Easily set up range-extending or bridge applications for CAN and CAN FD networks
CANnector Range and CANnector Bridge are preconfigured versions of the CANnector S device, enabling users to easily set up range-extending or bridge applications for CAN and CAN FD networks without time-consuming configuration.
Product Information
The basic range configuration of CANnector Range transmits all 6 CAN buses transparent over a longer distance via Ethernet. Two devices are required for this function (master/slave).
In addition, CANnector Range can also be used as a multiple CAN(FD) interface connected to the PC via Ethernet. This allows Ixxat VCI based or D-PDU-API applications to be connected to the field buses via a long distance. For this use case, only one CANnector Range device is required.
The CANnector Bridge can act as Bridge and Gateway. The four provided configurations initialize all 6 CAN interface with 125 kbit/s, 250 kbit/s, 500 kbit/s, or 1000 kbit/s and forward all received data as follows: CAN1 ↔ CAN2; CAN3 ↔ CAN4; CAN5 ↔ CAN6. Specific baudrate combinations can be selected easily without the need for setting up their own configuration.
The Range and Bridge functionality is executed stand-alone on the device, a PC is only needed for user-specific configurations or visualisation/stimulation of data.
Since CANnector Range/Bridge is based on the common CANnector S variant, the device functionality can easily be adapted or enhanced by using the ACT tool – providing extended range/bridge functionality or even logging.
