Wireless CAN: Optical bridge for CAN

Wiring of cables may be problematic or even impossible in automation systems like rotating machineries or when electric isolation between two parts of a machine is needed.

To face such problems, System Electronics has implemented a CAN network bridge using wireless technology (IR).
CANbus Optical Bridge is completely transparent and fully simulates a chunk of CAN cable, that is application programmer doesn't need to know whether connection is done using standard cable or the optical bridge.

The bridge consists of two small round boards mounting the IR transceivers and LEDs, the connector for the CAN network cable and some electronics.
