Description
The plug & play 2xCAN/LIN logger records timestamped CAN data (Classical/CAN FD) to the extractable 8 GB industrial SD card.
The small device connects via WiFi access points (e.g. WLAN or 3G/4G routers) to securely push data to your server. Further, the device can be updated over-the-air.
Ideal for telematics, R&D field tests, diagnostics and predictive maintenance.
Software/APIs are free & open source - with no subscription
fees or vendor lock-in.
FEATURES
Pro specs CAN logger - at half the cost
The CANedge2 combines innovative design, cutting-edge components - and incredibly low costs:
l Dual high speed CAN/LIN (incl. CAN FD) channels
l Extractable 8-32 GB industrial SD card (= months of data)
l Binary MDF4 log file format
l Advanced message filtering & transmit functionality
l Start/stop logging triggers based on CAN ID & databytes
l Silent mode, bit rate auto-detection, cyclic logging
l Data compression & encryption (e.g. for GDPR, CCPA)
l Support for CAN/LIN error frame logging
l Fast boot time. Safely disconnect during use (power safe)
Reinventing telematics
Today, fleet telematics is vital across vehicles and machines.
However, end users face challenges: Expensive subscriptions. No data ownership. Security concerns. Vendor lock-in.
The CANedge2 provides a modern alternative:
l Upload data to your own local/dedicated/cloud server
l Simply add WiFi access point & server details to the config
l Log data to the SD and auto-upload when connected to WiFi
l Configure file split size/period to control upload frequency
l 100% secure: HTTPS, credential encryption and more
l Manage via over-the-air updates (firmware & configuration)
l Power e.g. a 4G hotspot or GPS-to-CAN via the 2nd port
l Zero fees. Zero lock-in. Interoperable. Open source tools
Open source software/API - naturally
The CANedge2 uses open formats (MDF4 data, JSON config, S3 server) - and all software/APIs are 100% free and open source.
The software toolbox includes:
l Editors: Easily modify your device config (online/offline)
l Converters: Convert data to Vector ASC, PEAK TRC, CSV, ...
l asammdf GUI: DBC convert, plot and export your data
l Python API: Automate your data processing & integrations
l Dashboards: Visualize data in custom browser dashboards
l CANcloud: Manage connected CANedge2 devices & data
l S3 drive: Mount your S3 server as a 'local drive'
