Ethernet to CAN Server from NetBurner is Fully Customizable

Bridging Embedded Ethernet and Controller Area Network (CAN)

SAN DIEGO - September 22, 2006 - NetBurner has introduced its first product specifically targeted at providing developers with a platform for interfacing Embedded Ethernet to Control Area Networks (CAN).  This low-cost and high-performance device targets the most demanding and cost sensitive applications. 

Embedded Ethernet to CAN Bridge
This fully customizable platform is based on the 32-bit Freescale Semiconductor MCF5234.  Running at 147Mhz, the NetBurner CB34-EX provides a fully customizable Ethernet to CAN bridge using the NetBurner development kit.  Designed for industrial serial to Ethernet applications, the CB34EX can be mounted directly on a DIN rail or used as a stand alone external CAN to Ethernet bridge. 

NetBurner has made a business out of simplifying the implementation of embedded Ethernet products. The NetBurner solution provides fully functional hardware, an integrated development environment, a rich library of network API functions and deployment tools. Together, these features ease the development process enabling shorter time to market.

Developers can use a complete set of example projects as a starting point for the end application, or they can use the project wizard to create a blank network-enabled project. The deployment tools enable over-the-network debugging, field upgrades and module diagnostics.

Deployment tool features include network IP address configuration, flash programming and real-time operating system (RTOS) task status reporting. The full-featured TCP/IP stack, RTOS, Web server, C/C++ compiler and deployment tools are included at no additional cost.

The CB34-EX is available September 15th, 2006, at a price of $239USD in single piece quantity.
