PLC. I have no idea with regardas to the output signal I have to send from my PLC, I can add output bytes of varying sizes to my Anybus converter in STEP 7 hardware config but dont really know where im going with this, any help would be great.
