The CANmod.input is a 100% standalone analog/digital/pulse-to-CAN module with 8 input sensor channels.

For each input channel, the module measures both the analog, digital and pulse version of the signal, letting you easily mix different sensors. The recorded sensor values are output via a CAN interface.

You can deploy the CANmod.input to directly inject sensor data into your existing CAN bus application (e.g. a car, truck, bus, machine, ...). Or, you can use it as an extension for e.g. our CANedge CAN bus data logger. This combination lets the CANedge serve as an input sensor data logger via the 2nd CAN channel, while it enables logging of data from your CAN application via the 1st CAN channel.


Key features include:

- PLUG & PLAY: Standalone - no PC required. Integrate with any CAN bus to add input sensor data. DBC included

- COMPACT: 7 x 2 x 5 CM. 70G. 8 LEDs. 5-26 V DC via DB9. 3.3V excitation signals. USB for config/FW/stream

- 8 X ANALOG: 8 analog input channels (1 kHz, 10 bit). Configurable voltage ranges (0-0.625V to 0-10V)

- +DIGITAL: Digital input reading of each channel. 1 kHz. Configurable low/high/hysteresis

- +PULSE: Pulse input reading of each channel. 16 kHz. Frequency or counter mode (up to 32 bit)

- CONFIGURABLE: Configure sensors, CAN IDs, bit rate, frequencies and more via JSON config and GUI

Examples of supported sensors include below:

1) ANALOG: Sensors that produce analog outputs include force/pressure sensors, current, distance (ultrasonic, laser, lidar, infrared), rotation (potentiometers), hall effect, magnometers, gyroscopes - and many more.

2) DIGITAL: Sensors with digital outputs include hall effect switches, buttons, reed switches, RTD sensors and more. Many sensors with analog outputs also produce optional digital outputs.

3) PULSE: Sensors with pulse-oriented outputs include rotational speed sensors, rotational position sensors, buttons & toggle switches (event counters), frequency meters and sensors producing e.g. PWM outputs.
