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). The Nuvo-7100VTC is a fanless embedded controller intended for transportation applications. It supports 8 VDC [...]

It is suitable for 24/7 deployments to support industrial automation and intelligent transportation applications, and it comes with a 12V-24V DC terminal block power input and an optional 60W power [...]
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 [...]
Industrial Ethernet Guide - Ethernet/IP
The following is part of A Comprehensible Guide to Industrial Ethernet by Wilfried Voss.Initially released in 2000, Ethernet/IP is an open application-layer protocol developed by Allen-Bradley (Rockwell Automation) and maintained by ControlNet International (CI), the Open DeviceNet Vendor Association (ODVA), and the Industrial Ethernet Association (IEA).Note: The “IP” in Ethernet/IP stands for “Industrial Protocol” and must [...]
