What are the benefits of converting sensors with analog voltage output (pressure, displacement, etc.) to CAN?

The key benefits are 'improved noise immunity' and 'wiring efficiency'. Weak analog voltage signals are susceptible to noise over long-distance transmission, but converting them to digital CAN enables highly reliable data collection. Furthermore, combining multiple sensors onto a bus line significantly reduces wiring man-hours compared to Ethernet and other interfaces.

Can it handle everything from minute sensor signals to high voltages like battery voltage?

The PSV series offers a wide array of models ranging from minute voltages of ±200 μV to high voltages of ±70 V. In addition to instrument outputs such as 1-5 V and 0-10 V, choosing the model with the optimal input range tailored to your application—such as ECU level signals, fluid pressure, or stroke position measurement—enables high-precision CAN conversion and transmission.

Is there an easy way to configure CAN settings and perform data logging?

Using the free software 'LINKSHIP' via the front USB Type-C port allows for easy configuration management and CSV logging from a PC. The automatic data transmission feature at configured update intervals also significantly reduces software development costs on the host system side.

Does it support the standard SAE J1939 protocol used in in-vehicle networks?

Yes, we have a track record of supporting communication protocols such as SAE J1939 (DLC 8 bytes or less). In test vehicles or production machines such as automobiles, construction equipment, and agricultural machinery, measurement data can be seamlessly integrated into existing CAN networks. Custom modifications for individual specifications are also available.
