1. Introduction
The I-2533T-FD is a local CAN/CAN FD (CAN with Flexible Data-Rate) bridge used
to establish a connection between two CAN bus system via multi-mode fiber optic
transmission medium. In order to solve the problem between CAN/CAN FD and fiber
transmission medium, the I-2533T-FD is specially designed for converting the electrical
CAN/CAN FD bus signal to fiber optic cables. Besides, I-2533T-FD has three more
important features.
First, the transmission distance limitation of the CAN bus system will not affected
due to the different CAN/CAN FD baud rate. It means that the total CAN/CAN FD bus
working distance can be extended. Second, the bus error on one CAN/CAN FD network
will not affect the operation of another CAN/CAN FD network. Finally, the two CAN/CAN
FD network can communication with each other by using different CAN/CAN FD baud
rate for highly flexibility.
The I-2533T-FD is designed for multi-mode fiber, and allow to extern CAN/CAN FD
bus to maximum 2 km. Besides, I-2533T-FD provides the group function, which is the
basic message router. Users can decide the CAN/CAN FD message flows between
several CAN/CAN FD bus systems. I-2533T-FD also provides the utility tool for
user-defined baud rate and filter configuration. By using this tool, it is allowed to have
user-defined baud rate and CAN/CAN FD message filter. When users use the
I-2533T-FD on two CAN/CAN FD network with different CAN baud rate, it may be useful
to reduce the bus loading of the network which has low baud rate.
