The Chroma A620008 CAN interface can be used with the 62000B-3-1 and 62000B-6-1 power supply mainframes.
The CAN bus (Controller Area Network) is a differential, serial bus standard to which several devices are connected and controlled by a computer. CAN was originally developed by Bosch for electromagnetic environments in 1986 and was mainly used in vehicles. In the meantime, this bus standard is used in myriads of applications such as aviation, factory installations, building automation and of course in all kinds of vehicles. A CAN bus system avoids a confusing "cable clogging" in which a differential two-wire system is used. CAN offers service in layers 1 and 2 of the OSI model and uses frame-bound information transmission of 125 kb / s over a distance of 40 m. In an emergency, transmission can also take place over a wire. A transmission without fault tolerance can take place up to 1Mb / s over a distance of less than 40 m; At 50 kb / s, distances of 1 km are also possible. A reduced bit rate leads to a larger transmission distance. B. 125 kb / s at 500 m distance.
