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.
