CAN Protocol Gateways
Ship Integrated Electric Propulsion System
System Requirement
- To address environmental concerns, modern marine propulsion systems are incorporating batteries, requiring the connection of devices between the bridge and the propulsion system to the PLC for control.
- The devices are using various protocols, such as J1939 (battery), intelligent joysticks (CANopen), and PLC (PROFINET), which require protocol conversions.
- Because of limited space in the electrical cabinet, the protocol gateway must be smaller.
Why Moxa
- The MGate 5123 is flexible, supporting J1939 or CANopen for end devices and converting to PROFINET for PLC.
- Compact design to fit in limited installation spaces.
- Integration of heterogeneous systems is sped up with built-in protocol diagnostics, traffic monitoring, and event logging for efficient troubleshooting.

CAN-to-fiber Converters
Fire Alarm System
System Requirement
- Baudrates limit CAN bus communication distances. The higher the baudrate, the shorter the communication distance. CAN-to-fiber converters extend communication distances of fire panels between buildings.
- The ACK mechanism of the CAN-to-fiber converter is a must.
-
Why Moxa?
- Supports CAN baudrate up to 1 Mbps and CAN FD baudrate up to 5 Mbps; fiber transmission distance can be extended up to 40 km using single-mode, or 2 km using multi-mode

CAN Interface Cards
Heart-lung Machine System
System Requirement
- A medical components provider is using CAN interface for reliability and effectiveness, especially for heart-lung machines
- Most medical equipment uses Industrial PC to integrate the device and develop application, and might involve modular design
- The medical machine cabinet space is constraint
Why Moxa
- Machine Maker can insert Moxa CAN card into the box-type IPC to easily integrate the CAN interface on their IPC system.
- Moxa’s commitment to developing drivers that support various IPC OS ensures customers can easily integrate CAN cards into their systems regardless of the OS types, legacy or modern platforms.
