Industrial CAN Bus Gateway Data Logger, Bridge, And Network Extender With EtherCAT Connection

HMS Networks introduced the IXXAT CANnector solution for logging, bridging, and extending Classical CAN Bus and CAN FD networks. The device complements and is compatible with the existing CAN@net NT and CANbridge NT series. Three pre-configured versions are available in addition to a generic stand-alone device (no PC is needed). The CANnector supports the transmission of CAN/CAN [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
