MULTI-INTERFACE HUB

Eight communication channels. One USB connection.

Xilume 8Hub is being developed to bring two CAN FD, four RS-485, and two RS-232 channels into one interface for mixed-bus development, commissioning, and equipment integration.

WHY 8HUB

A cleaner way to work with mixed serial and CAN systems.

Several separate adapters quickly create cable clutter, inconsistent labels, multiple enclosures, and a more difficult service workflow.
01

Reduce adapter clutter

Bring the eight planned communication channels into one organized desktop or equipment interface.

02

Keep every bus visible

The planned channel map keeps CAN FD, RS-485, and RS-232 groups separate and clearly identified for faster connection and troubleshooting.

03

Work across mixed equipment

Connect controllers, sensors, instruments, and service ports from the same host system.

SYSTEM VIEW

One glance explains the complete connection path.

The diagram shows the defined target channel structure without pretending to be a final product photograph.

CHANNEL MAP

Eight labeled paths, grouped by purpose.

A clear port map helps an operator connect the right equipment and makes the installation easier to document.

APPLICATIONS

Built around the places where mixed interfaces become difficult.

ROBOTICS

Commissioning and bring-up

Connect CAN FD motion networks, RS-485 devices, and service ports during robot integration.

INDUSTRIAL TEST

Multi-device validation benches

Organize several bus connections at one test station instead of managing a row of adapters.

EMBEDDED SYSTEMS

System integration

Give a host computer one clear interface point for several installed field devices.

SERVICE

Equipment diagnostics

Keep legacy serial and CAN connections available in a repeatable maintenance setup.

ENGINEERING STATUS

What is defined—and what is still being validated.

The page separates the current channel architecture from open design items so an engineering customer can judge the intended fit without assuming released hardware.
