CANbus System Gives Office Workers a Lift

Feb. 14, 2018
Ever get stuck in an elevator? Not fun. If you’re designing elevator control systems, you can turn to a familiar ally—the CAN transceiver—to provide the fault protection that prevents electrical overstress events that hamper elevator operation
Conventional elevator control systems involve complicated circuits, lots of wires, and noise sensitivity. Many elevators break down because of problems in the equipment’s communication network, which manages communication to and from several sub-systems. CAN bus transceivers provide fault protection that prevents electrical overstress (EOS) events such as accidental short circuits or overvoltage issues. Read our article to learn how you can facilitate more robust and reliable elevator operations with Maxim CAN transceivers.
