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 [...]

Controller Area Network (CAN Bus) - Error Detection And Fault Confinement
The following is an excerpt from A Comprehensible Controller Area Network by Wilfried Voss. The CAN standard utilizes a series of error detection mechanisms, which contribute to its high level of reliability and error resistance (see following Chapter - Error Detection). The reliability of CAN has been calculated in a mathematical model. Here is an example using the following [...]
SAE J1939 Transport Protocol (TP) Functions
The following is an excerpt from A Comprehensible Guide To J1939 by Wilfried Voss. Even though extremely useful in passenger cars and small industrial applications, CAN alone was not suitable to meet the requirements of truck and bus communications, mainly since its communication between devices is limited to only 8 bytes per message. However, it is possible [...]
