The C8702 is the controller card which is always necessary to operate the C8000 frames. The C8702 can come with an SNMP option to be integrated in an SNMP monitoring chain. The communication with the C8000 modules is done via the CAN bus, i.e. the Frame Controller “talks” to the C8000 modules via CAN bus while external applications communicate via TCP/IP over Ethernet with the C8702. The CAN bus is a simple two-wire differential serial bus, it operates in noisy electrical environments with a high level of data integrity. Its open architecture and user-definable transmission medium make it extremely flexible. Capable of high-speed (1 Mbits/s) data transmission over short distances (40 m) and low-speed (5 Kbits/s) transmissions at lengths of up to 10,000 m, the multi-master CAN bus is highly fault tolerant, with powerful error detection and handling designed in.
