Contactless CAN Bus And SAE J1939 Data Monitoring With CANCrocodile
For the longest time, i.e. since the time we introduced our contactless CAN Bus readers, I had been eager to play with the CANCrocodile and read/monitor CAN Bus data traffic in a truly unique way. The setup, as shown in the above image, took less than 30 minutes to assemble (some soldering was required) and to finally [...]
SAE J1939 Starter Kit With Diesel Engine Simulation Plus VIN Request Demo
Our JCOM.J1939 Starter Kit And Network Simulator is designed to allow the experienced engineer as well as the beginner to experiment with SAE J1939 data communication without the need of connecting to a real-world SAE J1939 network, i.e. a diesel engine. It may sound obvious, but in order to establish a network, you need at least two [...]
Digital I/O Module For Operations In CANopen And CANopen FD Networks
Peak-System Technik and EmSA (Embedded Systems Academy) have joined forces and developed the PCAN-MicroMod FD DR CANopen Digital 1, an I/O device with eight digital inputs and eight outputs. The I/O module comes in a DIN-rail mountable housing with screw terminal strips. The eight digital inputs and eight digital outputs are galvanically isolated from the power supply, [...]
Automotive ECU Development With ARM Cortex Processor Supporting Up To Eight CAN FD Interfaces
The UDE (Universal Debugging Engine) by PLS (Germany) provides debugging and analysis functions for NXP’s S32S247 and i.MX RT MCUs with up to eight CAN FD (Flexible Data Rate) interfaces. The S32S247 multi-core controller combines four 800-MHz Cortex-R52 processors with 64-MiB integrated flash memory. Designed for safety-related real-time applications up to ASIL-D (automotive safety integrity level), the device is suitable [...]
PCI Express Mini Card With Two Electrically Isolated CAN FD Interfaces
ESD Electronics (Germany) introduced their CAN-M.2/402-2-FD PCIe card with two electrically isolated CAN FD (Flexible Data Rate) interfaces. The autonomous CAN Bus interfaces are controlled by the EsdACC (Advanced CAN Core) implemented in an Intel FPGA, and it is certified according to ISO-16845:2004. The FPGA supports direct memory access (DMA), also called “Bus mastering,” enabling autonomous data transfer [...]
SAE J1939 Gateway And Data Logger With Real-Time Clock - Update 08-07-2020
Our SAE J1939 Gateway And Data Logger is ideal 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). [...]
NXP ARM Cortex‑M7 Computer-On-Module With Dual CAN Bus Interface
F&S Elektronik Systeme (Germany) announced its PicoCore RT1, a compact-size controller (35 mm x 40 mm) with two CAN Bus interfaces.The computer-on-module integrates the 600‑MHz i.MX RT1050 ARM Cortex‑M7 from NXP. For the internal working memory, an SDRAM is available. For the program memory, SPI-connectable flash memory is offered. Additionally, an external SD-card slot is provided. The [...]
SAE J1939 Vehicle Bus Adapters For FMS And IoT - Test & Development Aspects
As it turns out, I recently received two inquiries that involved the testing of wireless vehicle bus adapters for FMS and IoT applications, thus requiring the simulation of SAE J1939 data traffic. In one case, the device in question was the Wireless Vehicle Adapter (WVA) by Digi; the second case involved an unspecified IoT device. In [...]
Miniature Joystick With CAN Bus Interface Supports SAE J1939 And CANopen
Megatron introduced its TRY120 series of miniature joysticks with an installation depth of 26 mm. The onboard CAN Bus interface supports the CANopen and SAE J1939 serial protocols. With the TRY120 series, Megatron expands the TRY100 finger joystick series with a version for the operation in harsh environments. Both sets use identical geometries and thus allow a direct replacement. The [...]
IoT Enabled Controller With CAN Bus Port Supports SAE J1939 And NMEA 2000 Protocols
Divelbiss Corporation introduced its HEC-P2000 Family of IoT enabled controllers, offering the highest control capability in harsh environments. The HEC-P2000 family renders maximum flexibility for controlling mobile equipment, communicating with various serial bus protocols, logging system data, or adding Internet of Things (IoT) capability to existing systems. The device can be programmed using the FREE Divelbiss [...]
