CAN4VSCP based products
CAN4VSCP modules are designed to work on a bus based system (CAN) which use
ordinary RJ-45 connectors and is powered with 9-28V DC over the same cable.
This means there is no need for a separate power cable. All that is needed is
a CAT5 or better twisted pair cable. Bus length can be a maximum of 500 meters
with drops of maximum 24 meters length (up to a total of 120 meters). As for all
CAN4VSCP modules the communication speed is fixed at 125 kbps.
All modules can be fitted to a DIN rail or be mounter to any flat surface.
All VSCP modules contains information of there own setup, manual, hardware
version, manufacturer etc. You just ask the module for the information you need
and you will get it.
When they are started up they have a default
functionality that often is all that is needed to get a working setup. If the
module have something to report it will send you an event and if it is setup to
react on a certain type of event it will do it's work when you send event(s) to it.
