MasterCAN data interfaces are data conversion tools between CAN J1939/71, J1708 (SAE J1587) and RS-485/232 (Modbus RTU) interfaces, designed for vehicle telematics (GPS vehicle tracking) and industrial automation (IIoT).
MasterCAN converters are used to integrate machinery or vehicles with different interfaces into a single monitoring and/or management system, to filter J1939/71 and Modbus messages and simplify the configuration of a terminal device – tracker, controller, display.
MasterCAN data converters convert and transmit signals of standard and additional equipment of mobile or stationary machinery into a digital monitoring system.
Digital-to-analog converters MasterCAN DAC convert analog signals into digital data of CAN j1939 standard and vice versa; works simultaneously in two directions.
Goals
- Messages converting between CAN j1939/71, SAE j1587, Modbus RTU protocols
- Integration into a combined monitoring system:
– onboard CAN j1939 and j1708 information buses
– additional equipment with CAN j1939, RS-232, RS-485 interfaces
– analog sensors, lamps, relays - Automation of operation of analog devices (relays, executive mechanisms) using CAN messages of the terminal, sensor, j1939 bus
Advantages
- Versatility – can be used for vehicle telematics, IIoT applications, industrial automation projects
- Flexible configuration of input/output SPN, Modbus registers, data baud rate using service software
- Conformity with automotive standards of the EU and EAEU
- Power supply from on-board automotive electrical network without additional power adapters
Examples of collected and converted data
- Electrical parameters of the diesel power plant alternator
- Fuel – the current volume in the tank, refuelling and draining, hourly consumption
- Axle load, weight of the cargo
- Oils, coolant and other technical fluids – temperature, level, pressure
- Work parameters of additional and attached equipment of vehicles
- Engine operation – RPM, current moment, engine operating time
- Parameters of the industrial equipment
