CAN With Flexible Data Rate (CAN FD) Devices For Embedded Systems Such As Raspberry Pi, Arduino, And Teensy
Developed by Bosch (Germany), CAN with Flexible Data Rate (CAN FD) is an extension to the original CAN Bus protocol as specified in ISO 11898-1 that responds to increased bandwidth requirements in automotive and industrial networks. CAN FD is supported by semiconductor chip manufacturers and end users alike, with Infineon, NXP, Daimler and GM among the [...]
Computer-on-Module With 64-bit NXP i.MX8 Multi-Core ARM Processor Supports Two CAN Bus Ports
congatec announced the release of their conga-SMX8, a SMARC 2.0 Computer-on-Module based on the 64-bit NXP i.MX8 multi-core ARM processor family. The ARM Cortex-A53/A72 based conga-SMX8 represents the flagship module for embedded computer designs, offering the ARM processor with performance, graphics and numerous embedded features for all kinds of IIoT applications. It offers multi-core computing along [...]
Multi-Protocol SoC With Two ARM Cortex-M4 Processor Cores Supports Two CAN Bus Controllers
Hilscher announced the release of their netX 90, an addition to its netX family of single-chip network controller ASICs. The netX 90 is the latest connectivity chip for slave devices. The chip addresses the fact that a large proportion of slave devices in use today will have to be replaced and/or updated if cyber risk threats [...]
Hand-Operated Joystick Device With SAE J1939 Protocol Output
The Curtis-Wright WM-580 CANBus joystick, available under the Williams Controls product brand, is designed for off-highway vehicles.Williams worked directly with equipment operators on product designs under the supervision of a kinesiologist. The resulting grip and control options are designed to minimize user fatigue and repetitive stress risk, while maximizing comfort, said the company. The input motions are [...]
In-Vehicle System With SAE J1939 Port For Fleet Management Systems And Internet-of-Things Applications
The fanless PL-81880 in-vehicle computer by Win Enterprises (USA) was designed for fleet management system (FMS) and Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications.From an IoT (Internet of Things) viewpoint, a vehicle is similar to an industrial manufacturing facility. It has sensors and actuators much like you would find on a manufacturing line and, likewise, a huge amount of data is [...]
Industrial Expansion Card for Raspberry Pi With Multiple IO And CoDeSys Driver
Sequent Microsystems, a tech startup from Cupertino in California, introduced a Kickstarter campaign for a new industrial expansion card for the Raspberry Pi platform. Loaded with multiple inputs, outputs, the card is designed for the Industrial Automation market. According to the KS page, the card attempts to integrate as many Industrial Automation functions as possible [...]
Embedded Android System With NXP ARM Cortex-A9 i.MX 6Dual 1GHz Processor Supports Two CAN Bus Ports
IBASE Technology Inc., a manufacturer of industrial-strength embedded systems, announced the release of their IBR117 3.5-inch SBC, which is powered by an NXP i.MX 6Dual Cortex-A9 1.0GHz high performance processor. The board is suitable for use in applications in the automation, smart building, transportation, and medical markets.The IBR117 is a scalable Single-Board Computer (SBC) with an extended [...]
Programmable, Arduino-Due-Based USB Gateway With Two CAN Bus Ports
As part of our business strategy of providing prototyping solutions for the CAN Bus (including SAE J1939, ISOBUS, NMEA 2000) we have decided to focus more on the Arduino platform, specifically the Arduino Due. The Due, while providing the power of an ARM Cortex M3 processor, comes with two CAN Bus ports per default, however, lacking the [...]
Embedded Platform For Automotive Applications Supports CAN Bus And CAN FD
The FRC-EP170 and the FRC-EP190 by HMS/IXXAT are universally usable hardware platforms for applications on the test bench or in vehicles. Among others, the devices provide classical CAN Bus and CAN FD interfaces. Expansion slots enable to add other interfaces, including WLAN, GSM, or GPS. Both devices have the same processor and the same operating system, making the new variant completely [...]
PCIe Board Supports Up To Four Isolated CAN Bus Or CAN FD Ports
The PCAN-M.2 by PEAK System allows the connection of classical CAN Bus and CAN FD networks via M.2 interface (PCI Express, PCIe) as supported by modern computers. With its small form factor, the plug-in card is ideal for embedded PCs, single-board computers (SBC), and compact embedded applications. There is a galvanic isolation between the computer and the CAN side, [...]
