Karlsruhe - Analytica GmbH presents the latest models of its AnaGate CAN series, which are now fully equipped with the powerful CAN-FD technology. This further development marks a significant step in industrial communication and offers users a multitude of advantages for modern automation and control systems.

Extended data rate and higher efficiency

CAN-FD (Controller Area Network with Flexible Data-Rate) extends the classic CAN protocol with shorter bit times and an increased data field size of up to 64 bytes. This allows up to eight times larger data volumes to be transmitted - ideal for applications with high communication requirements.

Full compatibility and flexible use

All current AnaGate models - including the desktop devices F2, F4, F8, the DIN rail models FX2, FX4, FX8 and the 19-inch variants FZ8 and FZ16 - support both Classic CAN and CAN-FD on 2 to 16 ports. The ports can be configured flexibly, which enables easy integration into existing systems.

Industrial-grade hardware and versatile operating modes

The series is based on a powerful dual ARM Cortex A9 processor (1 GHz) with 512 MB RAM and 4 GB eMMC Flash. The gateways offer various operating modes such as gateway, listen, internal bridge and LAN bridge mode. This allows CAN networks to be addressed transparently via TCP/IP - even across the Internet or several PCs.

Expandability and open platform

Thanks to the integrated Linux platform, you can run your own applications directly on the device. USB interfaces and analog inputs and outputs are also available, making the devices particularly flexible and future-proof.

Conclusion

With the introduction of CAN-FD in all current Anagate models, Analytica is expanding the range of available communication solutions in the industrial environment. The gateways not only offer higher data rates and more flexibility, but also a robust and expandable platform for demanding applications.
