XG555 CANbus to DeviceNet Transducer Gateway
April 21, 2005
Product Specification for CANbus to DeviceNet
Transducer Gateway
The XG555 CANbus to DeviceNet Temposonics Gateway gathers position information from as many as
four Temposonics CANBUS transducers, each with multiple magnets. This information is provided to a
host over a DeviceNet interface. Setup information is stored on the local flash disk. The system is
comprised of an embedded industrial computer, with a PC-104 stack providing hardware interfaces. The
PC-104 stack includes the processor, a CANBUS interface, and a DeviceNet interface.
