Product Description 6 (24)
4 Product Description
The CANbridge NT is a universal, intelligent CAN topology component, that allows the coupling of
several CAN networks with different baud rates or frame formats in the operational modes
Repeater/Star Coupler and Bridge. The CANbridge NT 420 additionally is capable of CAN FD. CAN
messages are received by one network and transmitted in the other network, according to filter
and implementation rules. The filtering mechanism is based on a list of CAN identifiers. With the
CANbridge NT 420 bridging between Classic CAN and CAN FD is possible.
Operational Modes
• Repeater (NT 200) / Star Coupler (NT 420)
• Bridge
Features
• CANbridge NT 200: 2 x CAN connections, ISO 11898-2 (terminal adapters)
• CANbridge NT 420: 4 x CAN connections, ISO 11898-2 (terminal adapters), via the CANGateway Configurator two connections can be switched between Classic CAN and CAN FD
• 1 x mini USB 2.0 port high-speed, for configuration
• With the CAN-Gateway Configurator a configuration can be created, modified, written to
and read from the target device via USB connection.
• freely configurable baud rates
• automatic baud rate detection
• Classic CAN/CAN FD ID filtering, configured via the configuration tool Ixxat CAN-Gateway
Configurator
• Classic CAN to CAN FD mapping and CAN FD to Classic CAN mapping (with NT 420)
• cyclic transmission of CAN messages
• command line program CANGWfile (available for Windows and Linux)
• action rules via if-this-action-then-that-event functionality
