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.

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.
