Axiomtek's iCON-101 Series of Industrial Converters Give You an Excellent Instant CAN Connectivity


With iCON-101CS CAN to RS-232/422/485 converter and iCON-101CU CAN to USB converter, users can control or monitoring CAN devices and easily implement CAN network

Taipei, Taiwan- Axiomtek presents iCON-101CS CAN to RS-232/422/485 converter and iCON-101CU CAN to USB converter to provide a fast, simple way to connect CAN devices to PC or programmable devices with USB or RS-232/422/485 interface. The iCON-101CS and iCON-101CU use a 9-pin male D-Sub (DB9) connector to interface to CAN. The CAN port is isolated with 3KV isolation and the maximum CAN data rate is 1Mbps. Front-facing LEDs give a friendly visual indication of the CAN status for users. DIN-rail mounting allows the iCON-101CS and iCON-101CU to be used in a variety of applications. Both converters support a wide operating temperature range from -40°C to +70°C. The rugged iCON-101CS and iCON-101CU are suitable for CAN network control and monitoring applications in industrial automation and power automation fields.

"CAN is becoming an important factor in automated industry. With Axiomtek's smart iCON-101 series of industrial CAN converters, the wiring is easy to do and the reliability and fault detection also can be improved. Users can benefit greatly from easier wiring, greater ease of control, and more economic," said Ethan Wang, Product Manager of Product & Marketing Division at Axiomtek.

iCON-101CU: 1-port CAN to USB Industrial Converter

The iCON-101CU is a cost-efficient industrial grade converter for pairs to PC using the standard USB interface. The device supports CAN monitor tool and displays the CAN message received in Decimal or HEX mode. This converter shows the time stamp of each receiving message. The GUI management program and programming guide both are ready for use. The CAN host, monitor or HMI can access & control CAN device through iCON-101CU. Operating systems support includes Windows® 98/ME/2000/XP.

iCON-101CS: 1-port CAN to RS-232/422/485 Industrial Converter
