HMS now introduces the IXXAT USB-to-CAN FD — a USB-connected version which is ideal for mobile analysis and configuration. More interface standards will soon be supported, as IXXAT CAN FD versions for Mini PCIe, PCIe 104, XMC and [...]
Mapping the SAE J1939 Data Link Layer to CAN FD
About SAE J1939 The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) standard SAE J1939 is the vehicle bus recommended practice used for communication and diagnostics among vehicle components. Originating in the car and heavy-duty truck industry in the United States, it is now widely used in other parts of the world. SAE J1939 is used in the commercial vehicle area for [...]
Automotive Ethernet Expected to Gradually Replace Traditional CAN Bus Network Backbone
I recently looked into the not-so-new SAE J1939-22 Standard, which promises to solve the bandwidth issue with Classical CAN. I am a little late addressing the topic since we offer a few SAE J1939 products, such as our SAE J1939 ECU Simulator combined with our JCOM1939 Monitor Software for Windows. Nevertheless, we are working on a new [...]
