IXXAT CAN-CR200 - CAN Repeater with Backbone Bus
The Ixxat CAN-CR200 repeater with 2 CAN interfaces and 1 CAN backbone interface improves the CAN bus load capacity, establishes a physical coupling of bus systems, and offers galvanic isolation. Multiple repeaters can be lined up and connected easily via the integrated DIN rail bus to create various topologies and optimize network structures. This repeater is designed for industrial environments by meeting high demands for robustness, temperature range, and safety. It helps to optimize CAN network structures by enabling extended layouts (stub lines, star and tree topologies). Having minimal impact on real-time behavior, equivalent to a short line length (ca. 40 m/200 ns delay). the repeater enables transparent transmission compatible with all higher layer protocols. Network reliability, monitoring and fault recovery The CAN-CR200 ensures system reliability by electrically isolating CAN segments and power, auto-separating network faults and keeping the network operational.
