BUS Converters (TJA1054 or AU5790)

TJA1054 Converts interfaces with buffers capable of running high speed CAN to the low speed, low power TJA 1054 standard with PCA82C252, TJA1053 or TJA1054 transceivers.  The TJA1054 Low Speed transceiver always runs in normal operating mode. It cannot be switched to Sleep mode or Standby mode.

AU5790 Converts interfaces with buffers capable of running high speed CAN to connect  with systems using the AU5790 transceiver. 

Truck Trailer Converter

The PCAN-B10011S bus converter links a high-speed CAN-node and a truck trailer CAN bus (ISO 11992-1)Specification. It provides direct connection to a 9-pin HS-CAN, switch able termination of the HS-CAN.  Connection of the Truck Trailer CAN via 9-pin Sub-D connector with a choice of operating modes for the Truck Trailer CAN via a slide switch
Data transfer rates can be up to 125 kBit/s, power supply is via the Truck Trailer CAN-bus or an external PSU.  There is a status display for power supply and error states via LEDs

PCAN Router

The PCAN-Router is a module that accesses two separate CAN networks. It uses a programmable ARM microcontroller to process the data it sees on these two channels , so that incoming CAN messages can be evaluated, converted, and filtered individually, in order to transmit appropriately customized CAN messages to the other network.

The PCAN-Router is shipped with demonstration firmware which performs one-to-one forwarding of the CAN messages between the two CAN networks at 500 kbit/s. As each network is separate the device can be used as a CAN extender so long as the application is not sensitive to any resulting delays.  The source code for this application is included on the CD-ROM supplied with the units.

It is possible to load your own firmware onto the module via CAN by means of a pre installed boot loader.

The module is mounted in an aluminum casing, and is shipped in versions with two Sub-D connectors, or a screw-terminal strip.  A power supply 7-26V DC is required.

The router can be fitted with an additional LIN channel if required.

PCAN-LWL Optical link

The PCAN-LWL package enables any CAN section to be implemented with an optical link. The optical waveguide consists of a 62.5/125 μm duplex fibreoptic cable with ST connectors. Conversion can be to High Speed CAN or Low Speed CAN and termination selected with internal jumpers.

Areas of application include EMC measurements on CAN modules, CAN sub-sections with high electromagnetic irradiation and lines that pass through areas where there is a risk of explosion.

The package supplied contains two modules complete with 5 meters of fibre optical cable including connectors. The modules require an external power supply or they can be powered by batteries. A suitable battery is available as an option.

Please note that this link will only change the signals to match the voltage/current requirements of the different standards you will still have to run both sides at the lower of the two speeds.
