When a vehicle or machine has several CAN-based electronic networks that need to exchange data, using separate gateway modules for each network can increase wiring and system complexity. The MRS Electronics 1.141.300.0001 MicroPlex Gateway Controller combines three CAN FD interfaces, one LIN interface, and local I/O in a very compact controller.
Mrs Electronics 1.141.300.0001, 3CAN 1LIN MicroPlex Gateway Controller
The MicroPlex Gateway Controller is designed to connect and manage communication between multiple CAN-based networks. With three CAN FD interfaces, it can serve as a compact communication gateway where information needs to be exchanged between different electronic control networks within a vehicle or machine.
The controller also includes one LIN interface, providing an additional communication channel for connected LIN devices. Alongside its communication interfaces, it provides two total inputs, including one analog input and one multifunctional input, allowing selected signals to be handled directly by the gateway.
Programming is supported through MRS Applics Studio, while the 32-bit processor architecture provides the controller platform for its gateway and I/O functions. Its 8-32 V operating voltage supports typical low-voltage vehicle and mobile machine electrical systems.
The MicroPlex Gateway Controller is particularly compact, measuring only 30.4 × 23.6 × 25.75 mm. Its PA66GF30 housing and protection up to IP68 allow it to be integrated into space-constrained installations where protection against demanding environmental conditions is required.
With a temperature range of -40 to +85°C, low quiescent current, and ECE R10 and CE markings, the controller provides a compact solution for distributed vehicle and machine communication architectures. Its combination of three CAN FD interfaces, LIN, local inputs, and compact construction makes it suitable for applications requiring communication between multiple electronic control networks.
