The new CAN bus modules feature an NXP SJA1000 CAN controller with a TJA1041 transceiver.

Acromag (Wixom, MI) has released new CAN bus modules to interface network sensors and actuators to high-performance control systems. Two versions of the CAN bus interface module are available. The IP560 is an Industry Pack ANSI/VITA-4 card that plugs into VME, CompactPCI, and PCI bus mezzanine carrier cards or single-board computers in embedded systems. IOS-560 models are designed for use within Acromag’s I/O Server industrial PC, a small fanless box computer, which services mobile computing, machine control, and test applications. Features include:

• 2 channels with optional isolation.
• An NXP SJA1000 CAN controller with a TJA1041 transceiver.
• Extended temperature models support -40º to 85°C operation.
• The ability to transmit, receive, and perform message filtering on extended and standard messages.
• CAN 2.0B protocol compatibility and ISO 11898 compliance for Part A (11-bit) and Part B extended (29-bit) arbitration IDs.
• PeliCAN mode extensions provide numerous communication capabilities.
• An isolation option eliminates ground loop potentials and protects equipment from electrical noise, surges, and spikes.
• A 1000 V isolation barrier safely separates channel-to-channel and channel-to-host.
