LIN To CAN Bus Gateway - Implementing CAN Bus And Lin Bus Master With Arduino-Compatible Teensy Board
This post is a follow-up to a previous entry, LIN To CAN Bus Gateway - Prototyping And Firmware Development With The Arduino-Compatible Teensy Board. The Teensy USB Development Board Teensy is a brand of microcontroller development boards created by PJRC and designed by the co-owner, Paul Stoffregen. As a long-time maker of creative technologies, Paul saw the versatility [...]
PCI-Express (PCIe) CAN Bus/LIN Bus Network Interface For Accessing CAN Bus And LIN Bus Networks
Vector announced its newest PCIe network interface board, the VN1530, supporting four onboard communication ports and two additional piggybacks for increased flexibility. The system supports channel combinations for interfacing to CAN Bus, CAN FD, LIN Bus, and other network technologies. The board addresses the growing demand for more channels, especially at test benches, test PCs and in-rack use.The product [...]
Interpreting CAN Bus, LIN Bus, RS485, RS232 Networks Per Logic Analyzer
Ikalogic (France) has launched a series of test instruments, including the SP209, a nine-channel, 200‑MHz logic analyzer which can, among other serial technologies, interpret CAN Bus protocols. The series aims to analyze CMOS logic signals and industrial networks alike. The SP209 combines specific receivers for most common industrial systems like CAN Bus, LIN Bus, EIA‑485, or EIA‑232. The [...]
LIN Bus To USB Gateway Simulates LIN Master Or LIN Slave
The Baby-LIN-II device by Lipowsky Industrie-Elektronik is a small but powerful system to control a LIN Bus via USB. It simulates LIN Bus master or LIN Bus slave nodes. The electrically-isolated LIN interface bypasses problems in noisy electrical environments.The device also supports stand-alone operation without a PC. A durability test sequence can be defined as a macro and [...]
Compute, Data Logger, Sensor Unit Motherboard for Autonomous Development With CAN Bus, CAN FD, LIN Bus Support
Intrepid Control Systems (USA) introduced its autonomousONE motherboard, an all-in-one data-logger that combines various inputs into a single open platform.The data-logger strives to assist automakers, suppliers, and automotive vehicle researchers in speeding up their autonomous vehicle development by substituting a trunk full of devices with a single interface device. The device links multiple components of autonomous [...]
Local Interconnect Network (LIN) To Controller Area Network (CAN Bus) Converter
The LIN (Local Interconnect Network) bus is an inexpensive serial communications protocol, which effectively supports remote application within a car's network. It is particularly intended for mechatronic nodes in distributed automotive applications, but is equally suited to industrial applications. It is intended to complement the existing CAN network leading to hierarchical networks within cars.Controller Area Network [...]
LIN Bus Configuration And Test Environment for Embedded Solutions Such As The Arduino Uno
LIN (Local Interconnect Network) is a serial network protocol used for communication between components in vehicles. The need for a cheap serial network arose as the technologies and the facilities implemented in the car grew, while the CAN bus was too expensive to implement for every component in the car. European car manufacturers started using [...]
Electronic Control Unit (ECU) With Five CAN Bus Ports Plus Ethernet, Flexray, And LIN Bus Interfaces
Expinovo (Germany) has developed an ECU (electronic control unit) with multiple interfaces used in in-vehicle networks, including five CAN Bus ports. The CatchTheBus® device supports the CAN FD protocols (four of the five CAN interfaces). The programmable ECU by Expinovo also provides interfaces for Ethernet, Flexray, LIN (two ports), and EIA-232 (two ports). Additionally, the product features four [...]
