BCM-5646-48-1404 (BCM48)

Features Include

  • Freescale MPC 5646 microprocessor
  • Operating Voltage: 6-26 VDC
  • Operating Temperature: -40°C to 85°C
  • 4 CAN / 4 LIN Channels / Ethernet

The BCM-5646-48-1404 functions as a communications gateway controller or general purpose automotive grade rugged controller. It uniquely has 4 CAN, 4 LIN, and embedded Ethernet as well as discrete IO. With an IP67 rating, the BCM-5646-48-1404 is able to withstand rough automotive, marine, and off-road environments. This device is Raptor programmable.

BCM48 Additional Info

Freescale CodeWarrior v2.10 compiler must be used to compile software for the BCM48. This compiler can be found here.

CAN vs. Ethernet

Application

CAN
  • Small scale
  • Great for embedded systems
  • ECU's in vehicles are a great example of effected CAN usage
Ethernet
  • Large scale
  • Perfect for automation and control of fabrication
  • Connecting, controlling and monitoring all the machines within a factory is a great application for Ethernet

Cost

CAN
  • Low cost
  • Small amount of software and hardware required
  • With the small scale applications, CAN is a convenient option
Ethernet
  • Cost effective
  • With ever decreasing costs Ethernet is a feasible option for large scale operations
  • With the large amount of hardware and software required, which leads to unlimited custom options

Specifications

CAN
  • 1 Mbit/sec data transfer rate
  • Useful integrated functions such as:
  • Message collision prevention
  • Error detection
  • Data recovery
Ethernet
  • Up to 1 million times faster than serial communication
  • With the software addons excessively available anything can be added, such as:
  • Incorporated prioritization
  • Data synchronization
  • Error management
