Ethercan Light HS
Our aim is for our hardware to bring users greater access to all of CAN’s varied possibilities.
Mission Viejo, Calif. (PRWEB) March 30, 2017
March 30, 2017: Meet the Ethercan Light HS, Kvaser’s answer to CAN-to-Ethernet connectivity. This compact, lightweight device fosters “Internet of Things”-type communication between other CAN hardware. More importantly, it allows users to access real-time CAN data remotely—something impossible with traditional USB connectivity. While primarily used in industrial automation and, more recently, the auto industry, the Ethercan Light HS has big implications for a wide array of sectors, including aerospace, defense, medical devices and innovative design, like robotics and large-scale solar equipment.
President Lars-Berno Fredriksson said of the innovative device, “Kvaser is proud to bring simple, well-designed CAN bus products, like the Ethercan, to the market. Our aim is for our hardware to bring users greater access to all of CAN’s varied possibilities.”
While CAN-to-Ethernet connectivity isn’t a new concept, it is one plagued by complex and cumbersome hardware. The Ethercan Light HS can detect and adjust for changing Ethernet cable connections (be it straight-through or crossover), and the gateway device ensures the smooth collection and transmission of real-time data, despite small internet disruptions. Additionally, the Ethercan features:
High-speed CAN connection, up to 1 Mb/s
PoE or with CAN devices, like the T-Cannector v2
Factory reset button for returning to default setting IP address
Full compatibility with J1939, CANopen, NME 2000R and DeviceNet
Lightweight, compact, galvanically isolated shell
