The 3636R can be used for mobile computing, machine control and test applications. Both CAN bus interface modules have two channels with optional isolation. Each channel has an NXP SJA1000 CAN controller and a TJA1041 transceiver. Extended temperature models support -40 to 85°C operation. Modules are available in dozens of Industrial Packages (IP) and IOS modules that provide a wide range of analogue, digital, and serial I/O processing. Reconfigurable FPGA modules allow users to execute custom logic routines and algorithms on TTL, differential or LVDS I/O signals.

The 3636R modules all use the NXP SJA1000 CAN controller and high-speed TJA1041 transceiver. The advantage of this design is that it allows bus fault conditions to be reported directly from the transceiver. It is also able to transmit, receive and perform message filtering on extended and standard messages. These modules support CAN 2.0B protocol compatibility and ISO 11898 compliance for both Part A (11-bit) and Part B Extended (29-bit) arbitration IDs.The PeliCAN Mode Extension provides a wide range of communication capabilities. The isolation option eliminates ground loop potentials and protects equipment from electrical noise, surges, and spikes.
