Piggyback module for CAN interface boards
The MultiCAN expansion board for the Ixxat CAN-IB series enhances the board's capabilities by providing two additional high-speed CAN channels. As a piggyback module, it doubles the number of high-speed CAN channels available on a D-Sub 9 connector and reduces slot requirements, making it an ideal solution for efficiently expanding CAN networks.
Key points
- Additional CAN channels for PC interfaces — Doubles the number of high-speed CAN channels on the interface board's existing D-Sub 9 connectors, increasing network capacity.
- Compact design — By halving the number of CAN slots required, the expansion board helps optimize space within the system.
- Easy installation — Designed as a piggyback module for PC interface boards, enabling efficient setup without major system modifications. The Multi CAN expansion cannot be used together with other expansion boards.
- Streamlined network management — Simplifies network architecture by consolidating multiple channels, making system management easier.
- Surge protection — The interface board's existing galvanic isolation is retained, protecting against surges and potential electrical damage.
