TRION3-CAN-FD: DEWETRON’s new measurement board

At DEWETRON, we understand that precision and flexibility are paramount in data acquisition. That’s why we’ve developed the TRION3-CAN-FD, our latest CAN-FD measurement board designed to meet the evolving demands of modern testing environments.

 

Key Features of the TRION3-CAN-FD

  • High-Speed CAN-FD Support: Operates with data rates up to 8 Mbps, ensuring rapid and efficient data transmission.
  • Advanced Bus Diagnostics: Each port is equipped with diagnostics to automatically detect faults such as short circuits, open buses, or missing termination. Detected issues are communicated to the OXYGEN measurement software via digital channels for real-time monitoring. CAN RX and CAN TX can be monitored with up to 10 MS/s.
  • Precise Time Synchronization: Achieves 0.1 µs timestamp accuracy, enabling seamless integration with analog data and other measurement sources.
  • Flexible CAN-Out Functionality: Supports output of up to 1,000 data frames per second, facilitating high-speed communication.
  • Channel-to-Channel Isolation: Ensures reliable and interference-free operation across all channels.
  • Programmable Internal Termination: Features a 120 Ω shunt for adaptable integration into various systems.

 

Modular System Philosophy

The TRION3-CAN-FD is part of DEWETRON’s TRION(3) modular system, which offers unparalleled flexibility and scalability. This system allows you to customize your data acquisition system by selecting from a wide range of measurement board, including analog, digital, and specialized interfaces. Each board is designed for easy integration, ensuring that your measurement system can evolve alongside your testing requirements.
