Texas Instruments (TI) has claimed the industry's first commercially-available controller area network (CAN) extended data-field length (XL) transceiver for industrial systems including humanoid robots, industrial robots, and HMI systems that require more data at faster speeds. The TCAN6062 CAN XL transceiver supports payloads up to 2,048 bytes per frame and data rates as high as 20 Mbits/s and ensures that priority messages are delivered first and on time. The TCAN6062 is backward compatible with CAN flexible data rate (FD) and CAN signal improvement capability (SIC), enabling a seamless migration in existing designs. It also allows engineers to consolidate communication layers and use Ethernet in mixed-network architectures with Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) tunneling. This enables efficient transfers of diagnostics, sensor data, control traffic, and over-the-air updates on a single network, TI said. TI said as industrial systems generate more data, demand higher speeds, and require fast, deterministic communication to synchronize motion control, sensor feedback, and diagnostic data, these applications demand new networking requirements. This often results in system-level tradeoffs to compensate for bandwidth constraints, according to the company. The TCAN6062 CAN XL transceiver bridges that gap with a ready-to-use solution for next-generation...
