Controller Area Network (CAN Bus) And Higher-Layer Protocols CANopen, SAE J1939, NMEA 2000
For the longest time, the major misconception about Controller Area Network (CAN) was that it merely applies to automobiles. The truth is, CAN, since its introduction in 1986, proved to be a robust, versatile, and straightforward technology and, consequently, the CAN Bus technology found its way into all areas of applications where microprocessors need to [...]
Programmable Converter With Dual CAN FD, LIN, RS-232 Ports And microSD Slot
The CANFD LIN Gateway by MACH SYSTEMS is an easy-to-use, easy-to-program router, data logger, and simulator that features two CAN FD channels, a LIN channel, an RS-232 port, a microSD card slot, and multiple digital and analog inputs and outputs. The firmware can be developed using C/C++ in a free-of-charge IDE, and the user can load the application [...]
RFID Reader Device Supports CANopen, SAE J1939 Data Monitoring And Recording For IoT, IIoT Applications
The Bluebox CX series by iDTRONIC (Germany) represent CAN-Bus-connectible RFID reader devices supporting the CANopen and SAE J1939 higher-layer protocols.The CAN Bus data monitoring and recording is made possible using the CAN Bus connection (CANopen or SAE J1939), RS232/485, or Wiegand interfaces. The CAN Bus also manages the real-time transmission of ongoing processes in automotive, medical technology, or agricultural [...]
SMARC Module With Intel Pentium/Celeron/Atom x6000 Series Supports Two CAN FD Ports
Advantech launched their SMARC 2.1 SOM‑2532 module, designed with real-time automation control, edge-connected, and safety-critical applications in mind.The module combines the 10-nm Intel Elkhart Lake processor with up to four cores and 16‑GiB LPDDR4 memory. The CPU (Central Processing Unit) performance is improved by a margin of more than 40 % and graphic performance up to two [...]
Dual-Mode Bluetooth 5 Wireless Module Compatible With Bluetooth Low Energy And Legacy Bluetooth Classic
Fujitsu Components America announced the release of its FWM7BTZ61 series of Bluetooth Ver. 5.0 (dual-mode) wireless radio modules compatible with Bluetooth Low Energy and legacy Bluetooth Classic BR/EDR, providing designers the adaptability to choose between the two operating modes in one module. The fully integrated FWM7BTZ61 series utilizes the Cypress Semiconductor CYW20819 SoC and features Bluetooth Low [...]
Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 Comes With PCIe Support And Multimedia Interfaces
Newark, a global distributor of electronic components, products, and solutions, introduced the new Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 (CM4). The CM4 module delivers the power of the Raspberry Pi 4 to the compute module family. It is supplemented by two accessories, the Compute Module 4 I/O (CM4IO) board and the Compute Module 4 Antenna Kit. The CM4 [...]
CAN Bus Display For Auto-Scanning And Parsing CAN And ISOBUS Data
The MasterCAN Display 35 by Technoton was designed to visualize machinery operation parameters from CAN Bus and ISOBUS networks, specifically telematics sensors such as fuel level sensors, fuel flow meters, axle load sensors, and other peripheral units. The CAN Bus display is suitable for vehicle telematics systems or stationary machinery monitoring systems. It can show up to 402 [...]
Industrial And Military-Strength Galvanically Isolated Classical CAN And CAN FD Breakout Boards
We at Copperhill Technologies are currently developing a new product, the JCOM.CAN.QUAD, a galvanically isolated four-channel CAN-to-USB gateway board. More precisely, two of the interfaces support Classical CAN, while another two operate as CAN FD (Flexible Data Rate) ports. For the sake of maximum flexibility, we decided to use a sandwich design where separate CAN boards [...]
Design Concept: Raspberry Pi System With Four Isolated CAN Bus Interfaces
Copperhill Technologies currently develops their JCOM.CAN.QUAD product, a galvanically isolated four-channel CAN-to-USB gateway board. More precisely, two of the interfaces support Classical CAN, while another two operate as CAN FD (Flexible Data Rate) ports. The board comes with two UART ports, which allow the use of external LIN Bus breakout boards, such as our Isolated LIN Bus Breakout [...]
