Battery Charger With SAE J1939 Interface Suitable For Electric Vehicles
The RC1000 24-V battery charger from Delta-Q is intended for use in residential and industrial electric applications as well as electric vehicles. The CAN Bus interface, supporting the CANopen and SAE J1939 higher-layer protocols, provides real-time charger data including charge status, charge history as well as error and fault logs for quicker troubleshooting. The charger is suitable for applications in [...]
Guide To SAE J1939 - CAN Bus Higher Layer Protocols
The following is an excerpt from A Comprehensible Guide To J1939 by Wilfried Voss. Even though extremely effective in automobiles and small applications, CAN alone is not suitable for machine automation, since its communication between devices is limited to only 8 bytes per message. As a consequence, higher layer protocols such as CANopen for machine control, DeviceNet for factory automation and [...]
Safe Wireless CAN Bus Bridge For Machine To Machine Communication Also Supports SAE J1939
The CAN-Sync wireless CAN Bus bridge from Humanistic Robotics (HRI) allows the user to transmit CAN data wirelessly over a transparent point-to-point bridge, without modifying the data. Higher-Layer Protocols such as SAE J1939 and CANopen are also supported.The product provides a wireless link between two CAN Bus interfaces with HRI’s Safetysense technology which is designed to guarantee that critical control [...]
Controller Area Network (CAN Bus) - Serial Network Technology For Embedded Systems
Controller Area Network (CAN) is a serial network technology that was originally designed for the automotive industry, especially for European cars, but has also become a popular bus in industrial automation as well as other applications. The CAN bus is primarily used in embedded systems, and as its name implies, is a network technology that provides fast communication among microcontrollers [...]
Isolated CANopen I/O system With Eight Digital Inputs And Eight Digital Outputs
The Hipecs-CIO103 module from Frenzel + Berg (Germany) is a CANopen I/O system with eight digital inputs and eight digital outputs. The CAN Bus network is galvanically isolated. According to the manufacturer, the product’s output technology differs significantly from other I/O modules in the marketplace, since the power drivers of the module can drive up to 2 Amps on [...]
