Is it possible to somehow use 6ES7 137-6EA00-0BA0 (CAN Module) with simatic AX.

I’m currently trying to migrate my project from TIA Portal to SIMATIC AX. While doing this, I noticed that a specific hardware module (6ES7 137-6EA00-0BA0) is not available or supported in the AX hardware catalog. Because of that, I assume it’s not possible to generate a corresponding .hwl file for this module in AX.My main requirement is CAN Transparent communication. Although I can see some CANopen-related modules in the AX catalog, they are not relevant to my use case.Based on this, it seems that using SIMATIC AX as a complete end-to-end solution (hardware + software) may not be feasible in my case. As an alternative, I’m considering configuring the hardware in TIA Portal and handling the software development in AX.This leads to my main question:For the CAN module 6ES7 137-6EA00-0BA0 (ET200SP CAN), I can configure everything in TIA Portal (e.g., setting it to CAN Transparent mode, defining send/receive messages, which generates the required tags and data blocks).However, in TIA Portal, Siemens provides the ET200SPCM_CANConfig function block as part of a library, which uses the generated hardware configuration DB. (while for the message bytes which are represented in terms of tags is something I can just use them in AX)So how can I achieve the same in SIMATIC AX?Where can I find or how can I use the equivalent of the ET200SPCM_CANConfig block in AX?How do I link or use the hardware configuration (DB generated in TIA Portal) within AX?
