CAN-LIN Gateway ECU

SKU #: MA-CAN-LIN-GW-ECU, MA-CAN-LIN-GW-ECU-CANFD

Compact ECU with Dual CAN/CAN FD, LIN, and Multi-Purpose I/O

The control unit is fully configurable and can be used as a stand-alone data converter between a CAN/CAN FD network and a LIN bus, or as a remote I/O module to interface sensors and actuators to CAN and LIN systems. The control unit supports both SAE J1939 and raw CAN protocols, and is suitable for mobile and stationary applications in harsh automotive and industrial environments.

The ECU Configurator (MA-GW-ECU-CONFIG-TOOL) PC application enables simple configuration of the ECU over CAN bus. The user can set ECU’s mode, communication channels’ parameters, inter-channel frame conversion (frame mappings), and I/O mappings. The configuration is stored in the device’s non-volatile memory.

  • Data conversion between CAN, CAN FD and LIN buses
  • One CAN channel
  • One optional CAN FD channel
  • One LIN channel
  • SAE J1939 support
  • Configurable frame and data routing between channels
  • Up to seven multi-purpose inputs and outputs with current measurement
  • Configurable I/O mapping onto CAN or LIN frame data
  • PC tool for easy configuration
  • Waterproof automotive-grade ECU
  • Suitable for 12 V and 24 V systems
  • ECE-R10 (E1) approval (planned for 2021/Q4)
  • Customization on request

Usage Examples:

  • CAN-LIN bridge
  • CAN – CAN FD gateway
  • Remote I/O ECU
  • Universal SAE J1939 ECU
