Pro specs CAN logger - at half the cost
The CANedge3 combines innovative design, cutting-edge components - and incredibly low costs:
- 2 x CAN (incl. CAN FD) + 2 x LIN channels
- Extractable 8-32 GB industrial SD card (= months of data)
- Popular binary MDF4 log file format
- Advanced message filtering & transmit functionality
- Start/stop logging triggers based on CAN ID & databytes
- Silent mode, bit rate auto-detection, cyclic logging
- Data compression & encryption (e.g. for GDPR, CCPA)
- Support for CAN/LIN error frame logging
- Fast boot time. Safely disconnect during use (power safe)
The device includes an extractable 8-32 GB industrial SD card for optimal endurance and rapid offline data transfer. It also includes an optional global SIM card.
The CANedge enables logging of raw CAN/LIN data incl. CAN FD, J1939, CANopen, OBD2, UDS, ISOBUS, NMEA2000 - across any CAN/LIN application.
The device is designed to be extremely compact (75 x 47 x 20 mm). Despite the robust aluminium enclosure, it weighs only 100G.
The 2nd port (CH2) provides a configurable 5V power out, letting you easily power e.g. CANmod sensor-to-CAN modules (temperature, analog/digital/pulse, ...)
The 2x high speed CAN channels enable time-synced recording of data from two CAN buses - ideal for e.g. many heavy duty vehicle applications
The CANedge3 comes with flanges to enable easy installation at scale. The 'mounting kit' includes screws and optional vibration dampeners.
You can use your own micro SIM card with the device - or activate the global Super SIM that is included with the device.
USE CASES
The CANedge2 is a powerful, standalone CAN logger for ad hoc analysis, diagnostics and development.
However, the device truly shines in e.g. fleet telematics and IoT machinery setups:
Underground mining & construction
Want to implement vehicle telematics - but your vehicles are underground?
Mining fleets often require automated monitoring, performance monitoring and diagnostics. However, vehicles often only re-surface briefly from mines - making it vital to have an offline 'buffer' if no underground WiFi network is available. Here, the CANedge2 logs data to the SD card and auto-uploads it when the vehicles re-surface and come within range of the WiFi. Further, the GNSS/IMU functionality enables easy tracking of assets - and provides vital signals like position, trip distance, speed and accelerations. Learn more in our mining telematics intro.
Warehouse fleet management
Need to monitor a fleet of AGVs/forklifts in a warehouse?
For site managers/OEMs, the device can collect data from AGV/forklift fleets - e.g. for optimizing battery management. By connecting to the warheouse WiFi, the devices can continuously upload data to your own local/cloud server. This also enables practical predictive maintenace as showcased in this case study of 250+ AGVs.
Vehicle telematics
Need to monitor & optimize a vehicle fleet in near real-time?
For wireless 'on-road' upload of data, the device can connect via a 3G/4G hotspot - or you can use a CANedge3 with internal SIM card for 3G/4G transfer. Alternatively, the CANedge2 can upload data when the vehicle periodically returns to e.g. a terminal WiFi. Ideal for e.g. OBD2 logging, truck fleet management, predictive maintenance and more.
Tip: For 3G/4G use cases, we strongly recommend using the CANedge3.
Remote machine monitoring
Need to remotely monitor & troubleshoot industrial machinery?
Production machinery OEMs often need to deal with diagnostics, maintenance and field breakdowns. Local troubleshooting can be costly and slow. Here, the CANedge2 can be installed to diagnose issues remotely - and/or set up wireless predictive maintenance. Further, with configuration over-the-air, you can e.g. reset the machine via remote controlled transmit messages. Learn more in our CANopen data logger intro.
White label partnerships (OEMs/integrators)
Need a data logger in your product - or as a telematics platform?
The CANedge2 CAN bus logger is easy to integrate in existing systems, making it ideal as a hardware platform for CAN bus telematics solutions. Configuration files, server interfaces, log files etc. all utilize open file formats, with open source API tools available. Further, all software is 100% open source and customizable - for example the CANcloud telematics platform, or the customizable Grafana dashboards.
