Part No.: MPSC-FlexOpto
FlexOpto is a bidirectional media converter which transmits electrical FlexRay, CAN or LIN signals via optical fibre.
FlexOpto is a bidirectional media converter which transmits electrical FlexRay, CAN or LIN signals via optical fibre. For an independent use, a high capacity lithium ion battery allows an operation up to 40 h without charging. The PCB design is optimized for EMC tests, emits very little noise and is unsusceptible against high levels of electromagnetic noise.
Complete EMC optimized design with best-in-class low emissions
Best-in-class unsusceptible against noise
Integrated battery, up to 40 h operation
Supports WUP and symbols (CAS, MTS, ...)
Integrated, switchable network termination with power resistors
FlexOpto has a PCB that is optimized for EMC testing. Operating on internal, a rechargeable lithium ion battery, it can transmit the signals from a DUT into an EMC chamber to the FlexOpto outside via optical fibre. Using an interface e.g. a FlexCard family interface, the communication can be monitored.
FlexOpto can be used as galvanic isolation for FlexRay, CAN or LIN networks. Areas with high voltage can be isolated and groundshifts can be eliminated. Measurement equipment can be protected and the operator is safe because of the non conducting connection.
FlexOpto works as a range extender for FlexRay, CAN or LIN networks. It avoids reflexions because of unterminated tabs or distortion, e.g. caused by magnetic fields from electric motors etc. Because of the optical connection, the signal is not affected.
