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 [...]
Embedded Application ECU For Telematic And Diagnostic Tasks With Up to Four CAN Bus Ports
Sontheim Industrie Elektronik (SiE) introduced its Comhawk xt telemetry module series for networking and data processing, which meets the latest technological standards. The connectivity and data management module is a member of the company’s Comhawk product family. Equipped with a Cortex A9 single/dual core processor and a storage capacity of up to 1 GiB RAM 64 GiB [...]
IoT-Ready Computer-On-Module With Two CAN Bus Ports And Linux Operating System
The TS-4100 by Technologic Systems is a low power, high-performance Computer-on-Module powered by the NXP i.MX 6UltraLite ARM® Cortex®-A7 core that is running at up to 695 MHz clock frequency. The standard power consumption is approximately 300 mW with up to 1 GB RAM, 4 GB eMMC flash, 32 bit programmable off-load engine, microSD with UHS support (up to [...]
USB-to-CAN Gateway With Isolated CAN Bus Port Supports Programming In C, C#, Python
IXXAT, a subsidiary of HMS Networks, has introduced their USB-to-CAN adapter called SimplyCAN, which allows the diagnosis, configuration, and commissioning of devices and systems operating in a CAN Bus network via an API without the need for driver installation.The CAN Bus gateway is suitable for mobile and stationary use. The CAN Bus port is galvanically isolated and accessible [...]
CAN Bus To Profinet Gateway Operates As A Profinet IO Device
The CAN-PN gateway by esd electronics links any PROFINET-IO controller to a CAN Bus network. The gateway serves as a PROFINET-IO device with a maximum of 256 bytes of input data and 256 bytes of output data on the PROFINET bus. The CAN-PN connects CAN Bus modules with CANopen (CiA® DS 301) or layer-2 (ISO 11898-1) applications to a Profinet [...]
PICAN2 - Raspberry Pi CAN Bus HAT Supports SocketCAN and Python Programming
The PICAN2 board provides Controller Area Network (CAN) Bus capabilities for the Raspberry Pi. It uses the Microchip MCP2515 CAN controller with MCP2551 CAN transceiver. The CAN Bus connection is via DB9 or 3-way screw terminal. The board is also available with a 5 VDC 1 Amp SMPS (Switch Mode Power Supply) that can power the Raspberry Pi via [...]
