Analog/digital konvertermodul sikrer let integration i CAN-systemer

Metis Engineering præsenterer analog-til-digital CAN-modul, der gør det let at konvertere analoge signaler til digitale og dermed sikrer let integration i CAN-baserede netværk (in english).a

Metis Engineering announces the launch of its latest product, the Analogue to Digital CAN Module. This cutting-edge device is designed to seamlessly convert analogue signals into digital data, facilitating enhanced integration with Controller Area Network (CAN) systems across a wide range of industries, including automotive, marine, aerospace, marine energy storage and industrial automation.

The 12bit 8 channel Analogue to Digital CAN Module is capable of measuring 0–5V signals in precise 0.003V increments, with sampling rates of up to 333Hz. A 10kΩ pull-down resistor on each channel enables direct connection to resistance-based temperature sensors without the need for additional components.

In addition to analogue input, the module supports pulse-width modulation (PWM) duty cycle and frequency measurement, digital input status, and includes a pulse counter, ideal for applications such as traction control. The module also includes a low power sleep mode consuming less than 1mA, with the ability to wake on voltage thresholds, making it suitable for use as a CAN wake-up device via external triggers such as a button press.

Its compact design ensures easy integration into existing systems, while robust construction and an automotive IP67-rated connector offer high reliability even in harsh environments. The configurable CAN bus speed and address, along with a supplied DBC file, allow for straightforward integration into virtually any CAN network.

- Our new Analogue to Digital CAN Module addresses the growing need for efficient and accurate data conversion in modern engineering applications. By offering a reliable solution for integrating analogue inputs into digital CAN systems, we empower our clients to enhance the performance and efficiency of their operations, says Joe Holdsworth, Founder and CEO at Metis Engineering. 

The module is compatible with a wide range of sensors and devices, making it suitable for a host of applications requiring precise data acquisition and transmission. Its plug-and-play functionality simplifies installation, reducing downtime and implementation costs.
Metis Engineering also offers complementary products, such as the Nano Development Kit and the R&D Development Kit, to support the evaluation and integration of their CAN-based sensors and modules. These kits provide all necessary cables and features to facilitate seamless connection and testing within CAN networks.

The Analogue to Digital CAN Module is manufactured in the UK.
