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

    The CAN-CR210/FO ensures system reliability by electrically isolating CAN segments and power, auto-separating network faults and keeping the network operational.

  • Improved network monitoring and fault recovery

    In case of disturbances in the CAN lines, the repeater automatically disconnects the affected segment and restores it after the fault is resolved, ensuring uninterrupted network operation.

  • Increased system protection

    Using the CAN-CR210/FO, network components can be galvanically isolated up to 1 kV. This reliably enhances the protection of the device against damage to electronics caused by voltage peaks.

  • Two CAN channels for extended connectivity

    Equipped with two CAN channels, the CAN-CR210/FO can be used to establish a physical coupling and galvanic isolation of two segments of both CAN bus systems.

  • 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.
