Description
This sensor-to-CAN module generates analogue, digital and pulse measurements from 8 input channels - and outputs the data via the CAN bus. The module is 100% self-contained, no PC required. The compact device offers professional specifications including high accuracy and high frequency sampling - as well as configurable input ranges and digital thresholds.
The module can be integrated into any CAN bus to provide data for ECUs or CAN tools. For example, you can use the module as an add-on for the CANedge from CSS Electronics.
Features
Standalone - no PC required. Integrate it into any CAN bus to add input sensor data. DBC included

Easily add analogue/digital/pulse data to any CAN bus system
Add analogue/digital/pulse data to your CAN bus via 8 input channels - e.g. for use by ECUs or CAN hardware.
- Powerful parallel sampling of analogue/digital/pulse signals
- Configure the input range for optimum resolution/amplification
- Configure digital high/low levels incl. optional hysteresis
- Connect sensors quickly via the optional DB25 input adapter cable
- Optional output of signals via CAN FD for fewer frames
- Link multiple modules for 16, 24, 32, ... Channels
- Special excitation signal to supply input sensors (~3.3 V)
- Supply the device with 5-26 V DC via standard DB9 adapter cable
- Optionally, you can record the data via any CAN interface/logger/... record the data.
- DBC file included for easy decoding into a human readable form
Example: Logging/streaming sensor data
The CANmod.input is often used as an "add-on" for the CANedge . With this setup you can, for example, record vehicle data via channel 1 and analogue/digital/pulse data via channel 2. The data can be easily DBC decoded, for example via the asammdf GUI, Python or MATLAB.
You can also stream the sensor data with SavvyCAN in real time via USB to display raw/decoded data (e.g. via graphs) - ideal for validating your setup before deployment or for lab testing.
Connection of sensors
Connecting digital sensors
Sensors with digital outputs include Hall-effect switches, buttons (e.g. for registering events), reed switches (e.g. for registering the door/valve/latch position), resistance-to-digital sensors (RTD) and more. Many sensors with analogue outputs also generate optional digital outputs.
Connecting pulse sensors (frequency, counter)
Sensors with pulse-oriented outputs include speed sensors (e.g. Hall-effect frequency sensors), rotary position sensors, buttons and toggle switches (event counters), frequency meters and sensors that generate outputs with pulse width modulation (PWM), for example.
Connecting analogue sensors
Sensors that generate analogue outputs include force/pressure (load cells), current, distance (ultrasound, laser, lidar, infrared), rotation (potentiometer), temperature, Hall effect, magnometers, humidity, sound, atmospheric pressure, acceleration, gyroscopes - and many more.
