BI-0501

MC68EN360/MC68040 based SBC with ETHERNET, RS-232, FIELDBUS and eight CANbus interfaces

The BI-0501 is an eight channel CAN to TCP/IP gateway. It functions as a multi-user gateway between any of its CAN channels and TCP/IP based hosts located on either a local- or wide area network. Users can reserve one or more CAN channels and send and receive CAN messages transparently to and from the BI-0501's CAN channels. The BI-0501 can also be used as a stand alone multi-channel CAN supervisor which enables local CAN applications to communicate through TCP/IP with other (e.g. management) applications in an organization. Control applications can be loaded and executed on the BI-0501 enabling it to operate as an autonomous system. The BI-0501 can use up to eight CAN interfaces which may be used to provide redundancy and simultaneous use of multiple CAN application protocols (e.g. CANopen, SDS and DeviceNet.)
