DUANACAN enables the easy integration of new sensors into existing CAN architectures. It converts analog, thermal, and LIN signals into CAN messages that can be directly processed by your analysis systems. A compact and efficient solution for testing, prototyping, and vehicle instrumentation applications.
A CAN (Controller Area Network) interface is an electronic communication module that connects, centralizes, and enables different equipment or sensors to communicate over a network. In the automotive and transport sectors, the CAN bus is the reference standard. The interface acts as a gateway for the reliable transmission and reception of data between control units and measurement tools, even in environments subject to strong electromagnetic interference.
The Duanacan device acts as a smart transmitter that collects signals of various kinds and translates them into standardized messages. It supports:
This information is encapsulated as bytes within a standard CAN frame, making the physical values immediately usable by your acquisition systems.
The CAN protocol relies on synchronous communication. The Duanacan interface supports a bitrate (the bit transfer speed) of up to 500 kbit/s, ensuring excellent time synchronization of messages across the network. At the physical and protocol level, priority management and collision detection on the bus are handled through arbitration between the dominant and recessive states of the signal.
To simplify frame analysis and the processing of diagnostic code, our CAN interface offers full compatibility with the standards of the automotive engineering and development market:
This compact module integrates seamlessly into development applications on test vehicles or test benches:
Designed to be embedded, the device offers specifications suited to the constraints of onboard networks:
The CAN protocol natively includes very strict hardware safety mechanisms. The Duanacan interface ensures that every frame sent strictly complies with these communication rules. In the event of line disturbances, the receiver or transmitter can detect the anomaly instantly to isolate the fault, ensuring the continuity of the acquisition of your critical measurement data.
Duanacan is a compact CAN interface designed to convert analog, thermal, or LIN signals into usable CAN messages. It makes it possible to quickly add new data sources to an existing vehicle architecture, without major changes to the onboard network.
Designed for test, validation, and engineering teams, Duanacan simplifies vehicle instrumentation by connecting different types of sensors to a CAN network. With its analog inputs, thermocouple inputs, and LIN interface, it can collect additional information from a test vehicle, a prototype, or a test bench.
Used as a LIN to CAN gateway, Duanacan centralizes data from sensors and embedded subsystems to make it accessible within a standard CAN environment. This capability simplifies data acquisition, monitoring, and analysis during automotive test campaigns.
Compact, easy to integrate, and compatible with the tools commonly used by engineering teams, Duanacan is an effective solution for enriching an existing CAN architecture, accelerating sensor integration, and improving the reliability of vehicle data reporting.
