Caution
  • If CAN/CAN FD transmission stops (for example, due to power loss on the connected side), some internal reset handling occurs. If GW processing does not resume correctly, power-cycle MicroPeckerX.
  • The internal timer used for GW and cyclic transmission supports up to approximately 9 days and 17 hours. For longer continuous operation, power-cycle MicroPeckerX as needed.
