ICP DAS I-2534 and I-5534-M 4-port CANbus switches

ICP Electronics Australia has released the ICP DAS I-2534 4-port CANbus switch and I-5534-M 4-port industrial CANbus switch in a metal casing.

The I-2534 and I-5534-M are both CAN switches used to establish a connection among four CAN bus subnetworks. The I-2534 and I-5534-M extend the CAN working distance and are specially designed for integrating four CAN networks and solving the problems of using a star topology. They are not only used as a CAN bridge, but also have more powerful features.

The upgraded firmware features a CAN-ID mapping mechanism to modify the received CAN-ID before process forwarding. Users can configure the CAN-ID mapping table. When the I-2534 and I-5534-M receives the specific CAN-ID, the CAN-ID will change to the corresponding CAN-ID by the mapping table before it is transmitted to other CAN ports. When CAN devices transmit the same CAN messages, the I-2534 or I-5534-M change them to another CAN-ID by the CAN-ID mapping mechanism.

Each switch offers four CAN communication ports, with a TJA1042 CAN transceiver, and is compatible with CAN Specification 2.0A and 2.0B, as well as the ISO 11898-2 standard. Various switch-selectable baud rates up to 1 Mbps are supported, as well as a user-defined rate.

The CAN Bus Route Path and CAN Filter are configurable. Each CAN Channel has a frame buffer for up to 100 frames and supports a frame rate of up to 2500 fps.
