CANCrocodile - Contactless CAN Bus, SAE J1939, OBD-II, And SAE J1708 Reader

Posted by Industry News on

CANCrocodile - Contactless CAN Bus, SAE J1939, OBD-II, And SAE J1708 Reader

CAN (J1939) and J1708 networks transport multiple valuable information for telematics of vehicles and stationary objects, such as engine parameters, ABS, EPS, diagnostic codes (DTC), and much more. Crocodile contactless readers are used in telematics systems to gather data from digital buses without breaking the insulation of wires and electrical contacts and without sending active requests or being detected by the ECU.

CANCrocodile - Contactless CAN Bus Reader

CANCrocodile is designed for safe data reading from the vehicle's CAN network. The contactless reader is used within vehicle telematics and GPS tracking systems for receiving various vehicle operation parameters from the CAN Bus, such as speed, RPM, oil pressure & temperature, fuel volume & consumption, and more.

1708Crocodile - Contactless SAE J1708 Bus Reader

1708Crocodile is designed for safe data reading from J1708 bus (SAE J1587) of vehicles. The contactless reader is used within vehicle telematics and GPS tracking systems for receiving various parameters of vehicle operation from the bus, such as speed, RPM, oil pressure & temperature, fuel volume & consumption, and more.

CANCrocoLITE - Contactless CAN Bus Reader

CANCrocoLITE is a tool for Telematics systems used for data reading from the onboard CAN bus of personal cars and light commercial vehicles without interfering with the integrity of electronic circuits. 

FMSCrocodile - Contactless FMS Gateway

FMSCrocodile is used within vehicle telematics systems to safely integrate data from one or more automotive buses into CAN/S6 Telematics Interface. FMSCrocodile allows obtaining a large number of vehicle operating parameters via just one CAN-port of the telematics unit.

Crocodile Features

  • Reads CAN Bus data traffic without breaking wires' insulation;
  • Has LED indication of operating modes;
  • Does not require pre-configuration;
  • Powered by on-board network of machinery;
  • Easy to install and operate;
  • Reliable mounting of wires within reader housing;
  • Sealing to protect against interference.
