PCIe Board Features Four Channels For CAN FD/Classical CAN And LIN Bus Connectivity
HMS Networks extended its IXXAT PC-interface portfolio with the introduction of its multi-channel board CAN-IB 640/PCIe, which provides four channels, each for CAN FD/Classical CAN and LIN Bus connectivity.Automotive systems and industrial applications often operate using several Classical CAN and CAN FD networks, connected to additional testing, monitoring, and control systems. The multi-channel CAN-IB 640/PCIe card [...]
STM32G4-Based CANopen FD Starter Kit Supports Both Classical CAN And CAN FD
The Emotas CANopen FD starter kit provides a CAN FD micro-controller board, an extension board with CAN FD transceiver, and a CAN FD USB interface for the rapid prototyping of CANopen FD applications. CANopen FD, as specified in the CAN in Automation (CiA) specification 1301, uses the new features of CAN FD such as a higher data bit-rate [...]
Classical CAN, CAN FD To Ethernet Gateway And Bridge For IoT Connectivity
HMS Networks has extended the functionality of its Ixxat CAN@net NT and CANbridge NT series. Users can now add event-controlled network actions and bi-directional MQTT-messaging to cloud applications.Both product families enable CAN-based networking on-site and remotely. The CANbridge NT allows the coupling of up to four Classical CAN and CAN FD networks using filter and translation rules. Network [...]
Network Gateway For Automotive Ethernet, Classical CAN, And CAN FD
Vector Informatik released its VN5620 network gateway for Automotive Ethernet and Classical CAN, as well as CAN FD networks. The two CAN FD interfaces utilize the TJA1057 transceivers from NXP.The device is suitable for data analysis, simulation, and testing tasks. The data monitoring per Ethernet warrants a transparent connection between two nodes with a precise timestamp. [...]
Embedded Development Kit With CAN FD, LIN BUS, Bluetooth Connectivity For Gateway Design
NXP has released its KW38 micro-controller, which provides all components for automotive gateway designs. The wireless MCUs integrate the long-range capability with Bluetooth low energy (BLE) version 5.0 and generic FSK radio. Delivering a -105-dBm sensitivity with LE-coded 125 kbit/s data rate provides reliable connections in harsh environments and at extended distances. The data stream buffer [...]
SAE J1939 And The Challenging Migration From Classical CAN To CAN FD and CAN XL
The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Truck and Bus Control and Communications Subcommittee has developed a family of standards concerning the design and use of devices that transmit electronic signals and control information among vehicle components. SAE J1939 and its companion documents have quickly become the accepted industry standard and the vehicle network of choice for off-highway [...]
Embedded ARM Cortex-A35 Modules With Up To Three CAN FD Interfaces
TQ-Systems (Germany) introduced their TQMa8xx and TQMa8xxs embedded modules that feature three, and respectively two CAN FD interfaces. The TQMa8xx module offers integrated graphics, a DSP (Digital Signal Processor) for audio processing, and security-related functions. To meet various requirements, three CPU (Central Processing Unit) alternatives with a dual-core or quad-core ARM Cortex-A35 processor are available. Each core supports a [...]

It is an IoT device containing everything required to combine industrial-quality network control, monitoring, and processing in nearly any device. The easy-to-use development suite includes everything needed to learn quickly, code, test, and deploy an industrial-strength embedded solution.Besides the ARM platform hardware, the [...]
The Benefits Of Controller Area Network - CAN Bus - For Embedded Applications
The following is an excerpt from A Comprehensible Controller Area Network by Wilfried Voss. Controller Area Network, like any field-bus system based on serial communication, will reduce wiring, which was initially considered only as an advantageous side effect. Distributed control, i.e., the use of a multi-processor system, will consequently result in increased performance, and the vastly reduced costs [...]
