Background:
TÜV certification refers to a quality and safety certification provided by Technischer Überwachungsverein (TÜV), a German organization. TÜV tests and certifies products, services, and management systems to ensure they meet specific safety and quality standards.
Why You Would Want TÜV Certification:
Safety Assurance: TÜV certification indicates that a product has undergone rigorous testing to ensure safety and compliance with relevant regulations.
Quality Control: It helps businesses demonstrate their commitment to high-quality standards, which can enhance customer trust and satisfaction.
Market Access: Some markets or industries require TÜV certification as a prerequisite for selling certain products. Having it can open up more opportunities.
Competitive Advantage: Products with TÜV certification may stand out in the marketplace, helping businesses differentiate themselves from competitors.
Regulatory Compliance: TÜV certification can help ensure that products comply with national and international regulations, reducing the risk of legal issues.
Consumer Confidence: Consumers often prefer products that are certified, as it gives them reassurance about the product’s reliability and safety.
Overall, TÜV certification can enhance credibility, support compliance, and ultimately lead to increased sales and customer loyalty.
These cables are needed to set up a CAN bus and are specially designed to be used in a CAN environment. If two High-speed CAN hubs need a simple direct connection between them, the PCAN-Cable 2 with integrated termination can be used. The PCAN-Cable 1 is suitable for putting together a CAN bus which shall contain tap connections and separate termination (PCAN-T-Adapter and PCAN-Term products).
The PCAN-Router FD allows the connection to two CAN FD or CAN buses. Based on a ARM Cortex M4F microcontroller, the module‘s behavior and the data routing between both CAN FD channels is freely programmable. In particular, the module allows the conversion from CAN to CAN FD or vice versa. This makes it easy to accomplish the integration of CAN FD applications into existing CAN 2.0 networks.
Using the programming library and the GNU compiler for C and C++, a firmware is created and then transferred to the module via CAN. On delivery, the PCAN-Router FD is provided with a standard firmware. The corresponding source code is included as example in the scope of supply.
The module is installed in an aluminum profile casing, and is shipped in versions with two D-Sub connectors or a screw-terminal strip.
The PCAN-Router is a dual-channel CAN module whose NXP LPC21 series programmable microcontroller provides the option of using the CAN messages on both channels on a flexible basis. This gives a whole range of options for manipulation, evaluation, filtering, and routing of CAN messages.
Using the programming library and the GNU compiler for C and C++, a firmware is created and then transferred to the module via CAN. At delivery, the PCAN-Router is equipped with a standard firmware that forwards CAN messages 1:1 between both channels at 500 kbit/s. The corresponding source code is included as example in the scope of supply.
The module is installed in an aluminum profile casing, and is shipped in versions with two D-Sub connectors or a screw-terminal strip.
PCAN-RS-232 is a programmable module for the communication between RS-232 and CAN. The conversion of data traffic is done via a NXP LPC21 series microcontroller.
The behavior of the PCAN-RS-232 can be programmed freely for specific applications. The firmware is created using the included development package with GNU compiler for C and C++ and is then transferred to the module via CAN. Various programming examples facilitate the implementation of own solutions.
On delivery the PCAN-RS-232 is provided with a standard firmware that routes from CAN to RS-232 and vice versa. It allows to configure the data transfer as well as the hardware with serial control commands. The corresponding source code is included as an example in the scope of supply.
Many modern motor vehicles have an OBD-2 interface for connecting various diagnostics and testing tools. This adapter cable can be used to access the contained CAN lines.
The PCAN-miniPCIe FD is a CAN interface for the PCI Express Mini slot. With its space-saving format, the plug-in card is a suitable solution for connecting embedded systems to up to four CAN FD and CAN networks. There is galvanic isolation of up to 300 Volts between the computer and CAN sides. The card is available as a single, dual, or four-channel version.
The CAN FD standard (CAN with Flexible Data rate) is primarily characterized by higher bandwidth for data transfer. The maximum of 64 data bytes per CAN FD frame (instead of 8 so far) can be transmitted with bit rates up to 12 Mbit/s. CAN FD is downward-compatible to the CAN 2.0 A/B standard, thus CAN FD nodes can be used in existing CAN networks. However, in this case the CAN FD extensions are not applicable.
The monitor software PCAN-View and the programming interface PCAN-Basic for the development of applications with CAN connection are included in the scope of supply and support the standard CAN FD.
The PCAN-Ethernet Gateway DR allows the connection of different CAN buses over IP networks. CAN frames are wrapped in TCP or UDP message packets and then forwarded via the IP network from one device to another. The PCAN-Ethernet Gateway DR provides one LAN connection and two High-speed CAN interfaces. With its DIN rail casing and the support of the extended temperature range, the module is suitable for use in an industrial environment.
The PCAN-Gateway product family is configured via a convenient web interface. Alternatively, the JSON interface allows access via software. Both options provide status information and settings of the devices, the various communication interfaces, message forwarding, and filters.
