Description

Diagnostic tool for the long-term monitoring of CAN bus systems. The new CANobserver enables the physical and logical long-term monitoring of CAN, CANopen and DeviceNet systems. For this, the device is permanently integrated into the network and continuously monitors the data transfer and records the errors. Sporadic negative impacts or a slowly deteriorating signal quality can be detected by the physical layer diagnosis and logical frame monitoring in a timely manner. Thus, the CANobserver is able to inform the system operator before any communication error occurs.
