AUSTIN, Texas -- Motorola Inc. has produced a reference design based on the use of the Controller Area Network (CAN) protocol, the Ethernet LAN, and one of its own ColdFire 32-bit RISC processors, the MCF5272, that supports these communication standards. The reference design, offered for free, is intended to help systems designers employ Ethernet alongside CAN for distributed control applications used in industrial environments, such as textile equipment, paper processors and assembly plants. Connecting CAN and Ethernet together is one way of building a monitor network for factory equipment, the company said. The reference design includes design schematics, an applications note and driver software available for download to registered users from the Motorola web site.
