CAN busses over IP networks. CAN frames are wrapped in TCP or
UDP message packets and then forwarded via the IP network from
one device to another.
The PCAN-Ethernet Gateway DR provides one LAN connection and
two High-speed CAN interfaces. With its DIN rail casing and the
support of the extended temperature range, the module is suitable
for use in an industrial environment.
The configuration of the device is done via a comfortable web
interface. Besides a variety of status information, settings for the
device itself, for the communication interfaces, and for message
routing are provided.
