The Protocol Converter comes pre-programmed with standard protocol conversion logic for bidirectional data exchange between Ethernet (proprietary TCP communications), RS-422 bus, RS-232 bus, RS-485 bus, and CAN network (SAE J1939). Data is forwarded “as-is” between the different serial ports. Also, CAN / Ethernet data is forwarded directly to serial interfaces with the configuration allowing the user to specify the CAN message ID (or TCP port) to listen for data to be forwarded. The module is IP67 rated for rugged vehicle environments.

The Protocol Converter is an isolated gateway between up to 2 SAE J1939 ports, CANopen®, SAE J1587, RS485 or Modbus RTU and other combinations on request.

The RTC Module permits time and date information with a battery backed up Real-Time-Clock (RTC). It has one universal signal input and CAN bus ports. The universal input can interface with a command signal (0-5V; 0-10V; 4-20 mA; Frequency or PWM) or it can serve as “clock synchronization” trigger. For example, the RTC date and time could only be set when the input is triggered. The battery backup permits 15 years of operation. Power is 12V, 24V or 48Vdc nominal. The controller is ruggedly packaged for harsh operating environments.

Using Automotive Ethernet saves cabling costs for the machine builder.

The unit will be configured via the CAN (SAE J1939) port to act as a Master or Slave for Automotive Ethernet. The Master mode works if the connected device has its transceiver set to slave mode. The Slave mode works when the connected device has its transceiver set to master mode. Hard setting the master/slave relationship saves on setup-time costs and ensures that the Automotive Ethernet link is established quickly. As a comparison, regular Ethernet converters rely on auto-negotiation to determine master and slave.
