CAN repeaters allow CAN networks to be extended by regenerating the CAN bus signals. They are particularly useful in establishing more advanced network topologies, stub-lines, trees, and stars being examples, with a view to increasing flexibility and reducing the size and cost of a CAN system.
CAN Repeaters
CAN Repeaters
with Cascading 8-Channel CAN Repeaters
Standard Product Features
- Protocol transparency
– Works with higher layer protocols - Low propagation delay
- Shutdown of erroneous bus segments
- Choice of Baud Rate:
– 10, 20, 50, 125, or 250/500kBaud - Rail Mounting versions FCC Class A Verified
- Backed by 25+ years CAN expertise
For off the shelf requirements, CAN repeaters are available as rail mounting assemblies with support from 2 to 24 channels:
2-channel CAN Repeater
The CRep N 2-channel CAN Repeater transmits and amplifies CAN signals transparent to the CAN protocol.
- 2-channel CAN repeater
- Non-isolated
- Terminal block with clamps
- Rail Mounting
2-channel CAN Repeater (isolated)
The CRep Opto 2-channel CAN Bus Repeater provides a galvanically isolating equivalent to the CRep N.
- 2-channel CAN repeater
- Galvanic separation of CAN segments
- Single or dual 12-24V power supply
- Rail Mounting
Basic Function
The CRep S4 4-channel CAN Repeater transmits and amplifies signals transparent to the CAN protocol. Each of the four CAN connections has the physical behavior of a single bus node. CRep S4 permits a flexible design of the network topology and offers special support for star structured networks.
- 4-channel CAN repeater
- Non-isolated
- 24V power supply
- Rail Mounting
CAN Repeater
Function
The Crep S8C is a modular and cascading 8-channel CAN repeater which provides support for even more complex topologies, capable of accommodating up to 24-channels with low latency. Originally developed to support factory environments in the paper industry, Traquair now offers this either as an off the shelf product, or as a semi-custom mezzanine module (tailored to customer / application specific requirements).
- 8-channel cascading CAN repeater (with support for to 24-channels at low latency)
- Non-isolated
- 24V power supply
- Rail Mounting
If off the shelf is not enough, semi- and full-custom designs tailored to application specific requirements are also possible, including board level designs for OEM applications:
CAN Repeater Design Options
- Application specific hardware designs
- Board level solutions
- Conformal coating
- Rapid-prototyping of enclosure designs (3D-printing)
- Custom & IP rated enclosures
developed for bio-medical equipment application
