CANobserver

pastors — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 15:14:51 +0000

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.

The CANobserver comes with LEDs to display busload and error status and optionally the power supply status. In addition, free programmable error outputs can be used to trigger external devices and signalers.
An Ethernet interface is used to connect the CANobserver to the PC, which also enables the operation of the device by an easy to use web interface. Recorded messages can be stored using the universal XML format. The connection of the device with a control center can be made via SNMP.

The CANobserver comes in an IP20 aluminum housing for DIN rail mounting. The power can be supplied within a wide range between 9 – 36 V DC.

CAN Trouble Shooting Seminar

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.

As supplement, IXXAT offers a CAN technology seminar, which can be booked in combination with the CAN network analysis seminar. This enables the participants to gain profound CAN basics and additional practical know-how for commissioning and analyzing in a fast and compact way.

In autumn the following seminars are offered:

- CAN seminar: Oct. 20, 2009
- CAN network analysis seminar: Oct. 21, 2009
- CANopen seminar: Oct. 22.-23, 2009
- EtherNet/IP seminar: Sept. 24.-25, 2009

These and further seminars are also offered as in-house seminars in German or English language.

Long-term monitoring of CAN systems

pastors — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 07:12:28 +0000

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.

International Webpage

Besides our comprehensive company webpage in German and English language, we created a new internet platform for international customers which was launched in mid-June.

The new, multilingual technology pages provide an overview of the IXXAT product range in English, German, Spanish, Italian, French, Swedish and Japanese language.

This enables visitors to get a brief description of the desired product in their mother language, with the possibility to switch to a detailed product description in English language.

Besides the IXXAT weblog and the RSS feed, which provide the latest information about products, updates and events, the new international pages are another step forward in the improvement of the IXXAT webpage to provide product news easier and more comfortable for our customers.

Information about CAN, CANopen, DeviceNet, J1939, Powerlink, EtherNet/IP, Profinet, FlexRay, LIN, IEEE 1588 on the international technology pages:

for canAnalyser allows a clearly interpreted display of DeviceNet messages.

This extension module for the canAnalyser enables the interpretation of received CAN messages in accordance with the ODVA DeviceNet standard. Received messages are analyzed according to the type of message and displayed as plain text. By means of powerful filters the data to be displayed can be specifically selected.
