Network repeater S26

current

Description The compact CAN repeater CRep S26 transmits and amplifies signals transparent to the CAN protocol. Each of the 26 CAN connections has the physical behaviour of a single bus node. CRep S26 permits a flexible design of the network topology and offers special support for star structured networks. Furthermore tree structures and long stub lines are supported. Through the possibility to use the network structure that fits the application best a reduction of installation costs can be reached. The maximum data rate in CAN networks, depending on signal propagation delays, can be increased, if CRep S26 is used to improve the network structure. An increase of the maximum node count in a CAN network can be reached by splitting the network in subnets that are connected by CRep S26. Each subnet makes the number of CAN nodes possible permitted by the drivers output current. Where CAN signals have to be transmitted over long distances, CRep S26 can be used for signal conditioning. The capability to detach erroneous segments from the rest of the CAN system reduces the impact on the intact bus segments for the most commonly occuring errors. The presence of power is indicated by a LED. Furthermore each CAN channel is provided with a LED indicating that this channel has originated a CAN message when the LED is on.
