• POWERLINK

• 8 CAN interfaces

• M12 connections

• Integrated hub for efficient cabling

This bus controller makes it possible to connect 8 CAN interfaces to the POWERLINK network. The CAN interfaces are operated via an integrated hub, which increases the total cable length defined by classical CAN bus topology.

POWERLINK is a standard protocol for Fast Ethernet equipped with hard real-time characteristics. The Ethernet POWERLINK Standardization Group (EPSG) ensures openness and continuous development: www.ethernet-powerlink.org .
