This CAN bridge allows message sharing across three bus networks, giving more ability to segregate messages on different CAN Bus networks including protecting against cyber-security intrusions. As machines get more complex and connected, there are many more sensors and messages, and segregated networks allow maintenance of bus loads at the desired 35-40% level.

Product Overview
The Three‑Channel CAN Bridge is a robust, secure solution designed to manage and control message flow across three independent CAN bus networks. As modern machines become more connected and data‑dense, this device enables intelligent network segmentation to maintain optimal CAN bus load levels—typically 35–40%—while enhancing system reliability and performance.
With 64 configurable filters per channel, users can precisely determine which messages are passed or blocked between networks, supporting both performance optimization and cyber‑security protection. The bridge can be configured to fully segregate critical CAN traffic, helping safeguard systems against unauthorized communication and supporting compliance with emerging regulations such as the EU Cyber Resilience Act.
Built for harsh environments, the unit features fully encapsulated electronics, an IP67 rating, and support for 12V or 24V systems. It operates at 250, 500, or 1000 kbps and uses Deutsch DT‑style connectors for secure, automotive‑grade connections. Configuration is handled through Marlin’s Programming Tool, offering flexibility across a wide range of applications.
Ideal for marine, construction, utility, refuse, agriculture, and R&D applications, this CAN bridge future‑proofs your system by enabling secure, segmented network architectures today—before regulations and complexity demand it.
