Microprocessor Modules suits in-vehicle applications.

Press Release Summary:




Solid-state CANLink models CL-103/202/302/303/414/416 can be used either in multiplexed CAN systems or to operate less complex equipment or dedicated systems with their single board controller capabilities. Along with multiple I/Os to handle various vehicle functions, compact products feature NEMA-4 rated Deutsch box package and boards with silicone coating for water/moisture protection. PCBs are 4 layers for EMI/EMF protection.

More Control Power in Less Space



(Hartford, WI) - HED, Inc., the experts in controlled area network (CAN) technology recently added to their CANLink family of controls a group of very compact solid-state microprocessor modules that offer an array of application possibilities. These modules can be used either in a multiplexed CAN system or have single board controller (SBC) capabilities to operate less complex equipment or for dedicated systems.

With their space-saving size these modules give designers a large number of I/O's to handle a number of vehicle functions. Yet their lower cost, light weight and compactness makes these components ideal for providing operational control in a variety of vehicles.

For demanding off-road applications their rugged NEMA-4 rated Deutsch box package enables them to perform with total reliability. To make these modules field rugged, the printed circuit boards are four layers for high EMI/EMF protection. Boards are conformal coated with a silicone coating for water/moisture protection.

The new modules include:

CL-103 (3) J1939 ports, (2) RS232 ports, (1) J1708 port, (1)) USB port, optional (2) analog inputs, optional
CL-202 (14) switch-to-battery inputs, (4) switch-to-ground harness codes, (1) input that can be configured switch-to-battery or frequency input, (1) input that can be configured switch-to-battery or resistive dependant sensor input, (1) J1939 CAN input
L-302 (8) sinking 500 milliamp digital outputs, (8) sinking 500 milliamp PWM outputs, (4) switch-to-ground harness codes inputs, J1939 CAN input. Can be used in a multiplexed system or as a SBC.
CL-303 (8) seven amp PWM outputs, (2) switch-to-ground harness code inputs, (2) inputs that can be used as switch-to-battery or switch-to-ground harness codes, (1) switch-to-ground input, (1) J1939 CAN input. Optional LED's for input or output status. Can be used in a multiplexed system or as a SBC.
CL-414 (8) sinking 500 milliamp digital outputs, (8) switch-to-battery inputs, (4) switch-to-ground harness code inputs, (1) J1939 CAN input. Optional LED's for input or output status. Can be used in a multiplexed system or as a SBC.
CL-416 (4) switch-to-ground or harness codes, (4) switch-to-battery or 10 bit A/D's, (2) switch-to-battery or 10 bit A/D's, (2) switch-to-ground oor 10 bit A/D's, (1) J1939 CAN input. Optional LED's for input or output status. Can be used in a multiplexed system or as a SBC.

Another feature that adds versatility to the design process is these modules interface with the new HED configurator software. Now design engineers working for equipment manufacturers can more easily program routines handled by these modules, giving them the flexibility to respond to either the demands of the customer or of the application.
