The CAN-CR110/FO repeater with two CAN/CAN FD channels
(thereof one as Fiber Optic interface) and integrated bus
termination resistors is used for the conversion of the CAN signal
from copper wire (ISO 11898-2) to fiber optic cables. It can be
used to improve the load capacity of the CAN bus with nodes, to
establish a physical coupling of CAN FD bus systems or to insert
a galvanic isolation.
The CAN FD repeater creates the necessary flexibility to optimize
the structure of CAN networks and to free CAN networks from
the restriction to the bus structure. It can be used to implement
tree or star topologies as well as for stub lines. Integrated bus
termination resistors prevent reflections on the line ends and
ensure optimum communication.
The CAN-CR110/FO separates a defective segment from the rest
of the network, allowing the remaining network to continue
working.
