Description
The 'C1' module is an extremely small and rugged CAN Bus add-on interface. This standard sized Mini PCIe module provides a simple way to add dual isolated CAN Bus interfaces to most embedded computer systems.
The C1 features operation over the full industrial temperature range (-40° to +85°C) and is shock and vibe tested for worry-free use in industrial and military applications. It uses a latching connector to address cable detachment failures. It provides 2.5 kV of signal isolation to protect the host computer.
The C1 module supports the CAN-FD protocol and a wide range of signaling speeds. CAN-FD is fully compatible with CAN 2.0 A and CAN 2.0 B. It supports numerous CAN functions including message acceptance filter, listen-only mode, and wake up over CAN. All configuration parameters are retained after hardware reset or power cycling.
Like other VersaLogic products, the C1 is designed and validated for operation in unforgiving environments and features 10+ year availability.
VersaLogic products are designed for use by OEMs working in a variety of market applications: Aerospace, Defense, Energy, Industrial, Security, Medical, Military, Robotics, and Transportation. VersaLogic delivers extremely reliable standard and customized embedded computers backed with unsurpassed service and the highest availability in the market.
