CAN Ethernet gateway, bridge and PC interface
The Ixxat CAN@net NT 100 is a multifunctional gateway, connecting CAN networks via Ethernet for remote access and increased reliability. It has one CAN channel and supports long-distance communication, with multiple message processing and cloud connectivity features. For more efficient network management.
Key points
- Three operating modes in a single device — The Ixxat CAN@net NT can be used as a PC interface, as a CAN-Ethernet-CAN bridge, or as a CAN Ethernet gateway – all in a single device.
- PC operating mode with VCI driver support — The Ixxat VCI driver package enables easy integration into Ixxat PC applications and customer-specific programs. Ideal for configuration, analysis and maintenance.
- Bridge mode enables CAN system expansion — Bridge mode enables easy exchange of messages between CAN systems, including over Ethernet – to set up tree or star topologies or to enable long-distance communication.
- CAN Ethernet gateway for flexible access — In gateway mode, the device is accessible regardless of operating system or platform, via a simple ASCII protocol over a TCP/IP socket.
- Savings through simplified cabling — Optimized topologies allow simpler cabling, reducing the number of cables and installation and maintenance costs.
- Onboard intelligence — Advanced filtering, ID translation, data mapping and multiplexing features streamline network traffic and improve efficiency.
- Customizable actions — Additional LUA action-rule programming for responses tailored to specific network events.
- Device and system protection — Network segmentation with galvanic isolation protects devices against damage caused by voltage spikes.
- Cloud connectivity — MQTT support enables direct transmission of information to the cloud, facilitating IoT and remote monitoring applications.
- Configurable security levels — Defined access levels for configuration or firmware upload.
- Easy configuration and maintenance — The Windows configuration tool enables easy configuration and maintenance via USB or Ethernet.
- Support for Linux and QNX — Using the free ECI driver package, the hardware can be easily integrated into Linux-based environments as well as into applications under the QNX real-time operating system. 32- and 64-bit ARM (Raspberry Pi) and Intel X86 platforms are supported.
