ISOBUS Safety-Certified ECU With Three CAN Bus Ports And Automotive Ethernet Interface
TTControl expanded its HY-TTC 500 product family by another safety-certified ECU, the HY-TTC 508 ECU, which satisfies safety requirements according to IEC 61508 SIL2, ISO 13849 PL d and EN ISO 25119 AgPL d.One of the three CAN Bus interfaces is ISOBUS standard compliant. ISOBUS (ISO 11783) is a CAN (Controller Area Network) Higher Layer Protocol based on [...]
Beaglebone AI Family Comes With Two Classical CAN Bus Interfaces; CAN FD Support Is Planned
The Beaglebone AI board bridges the gap between small single-board computers (SBCs) and more robust industrial computers. Leveraging the Texas Instruments (TI) Sitara AM5729 processor, developers have access to powerful machine learning capabilities with the ease of the Beaglebone Black header and its mechanical compatibility.The board contains TI C66x digital-signal-processor (DSP) cores and embedded-vision-engine (EVE) cores on [...]
CAN FD Evaluation And Development Board For Windows PCs
Peak-System announced their PCAN-Micromod FD, a generic solution for the integration of a CAN FD interface and I/O functionality into custom hardware.Developers can plug the CPU module into their motherboard and configure it with the Windows-based PCAN-Micromod FD software included in the scope of delivery. The configuration is applied to the PCAN-Micromod FD via the [...]
CAN Bus Data Loggers For Fleet Telematics, Vehicle Field Tests, Diagnostics, Predictive Maintenance
CSS Electronics introduced their new line of CAN Bus loggers, the CANedge. The dual CAN logger records raw CAN data (incl. CAN FD) for storage on an industrial 8-32 GB SD memory card. The data is retrieved by extracting the SD card or by auto-pushing the data to a cloud server.The new CANedge1 and CANedge2 [...]
NXP i.MX8X System-on-Module (SoC) With Up To Three CAN FD Ports
Compulab (Israel) introduced their CL-SOM-iMX8X System-on-Module (SoM) whose processor is part of NXP’s i.MX8X System-on-Chip (SoC) family and provides three CAN FD ports. The module has been created with the vast I/O capabilities of the i.MX8X SoC in mind. Besides the three CAN FD ports, other peripheral interfaces include PCI Express, dual 1-Gbit/s Ethernet, USB ports, four UARTs, [...]
SAE J1939 And NMEA 2000 Protocol Stack Kits For Rapid Development And Prototyping
Warwick Control Technologies (UK) announced the release of their SAE-J1939-based protocol stack kits that also support an NMEA 2000 protocol stack according to IEC 61162-3.The company's development kit provides the protocol stack in C source-code, an STM32 prototyping board, a reference design CAN Bus driver for STM32 microcontrollers, the X-Analyser tool, and the Leaf Light USB dongle by Kvaser, [...]
In-Vehicle Fanless Embedded Computer With Isolated CAN Bus Port
Neousys (Taiwan) announced their Nuvo-7100VTC series of rugged in-vehicle computing platforms. They come in several variants: the Nuvo-7100VTC (low-profile chassis with a hot-swappable 2,5-inch HDD/ SSD tray), the Nuvo-7200VTC (single-slot with PCIe expansion), and the Nuvo-7250VTC (super-capacitor based with power back-up module). The Nuvo-7100VTC is a fanless embedded controller intended for transportation applications. It supports 8 VDC [...]
CAN FD On A Legacy CAN Bus Network Is Not A Good Idea Due To Compatibility Issues
My book, A Comprehensible Guide to Controller Area Network, was initially published in 2005, and while the technology behind the "Classical" CAN (a tag used by CAN-In-Automation) has not changed, the growing market acceptance of CAN FD (Flexible Data Rate) made me think about working on a second edition. I am aware that CAN FD was [...]
