CAN Bus Data Loggers For Fleet Telematics, Vehicle Field Tests, Diagnostics, Predictive Maintenance
CSS Electronics introduced their new line of CAN Bus loggers, the CANedge. The dual CAN logger records raw CAN data (incl. CAN FD) for storage on an industrial 8-32 GB SD memory card. The data is retrieved by extracting the SD card or by auto-pushing the data to a cloud server.The new CANedge1 and CANedge2 [...]
IoT Gateway Powered By Intel Apollo Lake Atom Series Enables Seamless And Secure Data Flow To The Cloud
iBASE, a manufacturer of embedded Internet-of-Things (IoT) products, announced the release of its AGS100T and AGS102T IoT gateways. Powered by Intel’s Apollo Lake Atom x7/x5 series, PentiumN4200, and Celeron N3350 SoCs, the systems facilitate secure data-flow to the cloud for IoT applications with enterprise-grade security and management abilities.The AGS100T/AGS102T fanless platforms feature an operating temperature range of up [...]
NXP i.MX8X System-on-Module (SoC) With Up To Three CAN FD Ports
Compulab (Israel) introduced their CL-SOM-iMX8X System-on-Module (SoM) whose processor is part of NXP’s i.MX8X System-on-Chip (SoC) family and provides three CAN FD ports. The module has been created with the vast I/O capabilities of the i.MX8X SoC in mind. Besides the three CAN FD ports, other peripheral interfaces include PCI Express, dual 1-Gbit/s Ethernet, USB ports, four UARTs, [...]
Out‑Of‑The‑Box Rapid Prototyping Solution For IoT Applications That Support GSM, UMTS And CDMA Networks
The u‑blox C027 application board serves as a rapid prototyping solution for Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications that require support for GSM, UMTS, and CDMA networks. The board comes with a MAX‑M8Q GPS/GNSS receiver and a LISA UMTS/CDMA or SARA GSM cellular module, allowing a smooth development of location‑aware, global communication applications. The C027 utilizes the powerful and flexible open‑source ARM [...]
SAE J1939 And NMEA 2000 Protocol Stack Kits For Rapid Development And Prototyping
Warwick Control Technologies (UK) announced the release of their SAE-J1939-based protocol stack kits that also support an NMEA 2000 protocol stack according to IEC 61162-3.The company's development kit provides the protocol stack in C source-code, an STM32 prototyping board, a reference design CAN Bus driver for STM32 microcontrollers, the X-Analyser tool, and the Leaf Light USB dongle by Kvaser, [...]
IIoT Gateway Connects Modbus Devices To Cloud-Based Data Logging Solutions
The STRIDE MQTT gateway by AutomationDirect connects industrial Modbus devices to an MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport) cloud-based data logging system. MQTT is a machine-to-machine IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) connectivity protocol that renders low power usage, data packets, and distribution of information to single or multiple receivers.The STRIDE MQTT gateway implements a hardware setup to add Modbus RTU/TCP [...]
In-Vehicle Fanless Embedded Computer With Isolated CAN Bus Port
Neousys (Taiwan) announced their Nuvo-7100VTC series of rugged in-vehicle computing platforms. They come in several variants: the Nuvo-7100VTC (low-profile chassis with a hot-swappable 2,5-inch HDD/ SSD tray), the Nuvo-7200VTC (single-slot with PCIe expansion), and the Nuvo-7250VTC (super-capacitor based with power back-up module).

CAN FD On A Legacy CAN Bus Network Is Not A Good Idea Due To Compatibility Issues
My book, A Comprehensible Guide to Controller Area Network, was initially published in 2005, and while the technology behind the "Classical" CAN (a tag used by CAN-In-Automation) has not changed, the growing market acceptance of CAN FD (Flexible Data Rate) made me think about working on a second edition. I am aware that CAN FD was [...]
