Features and benefits

Robust industrial use
Designed for industrial environments, meeting high demands for robustness, temperature ranges, and safety.

Flexibility in CAN network design
Helps to optimize CAN network structures by enabling extended layouts (stub lines, star and tree topologies).

Fast and transparent operation
Minimal impact on real-time behavior, equivalent to a short line length (ca. 60 m/300 ns delay). Enabling transparent transmission, compatible with all higher layer protocols.

Cost savings due to simple wiring
Optimized topologies enable simpler wiring, resulting in less cables and cost savings at installation and maintenance.

Enhanced network reliability
Higher system reliability by electrically isolating CAN segments and power up to 1 kV. This enhances the protection of the device against damage to electronics caused by voltage peaks.

Network monitoring and fault recovery
In case of disturbances, the repeater automatically disconnects the affected segment and restores it after the fault is resolved.

Robust fiber optic interface
Fiber optic ensures uninterrupted data transmission in high-electromagnetic disturbance zones, enabling enhanced connectivity for critical applications and high performance.

Backbone bus for simplified network expansion
To achieve tree or star topologies, multiple repeaters can be easily connected in series through the integrated backbone bus.

Integrated bus termination resistors
Integrated bus termination resistors (120 Ohm, switchable via DIP switch) prevent reflections on the line ends and ensure optimum communication.
