Can Repeaters

UL Electrodevices Pvt Ltd offers a range of CAN Repeaters launched by HMS Industrial Networks under the IXXAT brand. These well-proven products enable coupling of two or more CAN network segments, provide them with galvanic isolation, and eliminate the effects of EMI (electromagnetic interference). The CAN repeaters are offered under HMS’ recently acquired IXXAT brand and enable machine builders and system integrators to use extended CAN topologies including tree or star topologies. Furthermore, the integrated galvanic isolation provides a built-in protection against over voltage and the anti-noise circuit of the units eliminates the effects of EMI. IXXAT repeaters are especially designed for use in industrial environments, meeting high demands for robustness, temperature ranges and safety. With the use of a repeater, it is possible to build independent electric segments that can be optimally terminated in terms of signals. The repeater substantially increases system reliability, partly because it increases the signal quality, and partly because it makes it possible to isolate malfunctions – keeping the remaining CAN-system fully operational. Furthermore, the implemented monitoring function detects CAN lines, which are disturbed or malfunctioning. These lines are disconnected automatically, thus allowing the remaining network to continue functioning normally. After the fault has been eliminated, the disconnected segment is automatically reconnected to the network. Depending on the type of repeater, the CAN lines are protected among each other and against the power supply up to 4 kV. In addition, the built-in CAN bus choke provides protection against signal peaks and the additional anti-noise circuit helps eliminating effects of EMI like heavy noise on the CAN-bus.
