10. Frequently Asked Questions

1. On what networks do the WRC CANX and CANR work?

The WRC CANX and CANR function with DeviceNet, CANopen, J1939, SDS and other CAN 2.0,
Part A and Part B networks. If you don’t see your network listed here contact WRC for more
information on your network compatibility.

2. What’s the difference between WRC-CANX-xx and WRC-CANR-xx product families?

The primary difference between the two different extender families is the way in which the CAN
messages travel. The WRC CANX handles all message transfer internally, while the WRC CANR
sends the messages across a fiber link.

The WRC-CANX-xx family is a group of single unit CANbus extenders. The unit receives a CAN

message on one side and transmits it, without processing or modifying the message, on the
other side. It is one unit with two CANbus connectors, one for each “network side.”

The WRC-CANR-xx is a set of two CANbus extenders. The first unit receives CAN messages

and transmits them over a fiber link to the other extender, which receives them, then
reproduces the messages on the CANbus without processing or modifying them.

3. What are all of these different models? Which WRC CANX or CANR should I choose?

We offer many different models of the CANX and CANR in order to meet a wide range of customer
needs. The following table provides descriptions of each available CANX and CANR model.
