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.

One solution circumventing the limitations of CANopen (limited bandwidth, limited system extension) would be switching completely to Ethernet POWERLINK. However, for many systems this would be like the tail wagging the dog since the POWERLINK technology is more expensive than the CANopen technology (e.g. cabling costs, hardware costs, system integration costs). Instead of converting a system completely from CANopen to POWERLINK, it often makes sense to build a new system structure using several subsystems. The following two system architectures are possible…

The FlexRay/CAN Gateway software package enables the user to set up a flexible and configurable gateway for the transmission of FlexRay messages and signals to CAN, based on the FlexRay CCM or the FRC-EP150 hardware platform. In case of using the new FlexRay platform FRC-EP150, easy user configurable gateways with up to four CAN interfaces are possible.
The transmission can be performed in both directions and is especially useful for applications where existing CAN-based measurement and control technology has to be integrated into FlexRay environments. In addition, data exchange from CAN-to-CAN and FlexRay-to-FlexRay is possible.
