When Maritime Research Institute Netherlands built larger and more complex simulations and test facilities they realized that they were limited by the size of the CAN Network and by the length and speed of the CAN bus used to control the test equipment.
To overcome these limitations MARIN successfully used the TCS-10 CAN Switch from TK Engineering to split the CAN bus into segments. This gave them the option to have a longer CAN bus, higher data rates, more flexible network topology and resistance to faults in the CAN network.
