Frequently asked questions
What communication protocols does the GCAN-PLC-400 support?
It supports CANopen (master or slave) and Modbus RTU/TCP (master or slave).
How many I/O modules can be connected to the GCAN-PLC-400?
Up to 32 GC‑series modules can be connected, providing a maximum of 32 × 8 I/O points.
What are the power supply requirements for the controller?
The controller requires a 24 VDC supply (‑15%/+20%) with an input current of 70 mA+ (total bus) up to 2.5 A and a startup current about 2.5 times the continuous current.
How is the controller mounted on a DIN rail?
It uses a self‑locking mechanism; the unit clicks into place on the rail and can be released by rotating the orange knob.
