See how IXXAT CANbridge users can implement flexible software filtering and packet modifications with the CANbridge ADK.

This video demonstrates how users can utilize IXXAT’s CANbridge Application Developer’s Kit (ADK) to create custom software for filtering and modification of all CAN messages which are received by the two CAN channels within the CANbridge.  Applications includes protocol conversion, packet data modifications and filtering based on data values.  The ADK is available for all industrial and automotive versions of the CANbridge.

CARcorder – Data Logger for FlexRay and CAN

The CARcorder is available as Basic or Plus version. The Basic version provides already six CAN interfaces (ISO 11898-2 / 11898-3), two LIN and two RS232 interfaces, an USB host/device interface as well as an interface switchable between SAE J1850 and K/L-line. In addition, the device comes with digital and analog inputs and outputs each providing eight channels.
Furthermore, the Plus version of the CARcorder offers a FlexRay interface with two channels.

The two processor architecture of the CARcorder enables the fanless device to record all data synchronous and without any losses in real time and with a time stamp accuracy of 1 µs.

The new CANobserver from IXXAT enables the physical and logical long-term monitoring of CAN, CANopen and DeviceNet systems. For this, the device is permanently integrated into the network and continuously monitors and records the data transfer.

Sporadic negative impacts, such as external EMC interferences or a slowly deteriorating signal quality caused by worn plug connections, can be detected by the physical layer diagnosis and logical frame monitoring in a timely manner. Thus, the CANobserver is able to inform the system operator before any communication error occurs.

With its new “CAN network analysis seminar”, IXXAT now offers a one-day training specially intended for developers of CAN devices and service engineers.

The seminar provides an overview about possibilities and procedures for the successful analysis of CAN bus systems. This includes analysis of the communication level, e.g. for CAN device or network software development, as well as testing on physical level, e.g. for design and commissioning of CAN networks.
In addition, procedures for systematic and successful troubleshooting and elimination of existing distortion and error sources are explained in detail and presented using practical examples.
The protocol independent approach makes the seminar also interesting for CANopen, DeviceNet and SAE J1939 users.

The new CANobserver is a diagnostic tool for physical and logical long-term monitoring of CAN-bus systems and is designed as a locally installed supplement to the CAN-Bus-Tester 2. It is integrated permanently into the network, monitors the data transfer continuously and records it automatically for a period of up to four years.

Sporadic bus interferences, such as external EMC interference or a slowly deteriorating signal quality attributable to worn plug connections, can be detected in good time by using the CANobserver.
