3.5-inch Embedded SBC With Android OS Supports Industrial IoT Applications
Winmate, a manufacturer of rugged computing and embedded solutions for industries operating in challenging environments, announced their latest 3.5” SBC IQ30 based on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 series mobile platform. The board comes in a compact 146 x 102 mm dimension, the IQ30 design allows powerful I/O functionality, including 1 x COM, 2 x USB 2.0, [...]
Under Development: Galvanically Isolated Quad Channel CAN Bus to USB Gateway For Industrial And Automotive Applications
A few months ago, we introduced a development concept for an Automotive Network Development System with CAN, CAN FD, LIN, Ethernet. After further market research plus very much appreciated feedback from customers, we decided to modify the concept and basically create two devices, one for CAN and LIN, the other to CAN and Ethernet. Ethernet, in [...]
Intel Atom-Based Pico-ITX Single-Board Computer For Industrial IoT Applications
Axiomtek announced the PICO317, its new fanless Pico-ITX SBC powered by an onboard quad-core Intel® Atom® x5-E3940 processor (code name: Apollo Lake). This tiny 2.5-inch embedded board can endure a wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +70°C (-40°F to +158°F) for use in harsh and space-constraint environments. It comes with dual-display capability through 4K-ready HDMI [...]
Powerful CAN Bus, SAE J1939 Display For On-Board Data Monitoring
Technoton introduced its MasterCAN Display 35, which is designed to visualize the operating parameters of a vehicle or stationary object. The Display 35 receives and parses data from an SAE J1939/S6 interface and standard vehicle T-CAN bus. Two analog inputs allow the connection to voltage/frequency devices – standard or additional sensors like axle load sensor. The MasterCAN [...]
Linux Based LTE Gateway For IoT Applications Supports CAN Bus Interface
IoTmaxx (Germany) introduced its Maxx GW 4100 4-G mobile radio gateway with CAN Bus interface. The „always-online" functionality establishes a connection to the device autonomously or reestablishes the link in case of a failure. The two integrated SIM card slots provide mobile network operator redundancy. The received data is buffered in the internal memory of the [...]
SAE J1939 Gateway And Data Logger With Real-Time Clock - Update 09-04-2020
Our SAE J1939 Gateway And Data Logger is ideal for vehicle fleet management (trucks, buses, agricultural equipment, and any other diesel engine application), prototype field testing, diagnostics, or reverse engineering. The SAE J1939 Gateway And Data Logger records SAE J1939 message frames (PGNs) onto an onboard MicroSD memory card and timestamps them with a real-time clock (RTC). [...]
