The nanoONYX-CAN is specifically designed for embedded architectures based on CAN (Controller Area Network) networks, which are widely used in military vehicles and land, air and maritime systems.
Based on the latest generation of Intel® processors, it is qualified to DO-160, MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-461 and MIL-STD-1275 standards, ensuring reliable integration into the most demanding embedded environments
Multiple CAN bus interfaces for embedded systems
Part of the nanoONYX SFF computer range, the nanoONYX-CAN features an ultra-compact, passively cooled architecture, whilst incorporating 4 CAN interfaces as standard, expandable to 8 on request. It is therefore ideally suited to the needs of embedded systems requiring reliable real-time communications between multiple devices.
The most compact computer in the nanoONYX range
Designed to operate in the constrained environments and confined spaces typical of embedded systems, it nevertheless perfectly meets the demands of high-performance applications such as drones, robotic platforms and military vehicles, where high-performance computing must be combined with robust fieldbus connectivity in a compact, fanless design.
Thanks to its modular and robust design, the nanoONYX-CAN offers the embedded market a fully MIL-certified and customisable solution, supporting advanced features such as AI processing whilst benefiting from long-term availability and support.
Key features of the nanoONYX-CAN
- Supports a wide range of processors such as the Intel® Atom™ x6425 or Intel® Core™ i7-1185GRE via a Mini-COM Express Type 10 processor module.
- Provides 4 (standard) or 8 (optional) CAN interfaces, enabling reliable real-time communication with multiple sensors, actuators and control systems typically used in drones, robotic platforms and military vehicles.
- Features three expansion slots supporting rugged mPCIe-based AcroPack® I/O modules, offering a wide range of additional interfaces such as Ethernet, ARINC429, DAC, ADC, and many more.
