Communication gateway EtherCAN CI-ARM7/RMD series

industrialEthernetserial

The Ethernet/CAN ­Gateway EtherCAN CI-ARM7 transmits data between a CAN network and Ethernet systems. As an universal CAN­ interface with an Ethernet interface, EtherCAN CI-ARM7 is independent from internal data buses and thus can be used with a variety of different work stations (PC, Mac, UNIX­-workstation). EtherCAN CI-ARM7 includes a Nuvoton NUC740A (ARM7 core) with 80 Mhz clock and a Linux operating system. In addition, the device has 16 MB SDRAM and 2 MB Flash. The connection to the CAN bus is done by a CAN controller of type NXP SJA1000 and supports the CAN protocols 2.0A and 2.0B. The protocol used for the communication between a host and EtherCAN CI-ARM7 is documented and disclosed. Development kits that allow the development of client applications for the operating systems Windows 7/8.x/10/11 or Linux are available free of charge. Microcontroller Nuvoton NUC740A with CAN­ controller NXP SJA1000 Serial interface for the configuration of the device Free of charge development kits for Windows 7/8.x/10/11 and Linux EtherCAN CI-ARM7 includes a CAN segment connected by a male and a female plug of type D-Sub9, the pin assignment complying to CiA DS-102 standard. Besides the CAN signals the connectors also carry the power supply for EtherCAN CI-ARM7. In addition, EtherCAN CI-ARM7 includes an Ethernet connector (RJ45, 10/100 MBit/s) and a serial connector (D-Sub9).
