Easily add temperature data to any CAN bus system
Add temperature sensor data via 4 thermocouples to your CAN bus - e.g. for use by ECUs or CAN hardware.
- Compatible with any high speed CAN bus (2.0A, 2.0B)
- Fully configure CAN IDs, bit rate and message frequency
- Daisy-chain multiple modules for 8, 12, 16, ... channels
- Power at 5-24 V DC via standard DB9 adapter cables
- Optionally record the data via any CAN interface/logger/...
- Example: Use as add-on for the CANedge (power via 2nd port)
- DBC file included for easy decoding to human-readable form
- White label e.g. for inclusion in your production
Example: Log/stream sensor data
The CANmod.temp is often used as an 'add-on' for the CANedge. This setup lets you record e.g. vehicle data via Channel 1 and temperature data via Channel 2. The data can be easily DBC decoded via e.g. the asammdf GUI, Python or MATLAB. You can also stream the sensor data in real-time via USB using SavvyCAN to view raw/decoded data (e.g. via plots) - ideal for validating your setup pre-deployment or for lab testing.Use cases
The CANmod.temp can be installed standalone in any CAN bus system - including e.g. as an add-on for the CANedge.
Add temperature data to your CAN bus
Need to inject temperature data directly into your CAN bus?
The thermocouple-to-CAN module can be used standalone to inject CAN frames with temperature into your CAN bus system. The data can be consumed by other CAN nodes on the network - e.g. ECUs, cabin displays, CAN loggers or telematics control units (TCU). To ensure compatibility, you can modify the module output bit rate and CAN IDs via the simple config editor. Ideal for use in e.g. automotive development, engine dynos, fleet management, dispute handling and more.
CAN + temperature data logging & telematics
Need to collect vehicle CAN bus and temperature data via SD/WiFi?
The CANmod.temp can be deployed as an 'add-on' module for the CANedge. Simply configure the CANedge to provide a 5V power out via the 2nd port - and connect the CANmod.temp via the optional adapter cable. This lets you log e.g. vehicle CAN bus data via channel 1 and time-synced temperature data via channel 2. This provides a flexible data logger for exhaust gas temperature (EGT) analysis - or a telematics solution for automotive heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) applications.
On-road vehicle temperature telematics
Need to collect vehicle and temperature data via 3G/4G?
The CANedge2 can upload data while on-the-road using e.g. a 3G/4G USB router. You can power the 3G/4G hotspot from the vehicle - or use our DB9-DB9/USB adapter to power both the hotspot and CANmod.temp via the 2nd port of the CANedge2. The uploaded log files can e.g. be visualized in telematics dashboards. Ideal for e.g. 'temperature telematics' use cases like HVAC monitoring, refrigirator tracking for perishable goods, temperature-based alerts, predictive maintenance and more.
Daisy-chaining thermocouple modules
Need a larger number of thermocouple channels?
The CANmod.temp is extremely simple to setup and configure. With all data contained in 1 CAN frame, you can quickly daisy-chain several modules to add 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 30, ... thermocouple channels to your CAN bus (e.g. using DB9-Y-splitters). Every individual thermocouple probes can be independently configured to any type - allowing for complete customization. If you wish to record the data to a CAN bus data logger, you can use the CANedge to easily power a full chain of modules via the 2nd port.
