Description

The Waveshare CAN FD Protocol Converter is a high-performance industrial communication module that bridges CAN bus networks with Ethernet infrastructure. It utilizes advanced protocol conversion logic to handle both high-speed CAN FD (up to 5 Mbps data rate) and legacy CAN 2.0A/2.0B frames, enabling seamless data exchange between embedded controllers, sensors, and supervisory systems over standard TCP/IP networks.

Housed in a rugged aluminium extrusion with DIN-rail mounting, the converter is built for durability in demanding settings such as factory automation and electric vehicle charging stations. Its wide operating voltage and temperature range ensure stable performance, while integrated ESD protection and selectable termination resistors simplify installation and enhance network integrity.

Key Features

  • High-speed bidirectional conversion between CAN FD/CAN 2.0 and 10/100 Mbps Ethernet.
  • Five configurable data conversion modes for flexible network integration.
  • Industrial-grade power supply range from 9V to 36V DC for compatibility with various power rails.
  • Extended operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C for harsh environment deployment.
  • Robust aluminium extrusion enclosure with integrated DIN-rail mounting bracket.
  • Built-in, selectable dual 120 Ω CAN bus termination resistors configurable via DIP switch.
  • Comprehensive ESD protection (8 kV air discharge, 6 kV contact discharge) for enhanced reliability.
  • Auto-MDI/MDIX Ethernet interface supports both straight and crossover cable connections.

Applications

  • Industrial automation networks for bridging machine tool CANopen networks to plant-wide SCADA systems.
  • Battery Management System (BMS) monitoring and data logging in electric vehicle and energy storage installations.
  • Automotive diagnostic and test bench systems requiring high-speed CAN FD data capture over Ethernet.
  • Smart city infrastructure integrating traffic signal controllers (CAN-based) with central management servers.
  • Building automation for connecting HVAC, lighting, or elevator controllers to IP-based building management systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the five data conversion modes supported by this converter?

The converter supports modes like transparent transmission (raw frame forwarding), protocol conversion (translating CAN frames to TCP/UDP packets), and other configurable formats for mapping CAN identifiers to IP addresses/ports. Specific mode details are configured via the included software or web interface to suit the network architecture.

How do I terminate the CAN bus when using this module?

The module has built-in, selectable 120 Ω termination resistors. A DIP switch on the device allows you to enable or disable these resistors. For a standard two-node CAN bus, enable termination at both ends. For multi-node networks, typically only the two farthest nodes require termination.

What is the power supply requirement for this CAN FD converter?

It requires a DC power supply between 9V and 36V. This wide range makes it compatible with common industrial 12V or 24V power rails. Ensure the power source can provide sufficient current, typically a few hundred milliamps, and use the supplied power plug adapter or connect directly to terminal blocks as specified.

Can this module connect to both CAN FD and legacy CAN 2.0 devices?

Yes, it is fully compatible with both CAN FD (Flexible Data-rate) and classic CAN 2.0A/2.0B protocols. The device automatically handles the different frame formats and data rates, allowing seamless communication between modern high-speed CAN FD networks and older CAN 2.0-based sensors or controllers on the same bus.
