Any CAN Bus, SAE J1939, NMEA 2000 Development Requires the Right Testing Tools

I want to reiterate a point made in a previous post ("A Beginner's Guide to SAE J1939 Embedded Software Development"): When developing and testing your CAN Bus application, may it be Classical CAN, CAN FD, CANopen, SAE J1939, or NMEA 2000, you need to connect your device to a functional network. One solitary node connected to your [...]

Programmable Six-Channel Classical CAN And CAN FD Router Supports I/O And Data Logging

The Six-Channel PCAN-Router Pro FD by PEAK Systems connects the data traffic of modern CAN FD and classic CAN Bus networks. Pluggable CAN Bus transceiver modules provide universal adaptation for each CAN-Bus channel to match their individual requirements. In addition, the router comes with an analog input and four digital I/Os. The CAN Bus data traffic can [...]

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 [...]
