ICF-1171I-M-ST

The ICF-1171I Series of CAN-to-fiber converters plays a crucial role in bridging communication gaps between CAN 2.0 or CAN FD devices or networks. These converters operate over both single-mode and multi-mode optical fibers, offering versatility and reliability. Let’s delve into the key features:

1. Seamless Connectivity: When deployed in pairs, the ICF-1171I converters establish a robust link between two CAN 2.0 or CAN FD endpoints. Whether you’re connecting devices within a factory floor or across distant locations, these converters ensure uninterrupted communication.

2. Isolation Protection: With 2-kV isolation protection for the CAN interface, your CANbus system remains shielded from electrical noise and potential ground loops. This protection enhances system stability and reliability.

3. Extended Transmission Distance:

   • Multi-Mode Fiber: Extend the CAN bus transmission distance by up to 2 km using multi-mode fiber.
   • Single-Mode Fiber: Achieve even greater reach—up to 40 km—when utilizing single-mode fiber. Regardless of the CAN baudrate, the ICF-1171I converters maintain reliable communication.

4. Adaptive Baudrate Handling:

   • Automatic Detection: When connecting two CAN 2.0 devices with varying baudrates, the ICF-1171I converters automatically detect the baudrate of the connected device. No manual configuration is required.
   • User Convenience: Users need not be aware of the specific baudrate of the connected CAN 2.0 device. The converters adapt seamlessly, simplifying deployment.

5. Predefined Baudrate Settings:

   • For scenarios where manual configuration is necessary, the converters feature rotary switches. Users can set predefined baudrates effortlessly.

6. Efficient Troubleshooting:

   • LED Indicators: The ICF-1171I converters come equipped with LEDs that provide real-time status information:
     • Fiber link state
     • Fiber communication status
     • CAN bus state
     • CAN bus communication status
   • Quickly identify issues and streamline troubleshooting.

In summary, the ICF-1171I Series ensures reliable, extended, and adaptive communication for your CANbus system. Whether you’re extending network boundaries or enhancing inter-network connectivity, these converters offer a robust solution.
