The CAN switch is a new approach to divide single logical network into multiple physical networks like Ethernet switch. Star and mixed topologies are supported at all baud rates. Dividing single bus into several independent collision- and error-domains.
Applications
TCS-10 can be used for dividing single bus into several independent collision- and error-domains. Filtering capabilities provide possibility to reduce the bus load of single bus branch. Maximum coverage of a bus can be efficiently extended by TCS-10 without limiting the baud rate. It is also possible to run different buses at different baud rates.
Management features
TCS-10 has management features offering both HW and SW filtering of incoming messages and message-wise definition into which target ports incoming messages will be forwarded. Baud rate of each port can be configured independently. Standard CANopen tools can be used in management.
Onboard Diagnostics
TCS-10 provides error messaging into management port on most common bus errors and internal errors. Typically the configuration port is connected to one of the switching ports.
Message forwarding
Standard 11-bit switch firmware supports CAN data- and RTR-frames with 11-bit ID only. If 29-bit ID support is needed that is added to Standard 29-bit switch firmware. Messages are forwarded “as is” to the target ports. No decoding of messages to CAN-ID, DLC and data bytes is done. The maximum forwarding delay without effect of arbitration in the target bus is 300µs with maximum configuration.
