eCAN (Ethernet to CAN Converter)

Description

Overview

eCAN is a small CAN gateway connected to CAN bus to transmit and receive with TCP/UDP network. To suit for the user requirement, it supports TCP/UDP protocol and comes with COM Redirector, a virtual serial port generator. Developers write their own socket programming to use TCP/UDP protocol to access eCAN directly or use COM Redirector. To write the source code easily, DLL file and sample codes are provided. Additionally, eCAN comes with eCAN View software to aid analyzing CAN frame with GUI. eCAN View has filter, sort, and display error count features. With exerciser function, users can send CAN frame to other CAN device. Its intuitive UI frame is convenient when analyzing a CAN frame.

TCP/UDP Protocol and COM Redirector

eCAN supports TCP/UDP protocol so that eCAN can be used with socket programming. It supports high reliable TCP and fast network connection, UDP, with use of virtual serial port. Virtual serial port is available through COM Redirector software that comes with eCAN.

eCAN View – Exerciser

The exerciser function creates a CAN frame to send it to other CAN devices. The CAN frames can be set to maximum 4 where it can be set to increment of 1ms and sent at the same time. When user defined CAN frame is received, eCAN will automatically respond to it. It is useful when analyzing remote frames for the CAN devices.

eCAN View – Error & Detail View

The TEC (Transmit Error Count), REC (Receive Error Count), and LEC (Last Error Code) can be check with eCAN View. By using these, when the users check the change of error counts, they can easily check the status of the CAN bus. When CAN frame is double clicked in the eCAN View, the frame detail view window will appear to show more information about the CAN frame. This window will show the CAN frame field in each bits for the users requiring detailed information.
