May 21, 2009 – Ethernet Direct Corporation introduced CANARY products for CAN Bus solutions.
Controller area network (CAN bus) is a serial communication way which efficiently supports distributed real-time control with a very high level of security. It provides the error process mechanisms and message priority concepts. These features can improve the network reliability and transmission efficiency. Furthermore, CAN supplies the multi-master capabilities, and is especially suited for networking “intelligent” devices as well as sensors and actuators within a system or sub-system.
Ethernet Direct offers Canary CAN Bus solution products to provide industrial environments with higher performance products to be used in applications involving factory automation, industrial machine control, maritime electronic, building management system and aircraft engines. The CAN series include CAN Bus isolated repeater, CAN to Fiber converter, Intelligent Serial to CAN converter, Ethernet to CAN/Serial converter and USB to CAN converter.
CAN repeater is use to establish a physical coupling of two or more segments of a CAN bus system.
CAN to fiber converter is use for applications which require protecting the data transmission from electrical exposure, surges, lightning or chemical corrosion in a CAN network.
CAN to Serial converter is use to communicate with CAN devices easily from any PC or devices with RS-232/485/422 interface.
CAN to USB converter is a cost-efficient device for coupling the CAN-bus to the PC using the standard USB interface which is present in every new PC and is supported by the MS-Windows 98, ME, 2000 and XP operating systems.
