CAN Protocol Gateways

Ship Integrated Electric Propulsion System
System Requirement
  • To address environmental concerns, modern marine propulsion systems are incorporating batteries, requiring the connection of devices between the bridge and the propulsion system to the PLC for control.
  • The devices are using various protocols, such as J1939 (battery), intelligent joysticks (CANopen), and PLC (PROFINET), which require protocol conversions.
  • Because of limited space in the electrical cabinet, the protocol gateway must be smaller.
Why Moxa
  • The MGate 5123 is flexible, supporting J1939 or CANopen for end devices and converting to PROFINET for PLC.
  • Compact design to fit in limited installation spaces.
  • Integration of heterogeneous systems is sped up with built-in protocol diagnostics, traffic monitoring, and event logging for efficient troubleshooting.
