Distributed CAN module is an Electronic Control Unit (ECU), sensor, or other microprocessor-based control, also known as a node, in a CAN network. These devices provide a quick and accurate exchange of information to enhance the function and performance of systems and subsystems in a vehicle without complex wiring. By placing distributed CAN modules in…

What is an H-Bridge Module?   H-bridge module is a circuit for reversing DC loads in electric platforms. It provides motor control in the form of a simple circuit with four switches, either transistors or metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs). The switches in the H-bridge are calculated to control the current flow direction through the load. This…

Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTD) Input Modules are sensors that measure temperature changes as resistance changes. It converts resistance changes from the sensor into temperature information, while providing accurate signal conversion and data transmission across off-highway and industrial equipment. They are built for the harsh environments across applications in the off-highway and industrial equipment.  Key Performance…
