The CAN-Ethernet Gateway makes easy the transparent connection of remote CAN networks. Multipoint-connections supports setup of complex structures at the field-bus level. Diagnosis and configuration via remote access enables easy network servicing. Configurable filtration allows for limitation of transmitted CAN messages, thus ensuring that only relevant data is transmitted via Ethernet. Time synchronization is guaranteed by timestamps that are assigned to each CAN message. Remote access to the CAN-Ethernet Gateway is provided via telnet or a serial link (RS-232). Password protection is included. No proprietary software is required for configuration. The default CAN-Ethernet Gateway configuration allows for plug & play start-up.
Ensuring out-of-the-box deployment within a short time, the CAN-Ethernet Gateway comes pre-configures and is ready for use immediately after power-up. The device provides a transparent, protocol-independent transfer of the CAN messages, thus allowing its implementation into a wide range of applications and various higher-layer CAN protocols.
A device driver is available for MS-Windows based PC systems and allows for simultaneous operation of up to five CAN-Ethernet Gateways. It also includes a programmer's API for integration of the CAN-Ethernet Gateway into own applications.
The CAN-Ethernet Gateway can be used with all CAN and CANopen software tools provided by SYS TEC.
