The 40-200 is designed to simulate common faults on two
wire communication interfaces such as CAN Bus.
It supports 4 or 8 channels of two wire serial interfaces. Each
channel pair can simulate an open fault in either or both
wires, a short between both wires or a short to one of eight
externally applied fault connections – such as battery supply
or ground - via four fault buses.
Each channel can carry up to 0.3 A and is rated up to 100 V
between wire pairs. The wire pairs have controlled
transmission line impedance suited to most differential
signalling systems, including fast CAN Bus and RS422/485.
The fault buses are capable of carrying 2 A allowing multiple
channels to be connected to the same fault condition.
Additionally, the fault buses have changeover relays allowing
the user to select alternative external fault conditions.
The front panel signal connector is an easy to use 78-pin
D-type which is fully supported by our range of connector
accessories. The module uses high quality EMR relays
designed for telecommunications with a long service life.
