Programmable CAN Bus To RS232 Gateway For Communication Between Controllers
Posted by on
The b-CANCubeNano by b-plus is a fitting gateway for serial data communication between CAN Bus and EIA-232 networks.
The product was designed primarily for the use in vehicles and mobile machines. It features a CAN Bus interface according to ISO 11898-2 to communicate, for instance, with other machine controllers.
It also maintains an EIA-232 serial interface to interact with other serial peripherals, while two digital in- and outputs offer the flexibility to be modified for different applications. The device is easily programmable in C, and it comes with a free-of-charge development environment.
The product measures 50 mm x 30 mm x 39 mm and supports an operating temperature of -40 °C to +85 °C, protection classes IP54 and IP65, and a power supply of 8 VDC to 32 VDC. The processor consists of a 16-bit PIC micro-controller.
