CAN Bus Controllers

STW’s CAN Bus controllers have been especially designed for the harsh environments of off-highway work. Our controllers are widely used in a variety of applications ranging from agricultural and military vehicles to oil and gas and mining equipment. Though rugged and highly reliable, our controllers are freely programmable with a unique architecture that allows you to easily expand I/O, CAN bus connectivity and memory.

Our freely programmable controllers are designed with a base configuration for I/O and CAN bus, but their unique ‘babyboard’ (expansion board) architecture allows them to be tailored to your requirements for very specific configurations of I/O.  This allows you to minimize unused capacity and maximize cost efficiency.

Types of CAN Bus Controllers

Freely programmable controllers: can be programmed independently with programming languages C or CoDeSys or (ESX-3XL) with Matlab/Simulink

I/O Module CAN bus Controllers: slave modules that communicate with the CANOpen communication protocol
