ETL CAN Hitch

J1939 CAN Bridge

Description

The Electrans Technologies (ETL) CAN Hitch - J1939 CAN Bridge - is a compact and powerful dual-channel CAN interface. It is engineered to act as a link to hitch together two independent CAN bus systems. Built around a powerful automotive-grade microcontroller and two independent CAN transceivers, the ETL CAN Hitch provides a reliable hardware foundation for a wide range of applications. From truck to trailer or machine to control hub. The entire electronic assembly is fully encapsulated in Black Rigid Urethane, creating a solid, sealed, and vibration-resistant module for maximum reliability in harsh environments.

Applications

Seamless Integration (for system integration and diagnostics)
Off-Highway and Agricultural Machinery (e.g. tractors, construction equipment)
Industrial Automation and Control Systems (for bridging factory floor networks)
Mobile Robotics and Autonomous Systems (e.g. AGVs, delivery robots)
