Controller Area Network (CAN Bus) And Higher-Layer Protocols CANopen, SAE J1939, NMEA 2000
For the longest time, the major misconception about Controller Area Network (CAN) was that it merely applies to automobiles. The truth is, CAN, since its introduction in 1986, proved to be a robust, versatile, and straightforward technology and, consequently, the CAN Bus technology found its way into all areas of applications where microprocessors need to [...]
Programmable Converter With Dual CAN FD, LIN, RS-232 Ports And microSD Slot
The CANFD LIN Gateway by MACH SYSTEMS is an easy-to-use, easy-to-program router, data logger, and simulator that features two CAN FD channels, a LIN channel, an RS-232 port, a microSD card slot, and multiple digital and analog inputs and outputs. The firmware can be developed using C/C++ in a free-of-charge IDE, and the user can load the application [...]
SMARC Module With Intel Pentium/Celeron/Atom x6000 Series Supports Two CAN FD Ports
Advantech launched their SMARC 2.1 SOM‑2532 module, designed with real-time automation control, edge-connected, and safety-critical applications in mind.The module combines the 10-nm Intel Elkhart Lake processor with up to four cores and 16‑GiB LPDDR4 memory. The CPU (Central Processing Unit) performance is improved by a margin of more than 40 % and graphic performance up to two [...]
Industrial And Military-Strength Galvanically Isolated Classical CAN And CAN FD Breakout Boards
We at Copperhill Technologies are currently developing a new product, the JCOM.CAN.QUAD, a galvanically isolated four-channel CAN-to-USB gateway board. More precisely, two of the interfaces support Classical CAN, while another two operate as CAN FD (Flexible Data Rate) ports. For the sake of maximum flexibility, we decided to use a sandwich design where separate CAN boards [...]
Design Concept: Raspberry Pi System With Four Isolated CAN Bus Interfaces
Copperhill Technologies currently develops their JCOM.CAN.QUAD product, a galvanically isolated four-channel CAN-to-USB gateway board. More precisely, two of the interfaces support Classical CAN, while another two operate as CAN FD (Flexible Data Rate) ports. The board comes with two UART ports, which allow the use of external LIN Bus breakout boards, such as our Isolated LIN Bus Breakout [...]
PiCAN FD Functionality Test - CAN Bus FD Duo Board with Real Time Clock for Raspberry Pi
CAN FD (CAN with Flexible Data-Rate) is an updated version of the CAN 2.0B protocol. It takes into account the requirement of the automotive industry to make Classical CAN faster. To achieve that, two principles have been introduced: Faster transfer of the data frame – the Arbitration Field (ID and Acknowledgement) remain unchanged so that the arbitration [...]
STM32 Ultra-Low-Power IoT Development Kit With Integrated CAN FD Interface
Rutronik introduced its development kit RUTDevKit-STM32L5 for AI-based (Artificial Intelligence) applications at the edge. The kit also comes with a CAN FD interface.The kit utilizes the 110-MHz STM32L562ZET6Q micro-controller. The 32-bit Arm Cortex-M33 processor with Arm Trustzone function offers hardware-based security features. The core implements a protected processing environment for cyber protection and sensitive code and an [...]
Under Development: Galvanically Isolated Quad Channel CAN Bus to USB Gateway For Industrial And Automotive Applications
A few months ago, we introduced a development concept for an Automotive Network Development System with CAN, CAN FD, LIN, Ethernet. After further market research plus very much appreciated feedback from customers, we decided to modify the concept and basically create two devices, one for CAN and LIN, the other to CAN and Ethernet. Ethernet, in [...]
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 [...]
