SAE J1939 CAN Bus Range Of Hydraulic Sensors For OEM Mobile And Industrial Applications
The new SAE J1939 CAN range of hydraulic sensors from Webtec are designed for OEM Mobile and Industrial applications where the user needs real-time continuous monitoring of hydraulic flow, pressure and temperature on high-pressure hydraulic systems for closed loop control, to predict imminent hydraulic failure or for diagnostic fault-finding.The CT turbine flow meter range with SAE J1939 [...]
Industrial-Grade Intel Apollo Lake-Based Computer-On-Module Aimed For industrial IoT Applications
Axiomtek released their Q7M311, a Qseven module with an Intel Apollo Lake processor, dual display interfaces, 32GB eMMC memory, and extended operating temperature range supported.Axiomtek’s Q7M311 has adopted the 14nm Intel Pentium N4200 and Celeron N3350 quad-core/dual-core processors (codename: Apollo Lake). The embedded module supports 4GB (or optionally up to 8GB) DDR3L memory onboard and 32GB eMMC [...]
Electronic Logging Device (ELD) - GPS And Real-Time Clock (RTC) Breakout Board For The Arduino Due
Lately, I had looked into the topic of Electronic Logging Devices (ELD). An ELD is electronic hardware that is attached to a commercial motor vehicle engine to record driving hours. The driving hours of commercial drivers (truck and bus drivers) are regulated by a set of rules known as the hours of service (HOS). An ELD monitors a vehicle’s [...]
Wi-Fi Connected IoT Modules For Remotely Monitoring And Controlling The Status Of Real-World I/O Processes
Sealevel announced their SeaConnect 370 and SeaCloud SAAS platform. The SeaConnect 370 IoT edge device allows users to monitor and control real-world processes and trigger actions with SeaCloud, a cloud-based, built-in event engine. Designed for a variety of applications including asset management, data acquisition, environmental monitoring and facility management, the SeaConnect 370 originally emerged as a solution [...]
Serial Device Servers And Gateways Support RAW, ASCII, HART, Modbus/RTU, TCP/IP, Modbus/TCP, PROFINET, and EtherNet/IP™
Phoenix Contact introduced their line of serial device servers and gateways that gives automation engineers a way to connect control systems and field devices.Performing routine maintenance, upgrades, or expansion of control systems can lead to a communications gap between legacy devices and emerging technologies. Many companies have traditionally depended on serial system connectivity and are now [...]
Linear Actuator With Integrated SAE J1939 / CAN Bus Controller
LINAK Australia has introduced the new SAE J1939 control for their LA36 actuators as an all-in-one package solution. With this well-known CAN (Controller Area Network) based protocol, the user doesn’t need to customize electronics to use linear actuator movement in their CAN bus system.Actuators with built-in CAN bus control offer simple installation and can adjust to fit [...]
Unified Centralized Software Stack For Automotive Networking
A new high-speed network solution for in-vehicle infotainment with device control over Internet Protocol (IP) is now available from Microchip Technology Inc. The Unified Centralized Software Stack (UNICENS) is a software module available at no charge to Microchip customers who are using Intelligent Network Interface Controllers (INIC) such as the OS81118, OS81119 and any future INICs.Modern cars [...]
Fanless Embedded Single-Board Computer With Intel Pentium Or Celeron Processor
Axiomtek announced their CAPA312, a fanless 3.5-inch embedded motherboard, powered by the Intel Pentium processor N4200 or Celeron processor N3350 (codename: Apollo Lake). This 3.5” embedded board was designed for operational stability in a wide operating temperature range from -20°C to +60°C (or optionally up to +70°C) and requires +12V DC power input. It also comes [...]
