What are the benefits of converting pulse signals from torque sensors or fuel concentration sensors to CAN?

By converting pulse signals to digital CAN near the sensor, even in noisy environments such as engine bays or motor test benches, signal degradation is prevented, enabling highly reliable data collection. Additionally, compliance with in-vehicle protocols like SAE J1939 allows easy integration into existing measurement systems and ECU networks.

What advantages does adopting the Periomatic calculation method offer?

Our proprietary calculation algorithm achieves both high-precision measurement at ultra-low speeds and fast tracking during rapid changes or stops—something difficult for conventional pulse meters. It delivers exceptional performance in tests with heavy torque fluctuations and concentration measurements that detect subtle frequency changes.

Does it support various pulse signals such as logic or zero-cross?

Yes, it supports diverse input signal formats including 5V/12V logic, zero-cross, NPN open collector, and line driver. Fine-tuning of the trigger level (0 to 9.99 V) and hysteresis settings are also supported, allowing optimal data collection setup tailored to the sensors and on-site noise conditions.

Is there a way to perform data logging and configuration management using a PC?

Using the front USB Type-C port with our free software 'LINKSHIP', real-time CSV logging as well as saving and copying setting values can be done on a PC. Even when using multiple converters, simply writing setting data significantly reduces setup man-hours and prevents human error.
