Product Overview​

The ESP32-S3-CAN-2CH is an industrial-grade Wi-Fi wireless communicator based on the ESP32-S3 main controller, supporting peripheral interfaces such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and CAN. It features built-in power isolation, optocoupler isolation, and other protection circuits, making it safe, stable, and reliable for AIoT applications.

Features​

  • Based on ESP32-S3 microcontroller with Xtensa 32-bit LX7 dual-core processor with frequency up to 240MHz
  • Integrated 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5 (LE) dual-mode wireless communication with excellent RF performance
  • Two onboard isolated CAN interfaces for easy expansion and connection to various CAN devices
  • Onboard pin header, allowing access to other devices
  • Onboard USB Type-C port for power supply, firmware downloading and debugging, making development more convenient
  • Onboard power supply screw terminal, supports 7-36V wide voltage input, suitable for industrial applications
  • Onboard RTC clock chip, supports timing tasks
  • Onboard digital isolation to avoid external signal interference with the control chip
  • Onboard integrated power isolation, providing stable isolation voltage, no extra power supply required for the isolated terminal
  • Onboard CAN working indicator lights for easily monitoring the device's operating status
  • Rail-mounted protective enclosure, easy to install, safe to use
