Controller for Automotive Applications Supports Three CAN Bus Interfaces
The VC36PLC-24 Controller by Vector was specially developed for communications in electrically-powered commercial vehicles. The ECU hardware offers an interface for the standardized communication, e.g. between electric networks or urban trucks and the charging infrastructure. It features a PLC interface and three CAN interfaces for communication including shielding. The controller provides the physical interface to control the Combo-2 connector [...]
How CAN Bus Automatic Baudrate Detection Works And What To Consider When Connecting To A Network
Automatic CAN Bus baudrate detection comes in handy when you need to connect to a CAN network without knowing its actual transmission speed. Rather than playing with CAN baudrate settings and testing if you are able to see data, the automatic detection will deliver the right result within seconds, however, depending on busload. A heavy [...]
