The router CG FL, fitted in a compact housing with integrated connector, transmits data between CAN subnets via optical fibre. It allows the realization of high CAN data rates on the copper based segments while high system extension and short latency times are achieved at the same time. The underlying technology offers the possibility to run the subnets on both ends with 1000kbit/s, earning the benefits of short reaction times and high data throughput. Safety related control with SafetyBUS p is supported by the model SBR FL (see picture). This model has automatic baud rate detection and baud rate switching capability compliant with the SafetyBUS p standard.
