The CAN Bus Communication Protocol is a Bus protocol that allows electrical elements in an automobile to communicate with one another, such as engine management systems, active suspension, central locking, air conditioning, and airbags. A controller area network is useful for a number of high-level industrial protocols that use CAN and ISO-11898:2003 as its physical layer (CAN). Because of its excellent performance, reliability and upgradeability, it may be used to create a wide range of complex and scalable system designs across different industries.
It is possible to set the ProtoConvert gateway as a CAN passive client. It listens for incoming CAN data and parses the relevant information, which is subsequently broadcast via Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP, BACnet MSTP, BACnet IP, SNMP, ASCII, and other standard communication protocols. The messages can be filtered based on their CAN message IDs, and the incoming data bytes can be received, interpreted, and displayed as is.
Without altering the device, you may effortlessly link your CAN devices to your control system. Simply connect, set up, and you’re ready to go, enabling seamless and cost-effective integration!
We can also create custom functions and data mappings tailored to your specific project needs, ensuring complete flexibility and efficiency.
