CAN repeater with fiber optics (ST) and backbone bus

Ixxat CAN-CR210/FO

Item number 1.01.0068.46010

The Ixxat CAN-CR210/FO repeater with two CAN interfaces, one of which is a Fiber Optic interface (ST plug), enables the conversion of CAN signals from copper wire to fiber optics. It enhances connectivity in high-electromagnetic interference zones and provides the flexibility to optimize network structures. With integrated CAN backbone interface.

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 connected in series through the integrated backbone bus, seamlessly linking them to a CAN hub for enhanced connectivity.

  • Integrated bus termination resistors

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