Media converter with CANbus protocol

The CANbus protocol, also called Controller Area Network, is a serial communication protocol. It is based on a master-slave concept in which a central control device, the CANbus master, controls communication with the connected slave devices. Data is sent over the bus in the form of message packets containing a unique identifier, data fields and control information. The advantage: CANbus offers efficient communication between different devices such as controllers, sensors, actuators and other components in real time. Thanks to integrated error detection and error correction mechanisms, CANbus is characterized by high robustness and reliability. Therefore, the protocol is widely used in many applications, especially in industrial automation

Integration of CANbus in industrial networks:
Industrial media converters as key components

In industrial environments, diverse communication protocols are essential. CANbus is characterized by its robustness and reliability, while Ethernet is a widely used and powerful network technology. Industrial media converters ensure the seamless integration of these different protocols. They act as intermediaries by converting CAN signals into Ethernet-friendly data formats. This transformation enables smooth communication between CAN devices and Ethernet networks.

Robust data transmission: Galvanic isolation and EMC protection

Industrial environments place high demands on data transmission. Electromagnetic interference and harsh conditions can affect communication. Media converters therefore offer galvanic isolation, which provides electromagnetic isolation between different signal paths. This minimizes the risk of voltage surges and electromagnetic interference. In addition, they provide increased EMC protection to ensure signal integrity. These technical features are crucial to ensure the reliability of data transmission between CAN devices and Ethernet networks.

CAN to Ethernet conversion:
Fast data conversion between CAN and Ethernet

Converting CAN signals to Ethernet formats enables seamless interaction between these two protocols. Industrial media converters play a crucial role here by performing the necessary protocol transformations. CAN signals are converted into Ethernet packets while maintaining signal integrity and speed. This allows CAN devices to communicate smoothly with Ethernet networks without the need for costly conversions or reconfigurations.

Optimized communication in harsh environments

In demanding industrial environments, reliable communication and noise immunity are essential. Industrial media converters provide highly stable EMC performance and robust data transmission. Galvanic isolation and insulation ensure signal integrity, even in environments with electrical interference. The ability to connect CAN devices via Ethernet opens up new avenues for communication and integration in Ethernet networks. This helps to increase efficiency and save costs in industrial networks.
