4-channel CAN FD interface for dynamic data acquisition
The competitively priced CAN FD also offers intuitive ease of use and enhanced performance over alternative systems. ATI’s CANary FD connects easily to a PC using a USB and provides a simple method for data collection even when using non-ATI-specific software. The 38×64.2×20.4mm unit has been designed to be more compact and robust than alternatives, at 28.3g it is lighter than many 1- and 3-channel CAN interfaces. All four channels are galvanically isolated, also providing a more robust solution than the PC isolation found elsewhere. Each channel has its own mechanically switchable CAN termination, which eliminates the requirement for additional, external termination resistors. This functionality aids packaging and set-up, and termination is even provided when the CANary FD is not powered.
OBDII diagnostics can also be carried out over CAN using a J2534 driver, which makes the CANary FD compatible with a wide range of software, providing users with a cost-effective interface tool. Accurate Technologies – www.accuratetechnologies.com
