CAN CC and CAN FD Repeater for Decoupling Bus Segments
The PCAN-Repeater features two CAN ports with 5 kV galvanic isolation between each other and the power supply. It supports both, CAN CC and CAN FD buses, using bit rates from 14 kbit/s up to 8 Mbit/s. With its DIN rail housing and extended temperature range support, it is suitable for applications in industrial environments.
The PCAN-Repeater requires no configuration. All CAN messages and error frames are forwarded 1:1 between both ports, enhancing the quality of the CAN signals. From the perspective of the CAN bus, the repeater is transparent, just like a cable.
The PCAN-Repeater allows the galvanic isolation of two CAN bus segments and the realization of long stub lines, even with multiple CAN nodes.
Please note
Due to the CAN protocol, the maximum length of a CAN bus depends on the bit rate. Therefore, a bus cannot be extended with the PCAN-Repeater. The physical total length of the CAN bus is reduced with each built-in PCAN-Repeater according to its transit delay.
- Two High-speed CAN ports (ISO 11898-2)
- Comply with CAN specifications CAN CC (classic CAN 2.0) and CAN FD (ISO and non-ISO)
- CAN bit rates from 14 kbit/s up to 1 Mbit/s
- CAN FD bit rates for the data field (64 bytes max.) from 14 kbit/s to 8 Mbit/s
- CAN transceiver TI TCAN1044 or compatible
- Connections for CAN via 4-pin and power supply via 3-pin push-in spring terminal blocks (Phoenix)
- Galvanic isolation rated up to 5 kV according to IEC 60601-1, between both CAN ports and between CAN and power supply
- Each CAN port can be selectively terminated via switches at the housing front
