5 Signs Your CAN Switch Might Be Failing

Recognising the early warning signs of a failing CAN switch is crucial for maintaining reliable industrial network operations. A deteriorating CAN switch typically exhibits five key indicators: communication errors, intermittent connection problems, physical abnormalities, network performance degradation, and device recognition failures. Identifying these symptoms early allows for proactive maintenance, preventing costly downtime and communication failures across your industrial network infrastructure. Understanding these warning signs helps maintain the integrity of your CAN-bus systems and ensures continuous data transmission. A reliable CAN switch serves as the backbone of industrial communication networks, ensuring seamless data exchange between controllers, sensors, and other critical components. […]

What Makes a CAN Switch Ideal for Smart Systems?

A CAN switch is a specialised networking device that optimises Controller Area Network (CAN) bus communications in smart systems by intelligently routing messages between different network segments. These devices are crucial for modern industrial automation and IoT deployments because they eliminate message collisions, reduce network load, and enable more complex system architectures. Unlike basic CAN hubs, a proper CAN switch provides traffic filtering, improved bandwidth utilisation, and enhanced network reliability—making them ideal for smart systems where deterministic performance and fault tolerance are essential requirements. CAN-bus technology has evolved significantly since its introduction by Bosch in the 1980s, transforming from a […]
