NXI-1401-2
CAN-LAN Converter
Isolated 2-channel CAN-LAN converter module NXI-1401-2 with 2000VDC isolation.
The NXI-1401-2 is a communication converter module designed to transform standard CAN protocol into Ethernet protocol data. A single module provides two channels featuring inter-channel electrical isolation. The CAN ports are equipped with 2000VDC voltage isolation to ensure system safety during testing operations. This module supports CAN2.0A/B specifications with adjustable baud rates ranging from 5kbps to 1Mbps. It features a built-in 120 Ohm termination resistor that can be optionally accessed by the user. Power is supplied via a 12V DC input with a current consumption of less than 0.5A. Typical applications include automotive electronics testing, BMS verification, and industrial control systems. The single-slot module is suitable for use within NXI-F series chassis or for independent operation.
