CAN in industrial automation

The multi-layer structure of Controller Area Network (CAN) allows any station on a serial bus to communicate with any other station. There are also benefits in central control and self-diagnosis and correction of transmission errors.

A number of CAN-based higher level protocols have been developed for use in industrial automation applications. CAN Application Layer (CAL), CAN Kingdom, CAN-open, DeviceNet and Smart Distributed System are just a few of these variations.

CAN copper to fiber optic converter, DIN rail mount

Send CAN signals over fiber optic cable. Fiber optic cable offers natural resistance to EMI/RFI noise and surges that commonly interfere with electrical networks on factory floors.

CAN optically isolated repeater, DIN-rail mount

Increase the number of nodes on your CAN network. Optical isolation stops component killing spikes and surges.
