CAN-Bus Communication Module 2G5-48
The flexible solution for operating voltage ranges up to 60V
As the electrification and digitalization of modern commercial vehicles progresses, the demands on their electronic architecture are constantly growing. Besonders im Umfeld robuster Especially in the field of robust 48V on-board electrical systems, which are used more and more in construction, agricultural and special vehicles, high-performance interfaces that enable the reliable and flexible connection of sensors and actuators are in demand. This is precisely where the 2G5-48 CAN I/O module from miunske comes in, as it acts as an intelligent interface between decentralized peripheral devices and the central vehicle control system. The following blog post describes the scope offered by the CAN I/O module 2G5/48 when designing electrical vehicle architectures.
More performance thanks to 48V technology in the vehicle
With increasing demand for power-intensive electrical components, such as electrically operated hydraulics, compressors or cable winches, 12V and 24V electrical systems are increasingly reaching their physical limits. 48V systems allow a power output up to four times higher with the same current flow and at the same time reduce cable cross-sections and power losses. miunske® makes it possible to utilize the advantages of such a system by integrating a 48V I/O module and to establish a 2nd on-board voltage level in the vehicle with the 2G5-48. This offers vehicle manufacturers more options when selecting components, as not only can components with 12/24V be used in the 48V vehicle electrical system, but 48V components can also be operated in the 12/24V vehicle electrical system. For commercial vehicle manufacturers, this means less cabling, greater energy efficiency and a decisive step towards partially electrified powertrains or auxiliary units.
The hardware behind the CAN I/O Modul 2G5-48
12 inputs and outputs offer extra performance and application options. In detail:
Customers who require a modified hardware version can request their specific configurations directly.
Compact, robust, expandable - perfect for use in commercial and special vehicles
The space-optimized 2G5-48 was specifically developed for use in 12/24 and 48V on-board power supply systems. Thanks to its robust housing, it provides reliable protection against dirt, moisture and vibration, which are typical influencing factors in commercial vehicles. In addition to a screwed version, a potted version is also available for special requirements. The flexible mounting options via mounting brackets or on a top-hat rail simplify the integration into the vehicle. In accordance with the expansion and modularity approach, the CAN I/O module 2G5-48 can also be expanded with fuse holders and relay sockets at the designated lugs.
Customers can find an overview of all the technical details and benefits of the CAN I/O module 2G5-48 in the product sheet available for download.
Software customization of CAN I/O Modules
Options for integrating the CAN I/O 2G5-48 module into the existing electronic architecture of vehicles
Customers can easily adapt the functions of the CAN I/O module 2G5-48 to their individual needs. There are three options available for this: the CANopen user interface, the FlexGUI parameterization interface of the miunske-toolchain or via API programming.
The development and support will be pleased to assist customers with the integration of the module as well as with parameterization and programming.
48V components validated in the high-current laboratory
For quality made by miunske –made in Germany
Extensive tests and trials are required to ensure that electronic components with safety-relevant functions work flawlessly in the event of an unexpected situation.
The validation of 48 V components takes place in our own high-current laboratory, which enables to test the hardware for the respective power range. In this way, we can guarantee that CAN I/O modules 2G5-48 meet the requirements for overload, short-circuit and overtemperature resistance. As a result, safe use in 48V systems is unrestricted. Quality made by miunske!
CAN I/O modules a necessity for innovative commercial vehicles
Thanks to their technical features and their intelligent and adaptable communication structure, CAN-I/O modules, especially CANopen-capable I/O modules of the 2G5-48V series, offer a future-proof solution for the growing challenges in vehicle construction, especially in the field of electric and hybrid vehicles. Flexibility provides a competitive advantage. For miunske®, this is just as much an approach to product development as the variety of possible application scenarios. Whether bodies for commercial vehicles or mobile machinery, autonomous transport and logistics vehicles or municipal machinery, with miunske you will find the right product for the right vehicle system. In addition to I/O modules for on-board voltages in this area, there are a number of other 48V products that could be of interest for the development of commercial vehicles and mobile machinery. The technical sales department will be pleased to provide comprehensive advice.
