CAN bus devices

14 July 2004 Computer/Embedded Technology

Ceibo has increased its range of computer aids products by introducing CAN bus loggers, analysers, sensors, amongst others. Ceibo offers wireless solutions for CAN data transfer via GSM, (+GPS), GPRS, Infrared, UHF and Bluetooth.

Developed by Bosch in Germany, CAN was originally designed specifically for the automotive market, which remains its primary application area today. However, CAN is also ideal when used as a general industrial bus.

A simple two-wire differential serial bus system, the CAN bus is able to operate in noisy electrical environments with a high level of data integrity, and its open architecture and user-definable transmission medium make it extremely flexible. Capable of high-speed (1 Mbps) data transmission over short distances (40 m) and low-speed (5 Kbps) transmissions at lengths of up to 10 000 m, the CAN bus is highly fault tolerant, and has powerful error detection and handling designed in.

CAN components and devices can also be used as standard modules for analysing and monitoring CAN networks. Ceibo's CANlogger makes it possible to record and play back large volumes of CAN messages without the need for a PC connection. The data is stored on an SRAM PC card (PCMCIA), which can be read using a conventional PC or laptop. The high storage capacity of up to 24 MB provides enough memory for long-term recordings to monitor critical parameters or to record errors that rarely occur.

With easy-to-use Windows software interfacing with MS Excel, the stored data can conveniently be configured and evaluated. By simply loading new software, the device can be flexibly modified to handle new tasks. CANlogger can also be equipped with software and firmware according to the customer's specifications. This device is designed to be used in systems.
