$220.00$248.00

2-channel CAN Bus repeater. Isolated. Transmits and amplifies CAN signals transparent to CAN protocol, with low propagation delay, and shutdown of erroneous bus segments. Allows the design of flexible wiring topologies. Rail-mountable.

SKU: WU-12-02-xxx-20 Categories: ,

The CRep Opto two-channel Isolated CAN Bus repeater transmits and amplifies CAN signals transparent to the CAN protocol. It allows the design of flexible wiring topologies, with star and tree structures and stub lines easily realized.

  • FCC Class A Verified (use restricted to commercial, business, and industrial environments)
  • Backed by 25+ years CAN expertise

Baud Rate Settings & Overall Cable Length Restrictions

CRep Opto repeaters are available in a number of baud rate configurations. The maximum CAN cable length, which is the distance between the furthest two nodes in the network, is related to the operating baud rate as follows:

Baud RateMaximum Cable Length with single CRep Opto added

When a CRep Opto repeater is used, the effect of the propagation delay through the repeater must be included in the cable length calculation.

For a CRep Opto repeater, the typical and maximum propagation delays is 125s and 200ns, respectively. Assuming a 5.5ns/m propagation delay for cable, the maximum propagation delay through the repeater is equivalent to a cable length of roughly 37m (rounding-up).

500kbit/s100 – 37 = 63m
250kbit/s250 – 37 = 213m
125kbit/s500 – 37 = 463m
50kbit/s1000 – 37 = 963m

Specifications

Layout and Connection

CRep Opto devices include 2 CAN segments fed to a male and a female plug of type D-Sub 9. The plugs carry the CAN signals and the supply voltage. The following table shows the function of the internally connected CAN interface.
