Digital filters allow desired messages to flow from one network to the other despite differences in baud rate. This allows the bridge module to act as a node on each network while also serving as a bridge between networks.
A key feature of M-Flex CAN Bridge modules is the ability to filter messages passed between the two networks. Filters are available for each channel that can be configured to pass or block messages based upon the entire CAN ID, J1939 PGN or J1939 Source Address. This provides a simple, efficient means of bus load management and optimizing network performance effortlessly.
The baud rates and filters are configured using Marlin’s M-Flex CAN Bridge User Interface software that is available for download. Optionally, Marlin can program your default configuration into modules prior to shipment.
M-Flex CAN Bridge modules were designed specifically for severe duty, outdoor mobile applications and can handle any element. Typical applications include the construction, turf care, agriculture, utility, marine, military, and outdoor power equipment markets. Experience seamless network integration and robust performance with M-Flex CAN Bridge modules.
