The HMS Industrial Networks use of bridges and gateways opens up a large number of configuration possibilities. For example, CAN systems can be implemented over a larger area, devices without CAN interfaces can be connected to CAN systems or CAN systems can be coupled using different technologies, such as Bluetooth or Ethernet. CAN bridges can link CAN networks of different bit rates or protocols with each other as well as CAN and CAN FD devices and systems. Bridges are based on the store-(modify)-forward
Cost savings thanks to simplified wiring Allows larger system expansion Filter and conversion functionality Increased system reliability Line protection by galvanic isolation Bridging of large distances and easy system access using Bluetooth, Ethernet and more
