Utilization of eCAN
eCAN can be applied in various areas. There are many applicable areas such as monitoring/control of vehicle
communication modules or production facilities, building automation, operation monitoring/control/data collection of
common equipment, remote control of equipment over the Internet, and control of ships and railways.
CAN Communication Tunneling
By configuring two eCANs as Server-Client Pair, it can simplify the distance limitation of CAN communication and
high cost maintenance. Also, the Ethernet section can utilize various media such as wired section, wireless section
and PPP communication.
