CAN bus LogicMachine
Embedded Systems will soon launch a product line consisting on CAN-bus based LogicMachine as well as CAN stand-alone extensions.
Some of CAN advantages:
-
Decentralized system, same as KNX
-
It can work as peer-to-peer and as master-slave. Simultaneously
-
1:1 mapping to KNX
-
Bandwidth depends on the distance, up to 100 kB/s (>10 more than KNX)
-
Installation wiring up to 5 km, bandwidth 9600
-
You can discover CAN devices easily (hardware id, software id)
-
Peer-to-peer and KNX addressing possible
-
All regular KNX data types supported internally
-
There is no polling as in ModBus, everything happens real-time
-
Auto-commissioning
-
Self-learning with auto addressing
-
Solution can be used in any topology (except loop)
-
Full diagnostics with error counter for each device; wathdogs built-in
-
Secure communication between devices, possibility to disable direct telegrams (only group communication works)
-
Based on CAN FT (Fault-Tolerant) which is international standard ISO 11898-3:2006
-
CAN based stand-alone products will be visible in all supported technology networks – KNX, BacNet, Modbus, EnOcean, DALI etc.
-
CAN is harsh-environment proven technology, operating in industries like space, automotive, aerospace, railway etc.
