Four Channel CAN Bus to USB Gateway Using The Arduino Due
In the past, I frequently received inquiries regarding the availability of a four-channel CAN Bus gateway. Such devices exist in the marketplace; however, they are usually costly, and they don't support easy customization or programming. While we at Copperhill Technologies have the ability to create such a gateway, this is primarily a matter of market [...]
Embedded ARM Modules For IoT Applications Support Two CAN FD Ports
The TQMax4xxl modules by TQ Systems represent an LGA (Land Grid Array) based on the Sitara AM243x microcontroller and the AM64xx processor with up to six cores from Texas Instruments. Possible applications include servo motor controllers (for robotics), industrial gateways, data collectors, and small edge servers in production, providing data for the cloud. The module size of [...]
ESP32 Project: CAN Bus, SAE J1939, NMEA2000 Converter With IoT Functionality
It was just a few weeks ago that I received some bad news. Due to the worldwide shortage of electronic components, the NXP LPC1754 processor we use for our SAE J1939 ECU Simulator with USB Port will not be available for several months, maybe even well into 2022. Consequently, it was time to rethink the design, and [...]
SAE J1939 vs. CAN Bus - What's the Difference?
To say it upfront, the difference between SAE J1939 and CAN Bus (Classical CAN and CAN FD) has all to do with so-called "Higher Later Protocols (HLP)," and SAE J1939 is one of them. I have written a post about HLPs (see: Guide to SAE J1939 - CAN Bus Higher Layer Protocols), but I would like [...]
Telematics Gateway With SAE J1939 Data Logging For Predictive Maintenance Of Diesel Engines
The Telematics Gateway from iWave represents a vehicle diagnostics system for monitoring critical vehicle parameters from any place. The device supports four CAN Bus interfaces, including CAN FD, and is suitable for heavy-duty trucks, off-road vehicles, emergency vehicles, and vessels.The gateway utilizes parameters such as location, working duration, engine performance, and engine parameters that require continuous [...]
Programmable CAN / CAN FD Router And Data Logger Comes With Optional Ethernet Port
The PCAN-Router Pro FD by PEAK-System is a six-channel CAN FD router and data logger, which is now offered with an RJ-45 Ethernet interface as an option. The programmable router comes with custom firmware, which is loaded using the CAN Bus network. In addition, the provided development package includes multiple C/C++ programming samples for employing the capabilities [...]
Powertrain Diagnostics Platform For Engine Development Comes With Two CAN FD Interfaces
Kistler introduced its Kibox2, a modular and extendable powertrain diagnostics platform for engine development. The Kibox2 is equipped with two CAN FD interfaces for reading data from the vehicle network. The diagnostic platform is suitable for standard, electric, and hybrid powertrain analysis. It allows time- and angle-based data recording, real-time calculation of combustion parameters, limit value monitoring, [...]
System-On-Module (SOM) Dedicated To Commercial Vehicles Supports Two CAN FD Interfaces
Microsys Electronics announced its Miriac MPX‑LX2160A, a System-On-Module (SOM) dedicated to commercial vehicles and mobile systems. The module supports two CAN FD interfaces.The module is based on the NXP LX2160A processor and offers 16 Arm Cortex-A72 cores, which are twice as many as its predecessors. The configuration meets the requirements of (artificial intelligence) edge server applications, autonomous [...]
