XPortHub2 – PLC Communication Hub

XPortHub2 is a PLC/Communication Hub with 1xEthernet, 1xUSB, 2xCAN(HS), 2xRS485, 2xRS232 and 1xTTL UART. The card is designed to work stand-alone, as part of a larger PLC node or as an extension Hat to Raspberry PI.
introduction
The plan is to use two separate CAN Networks on my Lawn Mover – one network for motors, and one network for everything else – both using CAN HS at 1Mbps. To do this I consider upgrading XportHub. This picture show XPortHub2 w/2 CAN Ports. ISO1042 is an isolated CAN tranceiver in a SOIC8 a bit wider than the SOP8 used above and it should be realistic to upgrade XPortHub1 or XPortHub2. As I have no experience with ISO1042 I will have to experiment a bit.
