CAN Bus Tutorial - What is CAN?
The following is an excerpt from A Comprehensible Controller Area Network by Wilfried Voss. Controller Area Network (CAN) is a serial network technology that was originally designed for the automotive industry, especially for European cars, but has also become a popular bus in industrial automation and other applications. The CAN bus is primarily used in embedded systems, [...]
CAN Bus Tutorial - A Brief History of CAN
The following is an excerpt from A Comprehensible Controller Area Network by Wilfried Voss. The idea of Controller Area Network (CAN) was hatched by engineers at the Robert Bosch GmbH in Germany in the early 1980s. They investigated the market for a suitable field-bus technology for use in automobiles that would enable them to add additional functionality. [...]
CAN FD To Ethernet Gateway With Linux Operating System
The PCAN-Gateway series from PEAK System supports the transmission of CAN Bus data frames over IP networks. The PCAN-Ethernet Gateway FD DR supports CAN FD in addition to the Classical CAN Bus Standard. Both CAN Bus interfaces are CAN FD compliant with data bit-rates of up to 10 Mbit/s. An AM5716 Sitara processor provides the required performance for [...]
Testing The SAE J1939 to RS232 & USB Gateway By Copperhill Technologies
In this post, I will demonstrate the test setup of our SAE J1939 to RS232 & USB Gateway. The JCOM.J1939.SER gateway is a high-performance, low-latency, serial vehicle network adapter for SAE J1939 applications. It allows any host device with an RS232 or USB port to monitor SAE J1939 data traffic and communicate with the SAE J1939 vehicle [...]
