WRC-CANR-DF-DN
The WRC-CANR-DF-DN Fiber Optic CAN Bus Extender converts a copper
cable medium CAN-Bus network to a fiber optic medium. The WRC-CANR-DF-DN
is always used in pairs and, along with the fiber optic cable
set, inserts a length of fiber media into the copper CAN Bus network.
It typically is used to convert a section of the CAN bus to a
pair of fiber optic cables.
The primary purposes of configuration is to extend the maximum
length defined for one continuous network cable bus and to provide
network protection from external, high-energy electrical interference,
such as lightning storms, arc welders, etc.
They can be connected in a bus trunk line or drop line.
The Extenders are transparent to the other nodes on the bus.
They receive and actively re-transmit (store-and-forward) each
message received at either side of the network without interpreting
the message or acting upon it.
The Fiber Extenders perform all appropriate CAN Bus arbitration
on the copper bus as it re-transmits the message.
The unit derives its power through the copper network connector
on Side A and the copper network connection on Side B. 1.1.
