Galvanically Isolated CAN Bus Transceivers Protect Networks Against Destructive Energy
High noise levels on a CAN bus network have the potential to destroy CAN bus transceivers. This noise originates mainly from two sources, ground loops and electrical line surges.Protecting a network against this destructive energy requires the galvanic isolation of the CAN bus system from other local node circuitry. For more information on Controller Area [...]
SAE J1939 Address Management Messages (Address Claim PGNs)
The following is an excerpt from A Comprehensible Guide To J1939 by Wilfried Voss. According to SAE J1939/81, network management procedures are used to “collectively manage the network”.While other higher layer protocols based on CAN Bus do not support dynamic node address assignments per default, the SAE J1939 standard provides yet another ingeniously designed feature to uniquely identify ECUs [...]
Windows-Based Analysis And Test Environment For CAN -FD, LIN And Automotive Ethernet
CanEasy by Schleissheimer (Germany) is a Windows-based analysis and test system for CAN-FD, LIN and Automotive Ethernet. The tool simulates serial bus traffic, it provides a high degree of automation and is easily configured and extended with the support of plug-in modules. The goal is that users should focus on their task and not on their tools. CanEasy is a [...]
