The CAN FD/CAN gateway CG-FD/E is designed for applications where high flexibility is crucial. The extended values of supply voltage and operating temperature range meet typical requirements of automotive applications. The USB interface is used to configure the device and to optionally provide supply voltage. The configuration tool cg-fd-tool is in the scope of delivery and offers an intuitive way to set up the gateway.
Among available functions of the standard firmware are data rate adaption, message filtering as well as identifier conversion between the coupled busses. The restriction of the maximum data rate depending on cable length for a CAN or CAN FD segment can be abolished for the over-all system by use of CG-FD/E.
CG-FD/E obtains its potential through the use of a Cortex M4 microcontroller with 160 MHz clock. High speed processing and low latencies allow the use with high data rates and busloads.
Connection of CAN systems with differing data rates
Filtering and buffering of data traffic
Mapping of identifier between input and output
Cortex M4 Microcontroller running at 160 MHz with 2 internal CAN FD controllers
Extended supply voltage range
Extended temperature range
The connection of the CAN bus is done by a D-Sub9 male and female plug. These are also used as default power supply connection. An USB interface is provided for configuration, firmware download and optional power supply purposes.
