The CAN Newsletter Online informs about a proof-of-concept research project by Daimler Truck. It is the first CAN XL network used in a road vehicle.
750th CiA member and CiA Member Day
The CiA welcomes its 750th member, Shanghai Tosun Technology from China. To connect with other members, CiA organizes the CiA Member Day on March 28. 2023 face-to-face in Nuremberg. More details you will find here.
ISO 11992-2:2023 released
Recently, the reviewed and updated ISO 11992-2 standard has been published. It specifies the not brake and not running-gear related suspect parameters and parameter groups for the CAN-based network between towing and towed heavy-duty road vehicles.
CAN Info Mail March
CAN is an important embedded communication technology in heat pumps. Some heat pumps use CANopen as higher-layer protocol. Therefore, it makes sense to provide a standardized CANopen diagnostic interface. Read more in the current issue of the CIM.
Presentations at Embedded World
On March 14, there is a session (Session 2.3, 16:00 UTC+1) on CAN technology with CiA's experts at the Embedded World conference. There are presentations on 'Scalability of CAN Physical Layers', 'CAN XL as Backbone Network in Commercial Vehicles', and 'Next Generation Networking in Agriculture and Off-road Vehicles'. There is also a discussion forum at the end.
New press release: CAN XL demonstrators
At the Embedded World trade show Bosch, NXP, and Vector will present running CAN XL networks. CAN XL is the third CAN protocol generation featuring bit rates up to 20 Mbit/s and data field length up to 2048 byte. Read more in CiA's press release.
Call for experts
CiA is looking for companies interested in specifying a CANopen-based diagnostic interface for heat pumps. The interface is intended for trouble-shooting as well as for performance measurements by authorities. It is comparable with the OBD2 approach for road vehicles. Please contact CiA office for more information.
CiA at Embedded World 2023
On March 14 to March 16, CiA takes part in the Embedded World tradeshow. The CiA team is looking forward to answer your CAN-related questions in hall 1, stand 203. On the CiA booth, CAN XL will be demonstrated.
CAN Info Mail February
In the February issue of the CIM, Holger Zeltwanger takes a look at the ISO 11992-3 standard. The CAN Info Mail is free of charge and available for all CAN-interested people. Subscribe via mail(at)can-cia.org.
Webinar: CAN physical layer options
The free-of-charge 1-hour workshop gives an overview on the different CAN transceiver technologies including SIC and SIC XL. It is scheduled on February 15. Registration is open.
The problems are solved, not by giving new information, but by arranging what we have known since long.
CiA community
The CAN community is huge. More than two billion of CAN nodes are installed annually. And this figure is still growing. The number of CAN fellows organized in the nonprofit CiA users’ and manufacturers’ group is much smaller. Due to new CAN data link layer (CAN XL and CAN FD Light) and new CAN physical medium attachment developments (CAN SIC and CAN SIC XL), the membership is growing, too. There are also new members interested in CiA profile developed for new markets such as battery management, fire-fighting equipment, etc.
“We take the already existing ideas in communication technology as well as in human communication, arrange them newly, and new specifications and recommendations are born,” said Holger Zeltwanger, CiA Managing Director.
