Configurable automotive platform (8x CAN, thereof 4x CAN FD)
The Ixxat FRC-EP190 Plus CANonly is a compact solution for automotive applications, focused on CAN applications. It has eight CAN channels, four of which are CAN FD and two of which support low-speed CAN. In addition, it offers LIN, digital I/O and analog input functions. This makes it an ideal solution for logging, gateway operations and residual bus simulation. Configuration is easily done with the Ixxat Advanced Configuration Tool (ACT).
Key points
- Reference solution for demanding network requirements — Enables easy integration of multiple bus systems in a single compact device. Essential for e-mobility projects and complex industrial applications.
- Multi-connectivity with various interfaces — Additional interfaces included: 2 x LIN, 1 x Ethernet (10/100 Base-T), 2 x analog inputs, 4 x digital I/O (in/out), USB 2.0 device and host, and an SDHC slot. Further expansion options are available.
- Enhanced data management for efficient engineering — Simplifies data management and protocol processing, optimized for automotive testing, logging and gateway operations. For easy integration and reliable performance.
- Embedded platform with its own processing power — All applications run on the device, a PC is only needed for configuration or data stimulation/visualization, as the actual intelligence is offloaded to the embedded platform.
- Overvoltage protection — Galvanic isolation protects against overvoltage and prevents potential electrical damage.
- Quick and easy configuration with ACT support — The FRC-EP series is supported by the Ixxat ACT (Advanced Configuration Tool), a Windows tool for easily configuring the device by drag and drop. Most use cases can be solved with ACT Freeware.
