CAN to USB interface works in harsh weather
Kvaser AB has announced a rugged family of controller
area network (CAN) to USB interfaces. Capable of operating
in the harshest environments, including water submersion,
Kvaser's Rugged interfaces have been designed to meet the
needs of engineers performing remote diagnosis or network
troubleshooting in applications such as automotive, mining,
marine, military, oil and gas exploration, military, industrial
and heavy machinery.
These modules made up of corrosion resistant aluminum alloy
housing, and polyurethane coating as sealing to protect
against water, dust, vibration, shock and drop proof. Kvaser's
Rugged range operates over an expanded temperature range
from -40 to +85oC.
Commenting on the announcement, Lars-Berno Fredriksson,
president of Kvaser AB, said: "With the Rugged product
line, we have interfaces that meet the demands of field
engineers working in tough real-life environments, not the
laboratory. Our Rugged interfaces are light and easy to
use, yet are far more durable than competitor products,
which often look tougher than they really are."
