Description

 

The plug & play 2xCAN/LIN logger records timestamped CAN data (Classical/CAN FD) to the extractable 8 GB industrial SD card.

The small device connects via WiFi access points (e.g. WLAN or 3G/4G routers) to securely push data to your server. Further, the device can be updated over-the-air.

Ideal for telematics, R&D field tests, diagnostics and predictive maintenance.

Software/APIs are free & open source - with no subscription fees or vendor lock-in.

 

FEATURES

 

 

 

Pro specs CAN logger - at half the cost

The CANedge2 combines innovative design, cutting-edge components - and incredibly low costs:

 

l  Dual high speed CAN/LIN (incl. CAN FD) channels

l  Extractable 8-32 GB industrial SD card (= months of data)

l  Binary MDF4 log file format

l  Advanced message filtering & transmit functionality

l  Start/stop logging triggers based on CAN ID & databytes

l  Silent mode, bit rate auto-detection, cyclic logging

l  Data compression & encryption (e.g. for GDPR, CCPA)

l  Support for CAN/LIN error frame logging

l  Fast boot time. Safely disconnect during use (power safe)

 

Reinventing telematics

 

Today, fleet telematics is vital across vehicles and machines.

However, end users face challenges: Expensive subscriptions. No data ownership. Security concerns. Vendor lock-in.

 

The CANedge2 provides a modern alternative:

 

l  Upload data to your own local/dedicated/cloud server

l  Simply add WiFi access point & server details to the config

l  Log data to the SD and auto-upload when connected to WiFi

l  Configure file split size/period to control upload frequency

l  100% secure: HTTPS, credential encryption and more

l  Manage via over-the-air updates (firmware & configuration)

l  Power e.g. a 4G hotspot or GPS-to-CAN via the 2nd port

l  Zero fees. Zero lock-in. Interoperable. Open source tools

 

 

Open source software/API - naturally

 

 

The CANedge2 uses open formats (MDF4 data, JSON config, S3 server) - and all software/APIs are 100% free and open source.

 

The software toolbox includes:

 

l  Editors: Easily modify your device config (online/offline)

l  Converters: Convert data to Vector ASC, PEAK TRC, CSV, ...

l  asammdf GUI: DBC convert, plot and export your data

l  Python API: Automate your data processing & integrations

l  Dashboards: Visualize data in custom browser dashboards

l  CANcloud: Manage connected CANedge2 devices & data

l  S3 drive: Mount your S3 server as a 'local drive'
