Selig has introduced the X2E Automotive Ethernet Converter, designed to convert Ethernet signals from a car's ECU for connectivity to a PC or data logger. The device converts data between 100/1000Base-T1 (OPEN Alliance Broadr-Reach) and 100/1000Base-T(standard Ethernet). It can also be applied to any other industrial application where this conversion is necessary.
If there is no activity on the connected CAN bus, the device CAN go into a configurable sleep mode to reduce power consumption and wake up when the CAN bus activity resumes. The converter also provides the function of a high-speed CAN transceiver.
The basic configuration setting is that the LED transmits information about the converter and the active state of the connected interface through the selection of a dip switch.
Rugged 4.1 "x 2.2" x 0.83 "aluminum housing, supplied from 6V to 28V, has a maximum current consumption of 150mA at 12V and a maximum standby current of 1mA.
