CAN2MB – CANBUS MODBUS Converter

( Optional SAE – J1939 Support)

The CAN (Control Area Network) bus, widely used for data communication in automotive electronics, enables the use of Modbus RTU over RS-485 to communicate data between industrial products.

Possible Areas of Use:

  • It is suitable for automotive use.
  • It can be used to obtain engine and indicator data in construction machinery such as excavators, backhoes, loaders, and drills.
  • It can be used for truck fleet management systems.
  • It can be used for forklift tracking and monitoring systems.
  • It can be used to obtain engine information in new generation motorized generators with electronic control systems (ECUs).
  • It can be used as an industrial CANBUS solution.
  • * It can be customized according to customer demand.

Product Features:

  • It can operate in the voltage range of 9-32VDC.
  • There is 1 CAN-BUS connection. (CAN 2.0 A and B compatible.)
  • It can work with Standard CAN ID or Extended CAN ID up to 1Mbit/s.
  • There is 1 RS-485 connection.
  • Data traffic LED indicators are available.
  • It is used over Modbus RTU.
  • It can extract J1939 messages up to 20 messages. (optional)
  • Raw data capture of up to 150 messages
  • Permanent configuration can be made with Modbus RTU.
    Persistent configuration:
    – Modbus connection address change
    – RS-485 connection speed selection
    – CAN-BUS ID type selection
    – CAN-BUS connection speed selection
    Temporary Configuration: (When the power is cut off, the settings return to the factory settings.)
    – Raw CAN ID adjustments (filtering by CAN ID)
  • With the first energy, reception and registered address information are given over RS-485.
