PCI/104-Express Interface Supports Up To Four CAN FD Ports
Peak-System introduced their PCAN-PCI/104-Express FD interface board, which is now available as single, dual, and four-channel version. Up to four cards can be stacked for access to Classical CAN Bus and CAN FD networks.The connection to the CAN network is made via the D-sub slot brackets included in the delivery. Stack-through connectors for the PCI bus are [...]
1-port CAN-J1939 to Modbus, PROFINET, And EtherNet/IP Gateway
The MGate 5118 device by Moxa converts SAE J1939 messages (PGN = Parameter Group Number) to several other protocols such as Modbus-TCP, Profinet, and EthernetIP. A conversion to Modbus-RTU is also possible.A diesel engine might have a great number of J1939 Parameter Group Number (PGN) commands, which, depending on the diesel engine, the engineer may need to key [...]
4G LTE-Ready ARM Linux IIoT gateways with CAN Bus Interface
Moxa introduced their UC-2100, UC-3100, and UC-5100 series. These industrial-grade computers are integrated ARM-based Linux platforms that include Moxa Industrial Linux (MIL) and optional Thingspro Gateway data-acquisition software. To meet the varied requirements of embedded data acquisition and processing applications, equipment used in an industrial environment often needs to be able to operate in harsh conditions while [...]
CAN-Bus ECU Simulator with mbed NXP LPC1768 module
This CAN-Bus ECU simulator by SK Pang Electronics uses the popular mbed NXP LPC1768 module. It is useful for testing OBD-II interfaces and writing diagnostic software. ECU PIDs parameters are adjustable via menu options.The mbed NXP LPC1768 is an easy-to-use MCU development board designed for rapid prototyping. At its heart is a powerful 32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 processor running [...]
Under Development: SAE J1708 to UART Breakout Board For Embedded Systems
SAE J1708 is a standard used for serial communications between ECUs on a heavy duty vehicle and also between a computer and the vehicle. With respect to Open System Interconnection model (OSI), J1708 defines the physical layer. Common higher layer protocols that operate on top of J1708 are SAE J1587 and SAE J1922. The protocol [...]

Data Acquisition From Heavy-Duty Vehicles Using The SAE J1939 CAN Bus
Modern vehicles have electronic control units (ECUs) to control various subsystems such as the engine, brakes, steering, air conditioning, and infotainment. These ECUs (or simply `controllers') are networked together to share information, and output directly measured and calculated data to each other. This in-vehicle network is a data goldmine for improved maintenance, measuring vehicle performance and [...]
