CAN Gateways and Bridges
Key Features of the Ixxat CAN@net NT:
- Acts as a gateway between CAN and Ethernet systems
- Can function as a CAN-Ethernet-CAN bridge
- Works as a PC interface for CAN networks
- Supports both CAN and CAN FD communication
- Allows for easy CAN message exchange over Ethernet for long-distance applications
CAN-Bridges and CAN-Gateways are infrastructure components that can be used to implement a complex network structure. CAN-Bridges can connect CAN networks with different Bitrates or Modes.
The CANbridge is based on so-called Store-(Modify)-Forward principle. It receives CAN messages and forwards them to another CAN segment under consideration of possible filter or transform rules.
The CANbridge allows the extension of the maximal network length, because the sections of the CAN system are independent in relation to the bus arbitration. With the CAN-Bridges connected CAN subnetworks are independent CAN networks and have an independent real-time behavior
