VT6104A
Network Module
The four-channel network module VT6104A is a high-performance interface module for the VT System. As with other VT System modules, faults can be fed onto the signal lines. The module offers high performance and low latency times, because a PCI Express cable is used to connect the network interface to the VT6011/VT6051A real-time module or a PC. If connected to the PC, a PCI Express cable connector (x1) is needed. This may be added to the PC using an appropriate expansion card.
Network Module: VT6104A
Characteristics:
VT6104A
Module Features
- Network interface with four independent channels
- Each channel may be individually configured as a CAN or LIN interface
- Proven, interchangeable Vector CAN/LIN piggies may be used as bus transceivers
- Hardware synchronization of the network interfaces with the VT System
- Relays for line breaks and short circuits between signal lines, to ground or to battery voltage
- Switchable termination resistors
- All channels can be connected by using the internal bus bar
