Adding to the current IXXAT line of CAN bridges and gateways, HMS Networks launched four Ixxat CAN FD repeaters, all supporting both the new CAN FD standard as well as traditional CAN Bus.

With the IXXAT CAN FD repeaters, HMS allows the networking of existing CAN Bus systems as well as in CAN FD-based systems.

The repeaters enable CAN FD (CAN with Flexible Data-Rate) and CAN Bus components to be networked using tree and star topologies, as well as supporting the implementation of drop lines. No configuration is required in the process.

The IXXAT CAN FD repeaters are available with two and four channels for copper-wired networking (versions CAN-CR100 and CAN-CR300) and copper and fiber-optic connectivity (CAN-CR110/FO). All repeaters come with galvanic isolation of 1 kV, except for the CAN-CR120/HV version which withstands up to 3 kV.

With the fiber optic version, it is feasible to bridge distances with high electromagnetic interferences or to design applications with high demands on galvanic isolation.

The repeaters come in plastic housings for DIN rail mounting, and the CAN connection is made via screw terminals.

Isolated CAN FD Breakout Board

This is an isolated CAN Bus breakout board with Flexible Data Rate using the Analog Devices ADM3055E IC with a data rate of up to 12 Mbps. The output pins are on both screw terminals and a DB9 connector. The DB9 connector an be configured for use with an OBDII cable, SAE J1939 cable, or CAN Analyser pin-out via solder bridges.

Features

• 5 VDC supply requirement
• Vio 1.7 VDC to 5.5 VDC logic levels
• ISO 11898-2:2016 compliant (CAN FD)
• Data rates up to 12 Mbps for CAN FD
• Low maximum loop propagation delay: 150 ns
• Extended common-mode range: ±25 V
• Bus fault protection: ±40 V on CANH and CANL pins
• Low power standby support remote wake request
• 5 kV rms/3 kV rms signal and power isolated CAN transceivers
