Rugged interface COMfalcon

RS232communicationwireless

Housing and Status display The interface has a robust aluminium housing with protection class IP65. Due to the com­pact design and the high shock resistance COMfalcon® can be used in different areas of the auto­ma­tion and au­to­mo­tive industry. Two 14-segment displays and nine LEDs always indicate the current operating status/error code of the device. Interfaces COMfalcon® has four CAN interfaces in total and is based on the CAN interface CIN with Freescale PowerPC architecture. The con­nec­tion to the dia­gnos­tic PC is es­tab­lished via WLAN/LAN. In addition to the CAN chan­nels, various other inter­faces such as RS232, RS422, RS485 or K-Line are available for diagnostic purposes. Error frame detection With this feature COMfalcon is able to take over the troubleshooting and diagnosis in a CAN network. The interface has its own logic, which detects error frames and counts them in an internal memory. Thus sporadic errors, such as the fal­si­fi­ca­tion of messages by a par­tic­i­pant in the network, can be detected. ID related level measurement – resistance measurement / current meas­urement This feature enables the CAN levels to be read in IO-related as well as active and passive ter­mi­na­tion re­sis­tors to be measured and thus, for example, to carry out fault dia­gno­sis on a vehicle or machine. This is par­tic­u­larly important if data is lost from the net­work, which can be caused by short circuits, for example.
