Applications: Current to CAN Conversion

Current to CAN Conversion

- The PSA series can be used as signal converters and CAN signal conditioners to convert PWM current, current at battery charging to CAN.
- It can be used as a signal converter to CAN communication, which is used in various applications such as automobile development, construction machinery, and industrial equipment.
- The PSA series automatically outputs measured data to the CAN bus at every update time, allowing easy data collection.

What we can do with measurement
- When measuring PWM current of solenoid valves or evaluating battery charge-discharge characteristics, the measured current values can be converted to CAN data.
- Converting to CAN reduces noise and wiring time when measuring multiple units.
- CAN communication can update data as fast as 1 ms.
- CAN communication automatically outputs measurement data at each update time, while non-CAN communication acquires measurement data by command response method, thus reducing program development costs (depending on the selected model).

Selection Points
Current measurement
- CAN continuous output function is used to easily acquire measured values as digital values (depending on the selected model).
- CAN communication with 1ms update is available (option)

Low price
- Low-cost version of PSAL series is also available: CAN communication is updated in 40ms.
