Abstract
An example system includes a first network interface circuit structured to interpret a first Ethernet data set and to transmit a second Ethernet data set; a second network interface circuit structured to transmit a first controller area network (CAN) data set and to interpret a second CAN data set; and a translation circuit structured to: determine a first message value from the first Ethernet data set and to encapsulate the first message value in the first CAN data set; and determine a second message value from the second CAN data set and to encapsulate the second message value in the second Ethernet data set; wherein the first network interface circuit, the translation circuit, and the second network interface circuit are defined by an Ethernet switch and/or a CAN gateway both structured to be incorporated into a mobile system.
