PCAN-LWL
Replace a stretch of CAN cable with fiber optics
The PCAN-LWL replaces any section of a CAN network with a fiber-optic link. It is used in explosion-proof areas and for EMC measurements, where a copper bus is a problem. Each end can be set up for High-speed CAN or Low-speed CAN, and the two modules are powered externally.
The set works in CAN FD buses with data bit rates up to 5 Mbit/s and nominal bit rates up to 500 kbit/s. PEAK also offers a version with a Single-wire CAN transceiver on request.
Highlights
- Pair of CAN to fiber-optic converters
- High-speed CAN up to 500 kbit/s or Low-speed CAN up to 125 kbit/s
- CAN FD buses: data up to 5 Mbit/s, nominal up to 500 kbit/s
- 62.5/125 um duplex fiber with ST connectors, 5 or 10 m
- Supply 6.5 to 30 V via D-Sub or DC jack
