Powerful CAN modules for test stand, vehicle and industrial applications

Whether test stand, on-board vehicle application or industrial applications – when time-synchronous, dynamic or decentralized acquisition of large channel counts is required – the powerful imc CANSAS modules are ideal.

Equipped with high-precision measurement amplifiers, imc CANSAS modules allow for direct connection to all typical sensors and signals in the mechatronic environment. The digitized measurement signals are output as CAN messages and can be read and recorded by any measurement, automation or control system with a CAN interface. imc BUSDAQflex is the perfect choise for CAN data logging: it can directly be connected with a simple click.

imc CANSAS - in practice

The modules can be installed in both a spatially-distributed arrangement or as a central unit. Combining modules couldn’t be easier: with the innovative imc click-mechanism, the modules are electrically and mechanically connected to each other – without the need for tools or cabling.
In test stands or factories, a centralized design of the measurement system is often desired. The imc CANSASflex modules can be inserted into a rack configuration or module holder. This automatically powers the module and connects it to the CAN bus. During operation, modules can be added or replaced. Thanks to integrated sensor recognition (TEDS), a secure sensor connection and flawless configuration are guaranteed.
