Ixxat CAN@net Basic CAN-to-Ethernet gateway

In many CAN-to-Ethernet systems, transmitting Ethernet frames for every CAN message creates excessive interrupts, leading to high jitter and unstable system performance. Conversely, aggregating data reduces jitter but increases delay. The Ixxat CAN@net Basic CAN-FD-to-Ethernet gateway from HMS Industrial Networks uses UDP/IP communication, reducing protocol overhead and minimising interrupt load. This enables a balanced approach with low latency and controlled jitter, making it suitable for time-sensitive applications.

By enabling flexible network expansion via Ethernet, CAN@net Basic allows engineers to connect distributed systems without being constrained by classical CAN topology limits, and is specifically designed as a cost-optimised alternative, delivering essential functionality while maintaining industrial-grade performance.

The CAN@net Basic gateway offers one CAN CC/CAN FD channel with CAN data rates of up to 8 Mb/s, one Ethernet channel (RJ45), removable push-in connectors, a type C USB interface, USB 2.0 high-speed (480 Mbit/s), galvanic isolation and an operating temperature range of -25°C to +85°C.
