Description
The CANmod.router lets you receive/transmit CAN data (Classical or FD) from/to 4 isolated secondary CAN buses via 1 primary CAN bus (or USB).
The compact module is 100% standalone (no PC required) and offers pro specs, daisy chaining and powerful configuration options.
It can e.g. be used with the CANedge, enabling you to log 5 x CAN buses (or beyond via daisy chaining).
The device can also be used as a powerful 4 x CAN FD to USB interface with free software/API tools.
Tip: Add the DB25-to-4x-DB9 for quick installation.

PLUG & PLAY |
Connect up to 4 x CAN to receive / transmit the data via 1 x CAN (or USB) - no configuration required |
|
COMPACT |
7 x 2 x 5 CM. 75G. 7 LEDs. Supply via DB9/USB. 5-26 V. Mounting flanges. USB for config/FW and streaming |
|
PRO SPECS |
4 x CAN FD. Basic galvanic isolation. Silent mode. Zero data loss. 1 ms precision. Error frame support. |
|
MUX MODE |
Transport 4 x CAN via 1 x CAN. Easily demux data. Optionally transport via CAN FD for max throughput |
|
SEAMLESS |
Fully supported by CANedge/CANmod software/API tools. As if directly interfacing the 4 x CAN buses |
|
CONFIGURABLE |

Transport muxed CAN data through tunnels
In mux-mode, traffic from/to the secondary CAN buses is routed through the primary CAN bus via tunnels (CAN frames that transport the original data). Muxed data received by a user CAN node (e.g. CANedge) can be easily demuxed to its original form via software/API tools.
