CAN in industrial automation
The multi-layer structure of Controller Area Network (CAN)
allows any station on a serial bus to communicate with any
other station. There are also benefits in central control and selfdiagnosis
and correction of transmission errors. A number of
CAN-based higher level protocols have been developed for use
in industrial automation applications. CAN Application Layer
(CAL), CAN Kingdom, CAN-open, DeviceNet and Smart
Distributed System are just a few of these variations.
CAN isolator boosts signal, increases number of nodes.
• Extend the node capacity of your CAN network
• Optical isolation to 2000 VDC. Stops surges and spikes
• DIN rail mount
• Terminal block connections
Optical isolation stops surges Model CANOP extends the node
capacity of your CAN systems and protects your CAN network
from component killing surges and transients. Model CANOP is
an optically isolated CAN repeater that provides 2000 VDC of
optical isolation, allowing you to separate and protect critical
segments of your system from the rest of the CAN network. The
sturdy DIN rail mount case is 4.0 x 3.4 x 1.4 in (9.3 x 8.6 x 3.6
cm). A 10 to 30 VDC power source is required.
CANOP
CANFB
Send CAN signals over fiber for noise resistance and isolation
• Convert CAN signals to fiber and fiber to CAN
• Fiber is naturally resistant to surges, spikes and electrical noise
• DIN rail mount
• Terminal block connections for copper
• ST connectors for fiber
Fiber optic cable offers natural resistance to EMI/RFI noise and
surges that commonly interfere with electrical networks on
factory floors and in industrial environments. Model CANFB
converts CAN signals from copper to fiber and from fiber to
copper. To connect two CAN devices with fiber optic cable, two
Model CANFB converters are required. Copper connections are
terminal block. Fiber connectors are standard ST connectors. The
sturdy DIN rail mount case is 4.0 x 3.4 x 1.4 in (9.3 x 8.6 x 3.6
cm). A power supply of 10 to 30 VDC is required.

RS-232 Baud Rate Converter & Parallel-to-Serial Port Converter
Convert Data Rates, Formats, Handshaking;
Printer Ports
Different data rates, formats and handshaking?
No problem with this baud rate converter!
Many older devices lack the option to reconfigure baud rate,
data format and handshaking. Model 232BRC acts as a
translator between asynchronous devices, matching each
device’s needs while maintaining the highest possible
throughput. Each side can be individually configured to suit
the device connected to it. The module supports any data rate
up to 115.2 kbps and all standard data formats.
Each side can also supply or accept hardware or software
handshaking, allowing the higher speed device to be located
on either port. A PC is used to configure the Model 232BRC,
but once configured, the module may be installed on any
system. Non-volatile memory maintains all parameters when
power is removed. Each port buffers 16K bytes of data. LED
indicators on each port signals when data is present in the
buffer. The connectors are DB9 female on port A, DB9 male on
port B. Model 232BRC requires 12 VDC @ 100 mA. Module
dimensions are 5.8 x 3.6 x 1.2 in (14.6 x 9.1 x 3.0 cm). A power
supply is available.

Parallel to Serial Converters
(232SPS2)
232BRC
• Port-powered
• Easy installation
• Works with existing software
• Operates as parallel-to-serial or serial-to-parallel converter
• Baud rates up to 115.2 kbps
• 96-byte buffer prevents data loss
• Dimensions: 4.3 x 1.7 x 0.8 in (10.9 x 4.3 x 2.0 cm)
The Model 232SPS2 converts data from a parallel port to a
serial communication format, or from a serial port to a parallel
communication format. Connects directly between computer
and printer without making any software modifications. The
serial port has a female DB25 connector and supports X-On/X-
Off control as well as hardware handshaking. It supports
standard baud rates from 1200 to 115.2 kbps, and Acknowledge,
Busy, and Strobe on the parallel port. 8-position dipswitch
configures the 232SPS2 to match system. The unit can be portpowered
using DTR and RTS on the serial port or powered
externally using 7 to 18 VDC. A power supply is available.
