GEMAC CANObserver

If the sys­tem stands still, the loss is usual­ly high.
To per­form some cor­rec­tive action at the right time, sys­tem com­pon­ents and the who­le gui­d­ance sys­tem should be main­tai­ned con­ti­nu­al. Becau­se of wear the­re are wor­se­ning of run­ning para­me­ters of the bus sys­tem. The­se chan­ges are dia­gno­sed from our CAN­o­b­ser­ver wit­hin the run­ning sys­tem and are noti­fied to the faci­li­ty ope­ra­tor.

Bus Sys­tems
The CAN­o­b­ser­ver works wit­hin the net­works CAN, CANo­pen, Device­Net und SAE J1939.

Instal­la­ti­on and Con­fi­gu­ra­ti­on
The CAN­o­b­ser­ver is desi­gned to be per­ma­nent moun­ted into the bus. The top-hat rail makes it easy to install. It can use the bus power sup­ply (9…36 V), addi­tio­nal­ly you need a Ether­net con­nec­tion to con­nect.
Con­fi­gu­ra­ti­on is done in the web brow­ser com­ple­te­ly. Check if the alarm thres­hold fit to your sys­tem and put in the data for email sen­ding.

Out­put Switch
On which pro­blems you want to be war­ned, you defi­ne with your web brow­ser. The fol­lo­wing screen­shot shows an examp­le.
With the poten­ti­al free switch you can switch a signa­ling lamp on top of your con­trol cabi­net for ins­tan­ce.
Addi­tio­nal­ly you can be war­ned via E-Mail and SMNP. The­re­fo­re an online con­nec­tion to the ether­net net­work is nee­ded.

Mea­su­rements
The CAN­o­b­ser­ver is capa­ble to mea­su­re and to show signal con­di­ti­ons of the CAN bus. It is pos­si­ble to draw con­clu­si­ons to perhaps exis­ting pro­blems about the nodes or the bus wiring by mea­su­rements of signal qua­li­ty.
Active-Error /​Pas­si­ve-Error Frames
Over­load Frames
Ack­now­ledge Errors
Gene­ral Qua­li­ty Level (0 … 100 %)
Dis­tur­ban­ce-free Vol­ta­ge Ran­ge
Edge Steep­ness (worst fal­ling and rising edges)
Addi­tio­nal­ly to the logi­cal and phy­si­cal mea­su­rements the CAN­o­b­ser­ver is get­ting data about bus sta­tus, bus traf­fic load and the optio­nal CAN sup­ply vol­ta­ge.

Cer­ti­fi­ca­ti­ons
The CAN­o­b­ser­ver fits into the defi­ni­ti­ons of VDI/​VDE gui­de­li­ne 2184. (Pre­view)
