LIN Bus To USB Gateway Simulates LIN Master Or LIN Slave
The Baby-LIN-II device by Lipowsky Industrie-Elektronik is a small but powerful system to control a LIN Bus via USB. It simulates LIN Bus master or LIN Bus slave nodes. The electrically-isolated LIN interface bypasses problems in noisy electrical environments.The device also supports stand-alone operation without a PC. A durability test sequence can be defined as a macro and [...]
SAE J1939 Digital Annex Available As DBC File
The SAE J1939 Digital Annex (J1939DA), as offered by SAE, is now available through CSS Electronics in form of a DBC File. The J1939 Digital Annex, launched in August 2013, offers key SAE J1939 technical data in an Electronic Spreadsheet that can be quickly explored, sorted, and modified to another format. J1939DA includes all SPNs (parameters), PGNs (messages), and [...]
Compute, Data Logger, Sensor Unit Motherboard for Autonomous Development With CAN Bus, CAN FD, LIN Bus Support
Intrepid Control Systems (USA) introduced its autonomousONE motherboard, an all-in-one data-logger that combines various inputs into a single open platform.The data-logger strives to assist automakers, suppliers, and automotive vehicle researchers in speeding up their autonomous vehicle development by substituting a trunk full of devices with a single interface device. The device links multiple components of autonomous [...]
SAE J1939 Bandwidth, Busload And Message Frame Frequency
This post represents an extension to A Comprehensible Guide to J1939.When it comes to designing SAE J1939 devices, the performance of the used embedded processor is of crucial importance. The question is, does the processor support the maximum message frequency of an SAE J1939 vehicle network? The critical factors are SAE J1939 bandwidth, busload, and the [...]
3.5" Embedded SBC With Intel Celeron Processor Presents A Solution For IIoT Applications
Axiomtek announced their CAPA84R, a fanless 3.5-inch embedded motherboard powered by the Intel Celeron processor J1900 quad-core or J1800 dual-core. The CPU is located at the rear side of the motherboard, which further serves the heat-extraction process. This fanless embedded board supports an operating temperature range of -20°C to +70°C. The CAPA84R also comes with I/O [...]
SAE J1939 (CAN Bus) to Modbus, PROFINET, EtherNet-IP Gateways Connect PLCs To Vehicle Engines
Moxa's MGate 5118 industrial protocol gateways support the SAE J1939 protocol, which uses the CAN Bus (Controller Area Network) technology as a hardware layer. SAE J1939 is used to perform communication and diagnostics between vehicle components, diesel engine generators, and compression engines, and it is suitable for the heavy-duty truck industry and backup power systems.
