Specification

The CANmod.input Specification

GENERAL
Functionality	The device produces analog/digital/pulse measurements from 8 input channels and outputs signals via CAN
Included	CANmod.input module and USB dust cover (input sensors and mini USB adapter not included)
Firmware	Supports free firmware updates via USB for adding features
Configuration	Configuration files based on the popular open source JSON schema concept (similar to the CANedge)
Software	Free open source editor tool for easy device configuration (offline/online version available)
Safety	CE, FCC, IC and RoHS certified (see the Docs for certificates)
Warranty	1-year warranty
Support	Free, fast & high quality support
Origin	Denmark
SENSOR (input)
Channels	Supports 8 input channels
Sensor Types	All 8 input channels support analog, digital and pulse-type sensors
Sampling Method	Each input channel samples both the analog, digital and pulse signal of the connected sensor
Input Range	Configurable input ranges (0-10V, 0-5V, 0-2.5V, 0-1.25V, 0-0.625V)
	Range modification is useful e.g. for optimizing quantization resolution and signal amplification
	The input channels share input ranges in pairs of two (CH1/CH2, CH3/CH4, CH5/CH6, CH7/CH8)
Resolution	10 bit
Sampling Frequency	Analog inputs: 1 kHz \| Digital: 1 kHz \| Pulse (frequency/counter): 16 kHz
Digital Thresholds	Configurable digital high/low switch thresholds (0-100%) incl. optional dead-zone/hysteresis
Pulse Modes	Pulse inputs can be measured as frequencies (reset) or counters (accumulate)
Pulse Resolution	Up to 32 bit (4,294,967,294)
Protection	Sensor inputs are protected against overvoltage & undervoltage conditions
Input Impedance	136K
DATA PARAMETERS
CAN Signals	The module ouputs sensor data via CAN messages/signals (for a full list, see the Docs or DBC file)
	Analog measurements are output in millivolt (mV) [1000 Hz]
	Digital measurements are output as 'actual' (dead-zone, low, high) and 'low'/'high' signals [1000 Hz]
	Pulse measurements are output as a frequency/counter value (for reset/accumulate mode) [1000 Hz]
	Note: Limits apply to the practical output frequency depending on baud rate, message count etc.
CAN BUS
Channels	1 x CAN channel
Modes	The device can either broadcast the data onto the CAN bus - or provide it on-request
Standard	ISO 11898: Compliant with CAN (between 5K and 1 Mbit/s baud rates) and CAN FD (1M, 2M, 4M)
Identifiers	Compliant with CAN specifications 2.0A (11-Bit ID) and 2.0B (29-Bit ID)
Termination	Termination can be toggled via switch below DB9 connector
Retransmission	Retransmission of frames that have lost arbitration or been disturbed by errors
Transceiver Protection	Protection: +/- 25kV HBM ESD, +/-12kV IEC ESD, +/-14 V bus fault, short circuit
	Common mode input voltage: +/-12V
	TXD dominant timeout (prevents network blocking in the event of a failure)
CONFIGURATION
Bit Rate	Select between standard bit rates (5K to 1M) or use custom bit-timing
Enable/Disable	Individually enable/disable each CAN message
Identifier Customization	Individually configure each CAN ID (11-bit or 29-bit)
Push/Poll Mode	Individually configure 'trigger' modes for each CAN message (push or poll)
Frequency	Individually configure prescaling of each CAN message frequency to lower rates
ELECTRICAL
Input Supply	+5V to +26V DC via the DB9 connector (power via pin 1 or pin 9)
Power Consumption	Extremely low (<1W) - no risk of battery drainage
Protection	Reverse voltage protection on CAN-bus supply
	Transient voltage event protection on supply lines
MECHANICAL
Enclosure & Weight	Compact aluminium enclosure: 52.5 x 70.0 x 24.5 mm (L x W x H), 70 grams
Connector (Front)	1 x Standard D-sub 9 (DB9) connector
Connector (Back)	1 x D-sub 25 (DB25) connector
Sensor Supply	Dedicated excitation signals for each channel (~3.3 V, shared max of 100 mA)
Pin-Out	See the product manual for the DB9/DB25 connector pin-outs
USB	Standard mini USB connector for config/firmware updates and streaming (USB cable not included)
LEDs	Module status via 8 external LEDs: Power, CAN bus, Memory, CH1/CH2, CH3/CH4, CH5/CH6, CH7/CH8
Temperature	Operating temperature (CANmod.input module): -25degC to +70degC
IP Rating	IP Rating 40
Mounting	Module can be mounted via e.g. rugged double-sided tape, zip-ties or a mounting bracket

CANmod.input: 8 x Analog/Digital/Pulse to CAN Bus Converter

This sensor-to-CAN module produces analog, digital & pulse measurements from 8 input channels - and outputs the data via CAN bus. The module is 100% standalone, no PC required.

The compact device offers pro specs incl. high accuracy and high-frequency sampling - as well as configurable input ranges and digital thresholds.

Explore our I/O modules.

The module integrates with any CAN bus to provide data for ECUs or CAN tools. For example, you can use the module as an add-on for the CANedge. CANmod.input easily adds analog data to a CAN bus system.
