Axiomatic Technologies introduced their AX141530, a CAN-to-Ethernet protocol converter to support automation for mobile applications.

The module translates CAN Bus 29-bit extended data frame to Automotive Ethernet (100 Mbit/s) and vice versa. It comes with Power, Link, and Speed LED indicators and an IP67 rating, making the product fitting for harsh environments, such as vibration and water resistance. The converter supports a 12 to 24 VDC input power range for operation per battery.

It provides one CAN Bus and one Ethernet port through two M12 connectors and tolerates surge, reverse polarity, input overvoltage, and input under-voltage protection. The Automotive Ethernet fieldbus supports bit rates of 100 Mbps, and the CAN Bus supports baud rates up to 1 Mbps.

Commander and responder functionally are either factory set or can be configured. The data frames are neither stored nor modified during the transition. Status LEDs provide information on connection links and communication. SAE J1939 is available as a configuration port.

Axiomatic also offers CAN-to-Wifi and CAN-to-Bluetooth converters for machine automation and utilization on off-road machinery.
