PCAN-Repeater

The PCAN-Repeater features two CAN ports with 5 kV galvanic isolation between each other and the power supply. It supports both, CAN CC and CAN FD buses, using bit rates from 14 kbit/s up to 8 Mbit/s. With its DIN rail housing and extended temperature range support, it is suitable for applications in industrial environments.

The PCAN-Repeater requires no configuration. All CAN messages and error frames are forwarded 1:1 between both ports, enhancing the quality of the CAN signals. From the perspective of the CAN bus, the repeater is transparent, just like a cable.

The PCAN-Repeater allows the galvanic isolation of two CAN bus segments and the realization of long stub lines, even with multiple CAN nodes.
 

Please note

Due to the CAN protocol, the maximum length of a CAN bus depends on the bit rate. Therefore, a bus cannot be extended with the PCAN-Repeater. The physical total length of the CAN bus is reduced with each built-in PCAN-Repeater according to its transit delay.
