CAN Bus Enabled PC For Industrial IoT (IIoT) And Transportation Applications
Posted by
onPortwell launched its Lynx-612B PC, an industrial PC of their Lynx-6000 Industrial IoT (Internet of Things) gateway series based on the Intel Celeron N3350 CPU (formerly Apollo Lake platform).
The device is equipped with a two-core CPU, and it is certified by Microsoft Azure IoT, which provides a scalable infrastructure for data, virtual machines, servers, and front-end applications. A 4-GiB DRAM (optionally up to 8 GiB) and a 32-GiB eMMC 5.0 (up to 256 GiB) memory is onboard. The supported operating systems include Windows 10 IoT Enterprise (64 bit) and Yocto v. 2.7.
Besides a CAN Bus port, the fanless PC comes with two USB 3.0, a display interface, a Mini-PCIe slot, and an 8-channel GPIO. It can work as an IoT gateway in space-limited automation applications by supporting up to four Ethernet ports. The M.2 Key E 2230 interface allows for an expansion with a wireless module.
The IP30-protected 0,53-kg PC can be mount on a DIN-rail or a wall. The required power input ranges from 12 VDC to 30 VDC. The operating temperature ranges from 0 °C to +50 °C. The product series is suited for industrial automation, facility management, transportation, intra-logistics or smart warehouse, testing equipment, electrical charging station management, automated guided vehicle (AGV), IoT data management, and edge computing.

Raspberry Pi 3 B+ System With Dual Isolated CAN Bus Interface
Our Raspberry Pi 3 System With CAN Bus Interface (PiCAN2) comes with a pre-installed Raspbian operating system. The Raspberry Pi 3 B+ is equipped with a high-performance heatsink set to reduce chip hot-spots and to increase the thermal dissipation surface area.
The PiCAN2 DUO ISO board provides Controller Area Network (CAN) Bus capabilities for the Raspberry Pi.
It uses the Microchip MCP2515 CAN controller with MCP2551 CAN transceiver. Connection are made via 4-way screw terminals.
There is an easy-to-install SocketCAN driver, and programming can be accomplished in C or Python.
