Ixxat CAN/FD Repeater Standard

Product Overview

The Ixxat CAN/FD Repeater Standard with two CAN/CAN FD interfaces improves the CAN bus load capacity, establishes a physical coupling of bus systems, and offers galvanic isolation. It provides the flexibility to optimise network structures and liberates them from CAN bus structure constraints for optimised operation.

Features and Benefits

• Robust industrial use
Designed for industrial environments, meeting high demands for robustness, temperature ranges, and safety.

• Flexibility in CAN FD network design
Helps to optimise CAN/CAN FD network structures by enabling extended layouts (stub lines, star and tree topologies).

• Removable push-in connectors
Features removable push-in connectors, ensuring hassle-free installation and maintenance without the need for additional tools.

• Fast and transparent operation
Minimal impact on real-time behavior, equivalent to a short line length (ca. 35 m/175 ns delay). Enabling transparent transmission, compatible with all higher layer protocols.

• Cost savings due to simple wiring
Optimized topologies enable simpler wiring, resulting in less cables and cost savings at installation and maintenance.

• Enhanced network reliability
Higher system reliability by electrically isolating CAN/CAN FD segments and power up to 5 kV DC for 1 minute. This enhances the protection of the device against damage to electronics caused by voltage peaks.

• Network monitoring and fault recovery
In case of disturbances, the repeater automatically disconnects the affected segment and restores it after the fault is resolved.

• Integrated bus termination resistors
Integrated bus termination resistors for each CAN channel (120 Ohm, separately switchable by piano switches) prevent reflections on the line ends and ensure optimum communication.
