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 a wide range of heavy-duty machinery in agriculture and construction. Control systems and actuators with CAN bus can also easily communicate directly to each other with increased connectivity and live data.

The SAE J1939 CAN bus control also allows users to check the position of actuators, monitor their diagnostic feedback such as voltage, temperature and other conditions, and coordinate the movement of several actuators in the system.

A LINAK actuator with CAN bus control allows uncomplicated integration with machines thanks to its simple wiring. It also provides high control with live data, and increased flexibility for adapting the same actuator to fit various types of applications.

CAN bus is available as a new bus option of the LA36 Integrated Controller (IC) platform.

LINAK actuators are commonly used for applications within:

• Agriculture
• Mining
• Solar
• Special vehicles
• Other industrial applications

A Comprehensible Guide to Controller Area Network by Wilfried Voss represents the most thoroughly researched and most complete work on CAN available in the marketplace. 

Controller Area Network (CAN) is a serial network technology that was originally designed for the automotive industry, especially for European cars, but has also become a popular bus in industrial automation as well as other applications.

The CAN bus is primarily used in embedded systems, and as its name implies, is a network technology that provides fast communication among microcontrollers up to real-time requirements, eliminating the need for the much more expensive and complex technology of a Dual-Ported RAM. 

This book provides complete information on all CAN features and aspects combined with a high level of readability. More Information...
