CAN-ETH CAN/Ethernet gateway
CAN-ETH is a CAN to Ethernet gateway specifically designed to interface CAN networks with TCP/IP networks.
The gateway features a CAN and an Ethernet port and can be mounted on a DIN rail. It encapsulates CAN messages into UDP packets and transports them via Ethernet. The gateway can operate in peer-to-peer or broadcast modes.
Usage and configuration of the gateway is simple and conveniently performed using a web browser which connects to the embedded web server.
Common applications include:
- CAN bus length extensions
- CAN to DSL bridging
- Wireless networking of CAN networks
The CAN-ETH gateway can be used in pairs to create a CAN network across Ethernet or TCP/IP. It also can be used as a CAN interface for a Windows or Linux PC and even the Rasapberry Pi. Custom applications which send or receive CAN messages are easily created in Python, C or C++ using the provided software libraries and toolkits. The UDP protocol which encapsulates the CAN messages is also supported in Wireshark for diagnostic and monitoring.
