Kvaser Air Bridge M12

Kvaser Air Bridge M12 is a small, yet advanced, wireless CAN bridge device that can be used to form a CAN system bridge, when paired with any other Kvaser Air Bridge M12 device and to create connectivity between two or more CAN networks. This radio solution can be used to connect CAN based control systems and test equipment in scenarios and situations where it is desirable to replace cabling and related parts.

The Kvaser Air Bridge M12 is designed for ease of use, while retaining a certain flexibility for the user by means of configuration including optimized CAN bus parameters and CAN message filtering. The pairing feature enables the user to choose between ’one to one’, and ’one to any’ constellations.

With uniquely low and predictable latency compared to other wireless technologies and a highly robust signal even at long range, the Kvaser Air Bridge M12 is well-suited for control tasks in remote-control applications with systems that require rapid response.

The Kvaser Air Bridge M12 employs an advanced proprietary 2.4GHz wireless protocol based on frequency hopping with diversity and multiple access mechanisms that provide two different pairing methods. This makes it ideal for more advanced systems which also can benefit from built-in supervision of the wireless link and a unique feature that can transfer application specific context in conjunction with the pairing procedure. An innovative system integrator can thereby develop his own proprietary solutions for autonomous systems and enhancement of the pairing access feature to mention only a few of the vast range of possibilities.

The Kvaser Air Bridge Utility CLI enables a user to commission Kvaser Air Bridge M12 devices in a simple and straight-forward fashion.
