Universal I/O gateway for CAN and CANopen systems
The CANio 250 enables the easy and quick connection of digital input and output signals to CAN or CANopen systems - whether in experimental setups, component test stands or vehicles.
The CAN part of the device is identical to the CANio 500, however, the I/O part can only handle digital signals. 16 TTL compatible I/Os are available, which can be individually configured as input or output in groups of each 8 signals.
Like the CANio 500, also the CANio 250 is designed as self-starting CANopen slave with all important parameters, such as Node-ID or default values, stored on the device. This enables the device to start its operation directly after start up, without making any further settings, and allows due to this the operation in basic CAN systems.
The individual configuration of the CANio 250 for different applications can be done either by loading configuration data via a CANopen master or by sending configuration messages in a pure CAN network or offline via the free CANio configuration tool. Configurations that have been created with the CANio configuration tool can be saved as a project and on customer request preinstalled on ordered devices before delivery.
Besides the standard version with aluminum housing, IXXAT offers the CANio 250 also as "plug-in" version, which can be easily integrated into customer specific devices due to the small footprint.
Optional, an Application Development Kit is offered for all variants, enabling the easy development of customer specific software applications on the CANio 250/500.
