CAN transceiver OL

multimode

CTrans OL acts as a transceiver for protocol transparent transmission of CAN signals between copper based sections via an optical fibre. Several technical improvements can be obtained by optical transmission of CAN signals, such as secure separation of high voltages and insensitivity to electromagnetic perturbation. Furthermore the transparent transmission of CAN signals with CTrans OL preserves the main benefits of CAN, such as error correction and priority driven bus access. Like repeaters Ctrans OL can be used to build flexible wiring topologies. Star and tree structures as well as stub lines can be realized. The integrated error supression reduces the influence of faulty segments onto intact sections. For the optical connection cost effective PMMA fibres with pluggable connection and 62,5µm multimode glass fibres with ST connectors are supported. Depending on the type of fibre a wiring distance up to 1000m can be achieved. Three LEDs on the front panel indicate the status of the internal power and wether a signal is received on the CAN or fiberoptical connection.
