Smart access to CAN field bus with LUA scripting language
Karlsruhe, 18. October 2010.Analytica GmbH manufactures and markets CAN-Ethernet-Gateways which feature individual access to CAN field bus by the standard network interface of a personal computer. Access to the CAN bus is usually done by an existing programming interface (API) which can be used in self-created application programs.
In addition to this traditional programming method, users of the AnaGate products can now quickly create program batch files in LUA scripting language to send or receive CAN telegrams. These script files are created and edited by a standard text editor (like notepad on windows systems). Then, the scripts are easily executed with a free LUA interpreter in the command shell of the pc.
LUA is quick, reliable and most importantly a compact programming language, which is especially suitable for use on embedded systems (see http://www.lua.org).
The individual models AnaGate CAN uno, AnaGate CAN duo, AnaGate CAN quattro and of course the new AnaGate CAN USB take advantage of this particularly interesting LUA feature: via the browser interface of the gateway hardware script files can be uploaded and locally executed on the device itself.

CAN adapter providing up to 8 CAN interfaces
Accessing CAN bus with embedded computer
CAN (Controller Area Network) is an asynchronous serial bus system which was developed by Bosch in 1983 for networking control units in motor vehicles. CAN field busses are used in numerous areas today: in automation, the automotive industry and medical technology, in aircrafts and trains as well as in marine, aerospace, industrial and engineering industries. Access to the CAN bus was made by standard…
Providing SocketCAN supoort
The Anagate CAN adapters by Analytica (Germany) now provide support for SocketCAN. This means, users have access to the CAN network under the Linux operating system.
SOCKETCAN is an official part of the Linux kernel and therefore the standard interface to CAN hardware under Linux operating systems. It was contributed by Volkswagen as open source to the kernel – formerly known as Low Level CAN Framework (LLCF).
Analytica has offered professional products…
Testing of CANopen devices via USB and Ethernet
CANopen is a standardized communication protocol for embedded applications based on the CAN field bus. Manufacturer of CANopen devices check the compliance of their hardware implementations to these CANopen standards by conformity checks. This can be done by using an official test tool, the CANopen Conformance Test Tool.
CAN in Automation (CiA) provides a CANopen Conformance Test Tool (CTT), which checks the device conformity to the CANopen specification CiA DS301. The…
CAN-USB-Gateway operates also stand-alone
Robust and flexible at an economical price
Specialized in the range of networked personal and embedded computer systems, Analytica GmbH, Karlsruhe, offers different CAN-Ethernet-Gateways that have already proven themselves in a large number of applications. This product line was now extended: the AnaGate CAN USB (picture 1) can interconnect a personal computer with a CAN bus network via USB. Unlike other manufacturers, Analytica encloses the CAN telegrams in TCP/IP telegrams and…

CAN-Ethernet Gateway with 4 interfaces
The german company Analytica from Karlsruhe launches a new CAN Ethernet gateway with four galvanically decoupled CAN interfaces (2.0A/2.0B). The device operates on an ARM9 processor based on Linux (Kernel 2.6) like the already existing models AnaGate uno and AnaGate duo with one or two CAN interfaces.
The four CAN interfaces can be used independently by a PC or a PLC via TCP/IP (Ethernet) protocol. By usage of standard WLAN/WiFi components…
