CAN Bus Module for QuantumX

The MX471CAN bus module from HBM features four independent CAN bus interfaces andintegrates seamlessly into the QuantumX universal measurement system. Thisenables CAN messages to be synchronously acquired and stored for all analog ordigitally measured quantities such as torque, force, strain, displacement,pressure, rotational speed and temperature.

CAN bus usually forms the core network in vehicle electronics with controlunits in the drive train, the driving dynamics and in the body electronics allconnected to provide best-possible vehicle behavior.

The MX471 isdesigned to complement the QuantumX to provide the user with a flexible andsimple to operate system that is backed by comprehensive software support.

The MX471 module supports both the writing and acquisition of CAN messages.This allows quantities directly acquired by a QuantumX amplifier to be sent asindividual CAN messages adding a powerful gateway functionality to themeasurement system.

The CAN bus module supports high-speed CAN and is connected to a PC or a datalogger via Ethernet TCP/IP or FireWire. Configuration is easy and, for example,uses description files in DBC format. CAN messages can be used as a trigger formeasurement recordings while the status of any network nodes can be logged andare shown directly at the device.

Any application involving extensive use of the CAN bus, such as vehicle testingor on automotive industry test benches, or in automation will benefit from theuse of the MX471CAN bus module.
