Case study: Electric road – The future of transportation
TKE is involved in a Electric road project for the future The future of transportation is electric road. In the future many of the vehicles on our roads will be driven by electricity. TKE is pleased to announce that we are involved in a project where the road will have an electrical rail to charge […]
New programmable CAN/CAN FD interface and datalogger
New programmable CAN / CAN FD interface and datalogger is ideal for troubleshooting CAN networks Kvaser AB has introduced a new programmable and dual channel high-speed CAN to USB interface and datalogger that allows users to monitor and log data from two CAN / CAN FD channels. Advanced features of the Memorator Pro 2xHS v2 […]
Physical layer really matters in CAN
Despite of the comprehensive knowledge of the CAN physical layer, there is poor tradition in design of physical layer structures for industrial and machinery CAN networks. Cables with “wrong” impedance (not matching with termination) are commonly used and many engineers intentionally select them, because of constrained understanding of the transmission line behavior.
New Kvaser USB to CAN/CAN FD interfaces
Kvaser has just upgraded it’s USB offerings with four new interfaces. Features include high grade performance, more channels, CAN FD compatibility, and, of course, the sleek ergonomic design that Kvaser is known for.

CANopen safeguards to decrease the effect of residual errors further
Data transfer over CANopen networks is extremely reliable, but CANopen also offers further safeguards in order to decrease the effect of residual errors further. In many applications, complex safety add-ons have been designed on top of existing control systems, which has lead to significantly increased complexity and costs. The most significant increase of the performance […]
Systematic re-use of information
Systematic re-use of information and design processes defined by the selected system integration framework, such as CANopen, should be understood as an integral part of companies’ design, assembly and service operations, instead of “just another communication protocol” in individual control systems. There are many use cases for such kinds of system integration framework in system […]
Model-based design of CANopen systems
Multiple disciplines for mechatronic system design co-exist, which hinder the utilization of software-oriented modeling principles e.g. UML. Existing modern tools may be integrated into a working tool chain.
CANopen in the frontline of openness
Open knowledge is any content, information or data that people are free to use, re-use and redistribute – without any legal, social or technological restriction.
