eCAN White Paper Ver 1.0 2021.07.
eCAN White Paper Overview CAN(Controller Area Network) communication is a specification designed for in-vehicle modules to communicate with each other. Conventional methods within vehicles used UART based serial communication, and as initially there were not many communication modules, there were no problems in application. However, as vehicle technology develops and communication modules increase, vehicle load has dramatically increased due to exponentially increased wirings.
eCAN White Paper CAN Communication Technology Message Directional ID is assigned to CAN according to the priority of the message and used to communicated. This causes each node to self-judge the message delivered to each node and ignore the message which is except it needs. Enhanced Error Mechanism Several mechanisms have applied to CAN to improve communication reliability.
eCAN White Paper eCAN eCAN is a network access equipment which converts CAN communication into Ethernet based communication. eCAN basically provides communication converting functionality, while providing additional functions through Com Redirector, eCANConfig. Ethernet Remote PC eCAN ECU eCAN ECU CAN BUS ECU ECU Connecting and managing eCAN eCAN reads CAN signal and export it to the network. Alternatively, it also export network data to CAN data.
eCAN White Paper Com Redirector Com Redirector is an application software which is installed on a PC, a driver automatically converting Serial to Ethernet. eCAN provides the ability to use CAN ports as virtual serial ports, enabling users to use CAN communication through conventional serial communication programs without a need of creating new socket programs. eCANView eCANView program is a program runs in Windows environment and is for testing the performance and reliability of eCAN.
eCAN White Paper eCANConfig eCANConfig program runs in a Windows environment and performs searching and setup of eCAN. It provides Search to search eCAN equipment present on the local area network, and Configure to change and save settings for selected devices, and Upgrade Firmware to upgrade firmware for selected devices.
eCAN White Paper Utilization of eCAN eCAN can be applied in various areas. There are many applicable areas such as monitoring/control of vehicle communication modules or production facilities, building automation, operation monitoring/control/data collection of common equipment, remote control of equipment over the Internet, and control of ships and railways.
