Whether you need CAN protocol gateways for seamless protocol conversion, CAN-to-fiber converters for long-distance communication, or CAN interface cards for flexible device integration, Moxa has you covered. Dive into our real-world applications below to see how these solutions deliver exceptional performance in a variety of industrial settings.
CAN Protocol Gateways
Ship Integrated Electric Propulsion System
To address environmental concerns, modern marine propulsion systems are increasingly utilizing batteries, requiring reliable communication between bridge devices and PLCs for control. This setup often involves multiple protocols, such as J1939 for batteries, CANopen for intelligent joysticks, and PROFINET for PLCs, necessitating a compact protocol gateway capable of seamless conversion.
Why Moxa
- The MGate 5123 supports J1939 and CANopen for end devices, with conversion to PROFINET for PLC communication.
- Its compact design is ideal for installation in confined electrical cabinets.
- Built-in protocol diagnostics, traffic monitoring, and event logging streamline the integration of diverse systems and simplify troubleshooting.

CAN-to-Fiber Converters
Fire Alarm Systems
The performance of CAN bus communication is limited by baudrate, with higher baudrates reducing communication range. For fire alarm systems spanning multiple buildings, CAN-to-fiber converters are essential to extend communication distances while ensuring reliable acknowledgment (ACK) mechanisms.
Why Moxa
- Supports CAN baudrates up to 1 Mbps and CAN FD baudrates up to 5 Mbps.
- Enables fiber transmission over distances of up to 40 km using single-mode or 2 km using multi-mode fibers to ensure optimal connectivity across large installations.
