SAE J1939 Data Logger - SD Micro Card Capacity And Write Speed Requirements
Our SAE J1939 Gateway And Data Logger was designed for vehicle fleet management (trucks, buses, agricultural equipment, and any other diesel engine application), prototype field testing, diagnostics, or reverse engineering. The SAE J1939 Gateway And Data Logger records SAE J1939 message frames (PGNs) onto an onboard MicroSD memory card and timestamps them with a real-time clock (RTC). Alternatively, it [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
LIN Bus Serial Analyzer Development Tool For Automotive Applications
The LIN Serial Analyzer development tool enables the user to monitor and communicate to a LIN (Local Interface Network) bus using a Personal Computer (PC). It is a powerful tool that can be used to send messages, monitoring the bus traffic, perform error checks, and filter messages. There are many other features, allowing the user to [...]
USB/CAN Interface For Direct Connection To Embedded PC Motherboards
The CPC-USB/embedded by EMS Thomas Wunsche represents a CAN Bus interface designed for use with internal USB ports. Due to its compact size, it is well suitable for applications in embedded PCs. It is installed straight at a SUB-D9 enclosure opening or a slot panel, and it is wired per included cable to a pin connector of [...]
CAN Bus To Fiber Optics Converter For Electrical Isolation And EMI/RFI Immunity
S.I. Tech (USA) introduced its Model 2149R CAN Bus to Fiber Repeater, a component that converts electrical CAN Bus signals to optical signals. The maximum data transfer speed on the electrical side is 1 Mbit/s.The use of fiber-optic converters allows for effective electrical isolation between the attached devices, protecting them from electrical surges, and providing EMI/RFI [...]
LIN To CAN Bus Gateway - Prototyping And Firmware Development With The Arduino-Compatible Teensy Board
In general, let's start with a brief comparison of CAN Bus (Controller Area Network) and LIN Bus (Local Interconnect Network): LIN Bus networks provide cost-efficient communication in applications where the bandwidth and versatility of the CAN Bus technology are not required. LIN Bus applications are relatively inexpensive using the standard serial universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter (UART) technology, which are embedded [...]
Industrial IoT 4G LTE Router & Gateway With Ethernet, RS232, RS485 Serial Ports Plus Digital I/O
The ICR-3200 LTE gateway by Advantech represents an excellent solution to connect IP or serial devices to a cellular network, allowing industrial M2M and IoT applications that comprise of kiosks, industrial PCs, HMIs, traffic controllers, meters, UPS systems, and more.Supporting LTE Cat.4 upload speeds of up to 50 Mbps and download speeds of up to 150 Mbps, the [...]
CAN Bus And SAE J1939 Prototyping With The Arduino Due ARM Cortex M3 Processor
Whenever it comes to building rapid prototypes for new CAN Bus or SAE J1939 applications, my first choice is regularly the Arduino Due, a microcontroller board based on the Atmel SAM3X8E ARM Cortex-M3 CPU.In general, the Arduino platform couples an easy-to-use programming environment (IDE) with a vast number of hardware extensions (shields). While I do appreciate programming [...]
SAE J1939 to Bluetooth Gateway - Android Code (Java) Sample Code
Just as a fair warning upfront, the code that I am referring to in this post is not a finished sample code, but it demonstrates how to receive and decode SAE J1939 message frames (PGNs) from our JCOM Bluetooth device. Please be aware that we provide this code as a courtesy to experienced Android programmers (which [...]
