Programmable ECU and GPS Modules with Classical CAN, CAN FD, SAE J1939 Connections

Posted by Industry News on

PCAN-GPS Programmable Sensor Module with CAN Connection

PEAK-System presented several innovative I/O products with Classical CAN and CAN FD connections in this year's Embedded World trade show. 

The versatile control unit PCAN-MicroMod FD ECU integrates customer-specific accessories for automotive applications. For this purpose, the device offers a CAN FD connection and a combination of analog and digital I/Os. The I/O processing and message transmission can be configured using Windows software and transmitted via the CAN Bus connection. The rugged enclosure with two automotive connectors permits commercial and heavy-duty vehicles to operate under harsh environmental conditions. In addition, the PCAN-MicroMod FD ECU supports the communication standards SAE J1939 and SAE J1939 FD, which are standard in commercial vehicles.

Furthermore, PEAK-System introduced their new programmable sensor module PCAN-GPS FD. Current sensors include a satellite receiver, a magnetic field sensor, an acceleration sensor, and a gyroscope to determine position and orientation. The received data can be processed using the integrated microcontroller based on Arm Cortex-M4 and transmitted via Classical CAN or CAN FD. The supplied development package allows the modification of the sensor module's functionality to match specific application requirements.

SAE J1939 Starter Kit And Network Simulator

SAE J1939 Starter Kit And Network Simulator

The SAE J1939 starter kit allows you to monitor, simulate, and record any PGN as defined in the SAE J1939-71 Standard but also including diagnostic messages according to SAE J1939-73.

The starter kit was not designed to simulate specific diesel engines, but if you enter all PGNs that are being used, you can design and simulate any diesel engine.

A New Generation of SAE J1939 Gateway, ECU Simulator, and Starter Kit

Like many other businesses, we have to deal with the global shortage of electronic components. For instance, the NXP LPC 17xx processors we used for our SAE J1939 gateways and the starter kit are not available at this time. Even worse, there is no reliable information if/when production resumes. This situation forced us to rethink [...]

SAE J1939 Programming with Arduino - Address Claim And Preferred Address

This post is part of a series about SAE J1939 ECU Programming & Vehicle Bus Simulation with Arduino. For the purpose of a quick address claiming process, each control application should maintain a preferred address. SAE J1939/81 recommends that the preferred address (i.e. the address the ECU/CA attempts to claim on power-up) should be re-programmable to permit the proper configuration of [...]
