CAN Bus Router Connects Classic CAN And CAN FD Networks And Operates As A CAN Bus Recorder
PEAK-System Technik has extended its product range with its programmable PCAN-Router Pro FD, which connects the data traffic of up to six CAN FD or classic CAN Bus networks. The routing from CAN Bus to CAN FD or vice versa enables the integration of new CAN FD applications into existing CAN 2.0 systems.Note: Classic CAN Bus [...]
Tablet PC For In-Vehicle Networks Supports CAN Bus - SAE J1939 And Gigabit Ethernet Interfaces For IoT Applications
The X7R from Waysion Technology (China) is a 7-inch tablet PC designed to operate within truck in-cab and other applications within harsh environments.A CAN Bus interface maintains data communications via an extension cable, and it supports the 29-bit CAN-identifier. If required, the SAE J1939 higher-layer protocol can be implemented using an additional converter. The device receives data from CAN [...]
C Programming For The Internet-Of-Things (IoT) Under Linux
Applying C is the book you need if you are programming for Single Board Computers (SBCs) that operate under Linux, or if you perform any coding in C that interacts with the hardware. As there is not the right name for this body of knowledge, it is not easy to find a single source for [...]
Control Unit With Two CAN Bus Ports Supports CoDeSys Programming
Epec has released the Ec44 control unit, representing a new member of the Epec product. The controller comes in a new enclosure and a 46-pin Leavyseal connector with lever locking. The controller has a powerful 32-bit processor and large internal memory for application and parameters, two CAN Bus ports, Codesys 3.5 programming, and 16 inputs and outputs. The [...]
Vehicle Computer Architectures Help Improving Diesel Engine Performance And Lifetime Costs
Engineers are leaving no stone unturned in their unceasing drive to improve fuel economy, leveraging electronics, monitoring airflow, and using data from outside the vehicle. Computer architectures are being revised to simplify controls and decrease sensor counts, helping keep costs in line. Computers continuously monitor and control the engine, transmission, after-treatment systems, and more. Powerful devices [...]
The Difference Between SAE J1939 And CAN Bus - The Extended CAN Bus Protocol
The following is an excerpt from A Comprehensible Controller Area Network by Wilfried Voss. The standard CAN message frame uses an 11-bit message identifier (CAN 2.0A), which is sufficient for the use in regular automobiles and any industrial application, however, not necessarily for off-road vehicles.The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Truck and Bus Control and Communications Subcommittee [...]
Practical Experiences Of Creating Autonomous Vehicle Systems Written For A General Computing And Engineering Audience
This book is the first technical summary of autonomous vehicles written for a global computing and engineering audience. The authors share their working experiences of creating autonomous vehicle (AV) systems. AV systems are complex, and they consist of three principal subsystems:Algorithms for localization, perception, and planning and control; Client systems, such as the robotics operating system [...]
JCOM1939 Monitor Software - New Version 3.31.00
Our SAE J1939 ECU Simulator Board With USB Port allows any host device (e.g., PC) with a USB COM port to monitor SAE J1939 data traffic and communicate with the SAE J1939 vehicle network, which makes it also suitable to simulate SAE J1939 data traffic. The simulation of SAE J1939 signals (i.e., PGNs) is a [...]
COM Express Type 6 Basic Module For Industrial IoT Applications
Axiomtek announced the release of its CEM520, a COM Express Type 6 basic module featuring triple independent displays, industrial operating temperature range, and plenty of possibilities for expansions. The CEM520 utilizes the Intel Xeon E-2176M and 8th generation Intel Core i7/i5/i3 processors (codename: Coffee Lake) with the Intel CM246/QM370/HM370 chipset. The 125 x 95 mm system-on-module [...]
SAE J1939 Data Monitoring And Simulation With The Arduino
The following is an excerpt from SAE J1939 ECU Programming & Vehicle Bus Simulation with Arduino by Wilfried Voss In general, there are three different intentions for connecting to a J1939 vehicle network: Mere monitoring, processing, and display of network data traffic. All functions as described under 1. but extended by the ability of sending data into the J1939 [...]
