Description
A straightforward method to integrate multiple CIM communication loops into a unified global infrastructure.
The CIM-Link is a TCP/IP companion module that combines various CIM CAN Bus communication loops into a singular global infrastructure, enhancing global communication flexibility. This module extends CAN Bus-based ACU-to-ACU communication through a common LAN/WAN network, broadening system design possibilities by expanding ACU functionality across multiple independent CAN Bus global networks using the common TCP/IP infrastructure.
Ground Loop Tolerance
Enhances electrical isolation to earth ground, providing resilience against ground loops.
Enhanced Diagnostics
Offers extensive communication diagnostics with on-board LEDs for efficient, device-based troubleshooting.
Network Adaptation
Utilizes a plug-on TCP/IP network adapter for seamless integration.
TCP/IP Tunneling
Ensures seamless and continuous communication between CIM-Links.
Network Support
Enables global functions between multiple groups of ACU panels or a single ACU panel over existing LAN/WAN networks.
Global Communication
Leveraging the CAN Bus network, CIM-Link provides robust global communication capabilities. Access Control Units (ACUs) with direct connectivity to the CAN Bus network now facilitate ACU-to-ACU communication without relying on a server.
Ribbon Cable
Employs a user-friendly ribbon cable for rapid installation.
Fault Tolerance
Unlike conventional communication devices, if one CIM-Link experiences issues, the entire loop isn’t compromised. The CAN Bus communication protocol maintains uninterrupted communication for the remaining devices on the CAN Bus network.
