Product Description and Features
The CANbridge is a universal, intelligent CAN topology component, that allows the coupling of
two CAN networks, also with different bit rates or frame formats. CAN messages are received by
one network and transmitted in the other network, according to filter and implementation rules.
The CAN messages can be filtered based on CAN identifiers. Certain CAN messages can be
forwarded and others discarded. With this mechanisms the bus load can be reduced in the
associated network by transmitting only the messages that are of interest.
The baud rates of the CAN busses are freely configurable. Additionally the CANbridge provides
automatic baud rate detection. To configure the CANbridge a configuration file is used. The
configuration is created in ASCII code and loaded on the CANbridge with a download tool via the
serial interface.
