CANnector
CANnector is a DIN rail mountable platform with many different communication interfaces. It is ideal for applications in which several bus systems are to be merged into a single device with its own processing power – e.g. for logging or gateway applications.
All applications run on the device, a PC is only needed for configuration or stimulation/visualization of data, as the actual intelligence – for e.g. the transport protocols – is outsourced to the embedded platform.
HMS provides with Ixxat ACT (Advanced Configuration Tool) an easy to use Windows-based tool enabling customers to configure the device via drag-&-drop. Most use-cases can be solved by using ACT Freeware (free of charge).
Highlights
- DIN rail mountable
- Industrial Ethernet support (like EtherCAT)
- Up to 8 CAN channels (4 CAN FD capable) in one device
- CAN listen only (CAN RX) for data logging use-cases
- Only a few µs delay of frames in classical gateway applications
- Switch-on CAN (self switch on in case of any CAN communication or a defined message)
- Up to 4 kV galvanic isolation
- Compatible to the Ixxat CAN@net Generic Ethernet protocol and CAN@net NT protocol
