The Protocol Converter comes pre-programmed with standard protocol conversion logic for bidirectional data exchange between Ethernet (proprietary TCP communications), a RS-422 bus, two RS-232 buses and a CAN network (SAEJ1939). Data is forwarded “as-is” between the different serial ports. Also, CAN / Ethernet data is forwarded directly to serial interfaces with the configuration allowing the user to specify the CAN message ID (or TCP port) to listen for data to be forwarded. The module is IP67 rated for rugged vehicle environments.
