The RO-CAN-R/M-16-64 module is available in versions with 16/32/64 outputs. For the outputs you can choose between the versions relay 1A, or MOSFET 2A. It has a CAN interface with open CAN protocol and allows, with the help of our automatic RX/TX mode, to receive or send CAN packets independently within a network.

Digital Outputs
Relais 1A
With the option “Relay outputs (1A)” reed relays with normally open (NO) function are used. They are suitable for smaller switching capacities of up to 1A and have a service life of well over 100 million switching cycles. The electrical isolation between input and output circuit is up to 1.5kV.
MOSFET 2A
With the option “Optocoupler outputs (2A)” P-Ch MOSFETs are used. They are suitable for switching capacities up to 2A DC and are practically wear-free.
Fail-safe mode
The fail-safe mode is a safety function in which the DEDITEC module switches to a previously configured, safe switching state in the event of a connection failure.
This is intended to prevent connected installations or systems from continuing to run in an uncontrolled manner.
Three switching states can be defined for each digital output: a) Switched off, b) Switched on or c) Unchanged.
The fail-safe circuit is triggered by a timeout protection function. If the control unit no longer receives any commands from the control PC within a previously defined period of time, the timeout function comes into effect. The cause of a timeout can be a loss of connection between the control PC and the DEDITEC control system or failure of the control PC.
Timeout modes
Three timeout modes are available:
A) “Normal mode” is valid once and must be reactivated manually by software command after each timeout event. The customer application still has access to all controller outputs.
B) In “Auto reactivate mode”, the timeout function is automatically reactivated after communication with the control PC has been re-established. The customer application still has access to all outputs of the control unit.
C) The “Secure outputs mode” blocks access to the outputs after the timeout event. Unlocking can only be carried out by software command. This is an important safety aspect
Automatic send and receive mode
Use our Auto RX/TX mode and automate the workflow of your DEDITEC product by independently processing or sending CAN packets from or to other participants in the network. With our free tool “CAN Configuration Utility” you can define via a graphical user interface how the RX and TX packets should be processed. For example, you can read the values of an A/D converter and send them to a CAN module with D/A output.
Different configuration modes
The RO-CAN interface can be configured in three different ways and is selected via DIP switches:
The preferred mode with preset CAN default values, a DIP switch mode where all CAN specifications can be set via DIP switches or a software mode where the setup can be easily defined via our CAN Configuration Utility.
LEDs
Each digital input and output has a separate LED that lights up when the signal state is active. Furthermore, the status of the operating voltage, the communication with the interface, error events or the occurrence of a timeout can be displayed.
Connectors
A screwless system from the manufacturer WAGO Kontakttechnik is used as the connector. The 1-wire female connectors are 100% protected against mismating and have an eject and locking mechanism. All conductor types up to 1.5mm² can be connected.
