Effectively, the Kvaser Ethercan Light HS facilitates the adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT) concept within modern manufacturing environments by enabling data from any CAN product or system to be accessed over the Internet, via an Ethernet equipped PC.

Recognising that there are plenty of expensive and complex to configure Ethernet to CAN gateways on the market, Kvaser saw an opportunity to provide a simple, one CAN-channel to Ethernet interface for Windows-based PCs.

“With its extremely good EMC performance, the Ethercan Light HS is a fully-equipped interface with a large on-board RAM buffer and full compatibility with J1939, CANopen, NMEA 2000 and DeviceNet. Nevertheless, this is simple to set up using the standard Kvaser API, in contrast to many other CAN to Ethernet products on the market,” commented Michael Odälv, Director of Marketing & Sales at Kvaser AB.

The Kvaser Ethercan Light HS’s Ethernet connection has auto-MDIX, meaning that it automatically detects and adjusts for the Ethernet cable type being used (either straight-through or crossover). It also offers built-in Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing the device to receive both data and power over the Ethernet cable. Combining Kvaser’s trademark small, lightweight plastic housing with galvanic isolation, this device offers a flexible form-factor that allows it to be placed virtually anywhere, as well as the high durability expected of an interface that is used in industrial environments.

For several years now, it has also become the world’s primary race venue for electric powered motorbikes, thanks to the ‘TT Zero’, an event for race motorcycles with zero carbon emissions that runs alongside the traditional TT. Support from the Isle of Man government in the form of a 10,000euro annual prize fund served to kick-start the competition back in 2010, and now with an ever increasing line-up of entrants the event regularly pits prototype electric bikes from several research organisations against numerous professional teams. Among the competitors for 2014’s race on 4th June will be Ohio State University’s ‘Buckeye Current’ Electric Motorcycle. The team entered the 2013 race with experienced electric motorcycle rider Rob Barber in the seat and came third out of the 10 teams that started the race. For 2014, their goal is to beat their record speed of 90.4 mph, as well as pick up another place on the podium! With this objective in mind, the bike has undergone a complete revamp for 2014, with many of the body parts being redesigned to lose weight. However, making the bike lighter only goes so far; optimising the existing AEE batteries, cooling pack and motor controller were all priorities for rework. In particular, the data acquisition system has been completely redesigned in order to prevent communication dropout between the drive control and motor controller.[/vc_column_text][vc_header_raket header_type="h4" header="Optimising CAN bus data"][vc_column_text]The team’s recent electrical developments include the addition of a 12V monitoring circuit that will protect the battery, a ‘magic CAN node’ that allows virtually any sensor to be quickly and easily integrated into the CAN bus and its data made available for logging, plus a new battery management board. Meanwhile, the team’s CAN datalogger code has been optimised and code has been written for the rider display and drive controls. Data on how the most important components of the bike are performing is crucial. For this, a Kvaser Eagle was donated, which has been used in combination with the team’s existing Kvaser Memorator Professional datalogger and TKE’s CANtrace software, which decodes the CAN signals in real-time. Commented Nathan Lord, the electrical team leader: “The Memorator is a very nice way of converting raw CAN to a decoded signal. The automatic dbc file format conversion means there’s not too much post-processing to do. The new event features of the Eagle have also been useful, as is the LED display to tell when it’s datalogging.” The team had an older model Memorator with a 1GB SD card, which didn’t provide enough data capacity for their evolving needs. Eagle takes up to a 32GB card, providing headroom for a couple of weeks of recording time if required.[/vc_column_text][vc_header_raket header_type="h4" header="A global picture of performance"][vc_column_text]Battery usage, cooling pack temperature, lean angles, suspension data, wheel speed, torque, acceleration and braking are among the parameters gathered by the dataloggers - in short, as many data points as possible to give a global picture of the bike’s performance. The small size and flexible cabling of the Kvaser Eagle is highly valued as the unit is tucked under the handlebars when the bike undergoes testing. Whilst this data isn’t available live, the team has developed a tailor-made on board display that gives the rider access to information such as motor current, remaining amp hours and battery voltage. Buckeye Current’s RW2.X (the latest version of the bike) promises to be more than competitive.  With 70 horsepower, operating at 450 volts and holding the same amount of energy as a Chevrolet Volt, the team believes that it has ‘a good chance of achieving 90 miles per hour average around the course.’ For a team that was set up to provide students from Ohio State's Center for Automotive Research with the experience of building an electric motorcycle for competitive racing, Buckeye Current has already stunned the racing community and beyond with its achievements, and on an incredibly limited budget. We wish them continued success in 2014.

Saha recently presented his views on how to improve the use of a standardised CANopen system design process to Kvaser’s sales and technical network. The concept of using standardized file formats during the system design process is not new, but there’s much work to do before it becomes a reality across the board. Today, most system integrators use product lifecycle management (PLM) and product development software (PDM) software to ease the file transfer burden during module configuration in production and service in the field. However, it is the design and development area where Saha feels that more could be done to help automation companies. With a view to speeding up the design phase and facilitating parallel development, standardised file formats can be used to exchange information between system design tools, such as network design tools, PLC-programming tools and configuration. However, he feels that the process could be much smoother, with more support from tool vendors. Automating information transfer Explaining the problem he hopes to help to solve, Saha says: “My core idea is to automate information transfer from CANopen system design to IEC 61131-3 software design, without violating any related standards.” Asked why this is not always possible at present, Saha says: “At the moment, the main problems for system integrators are caused by proprietary systems and components, where the design documentation is more or less in a human-readable format only. Servicing such systems demands highly educated personnel because the company-specific nature of the products keeps production quantities low and therefore, there is rarely enough money to create and maintain the required toolchains. When we think about a lifecycle of some 20 to 30 years, as is the case for some automation systems, consecutive proprietary systems will be different, following standards provided by vendor-, product-, tool- and time-independent management processes and file formats for managing design information.” Indeed, proprietary standards are no longer something that the average system integrator will tolerate as they can often tie them into purchasing from just one or two sources and limit the choice of tools they effectively have access to over the long-term. In some situations, the system integrator ends up having to manage backwards compatibility issues between different versions of a software tool, whereas the responsibility for this should lie with the tool vendor. As an example of the old way of working, and particularly of the use of human-readable documents rather than machine-readable ones, one often-encountered scenario that Saha recounts is where information has been copied and pasted from various word processing or spreadsheet programmes into CAD, where the information can only be printed and can’t be read by parser programs. He recounts: ‘Automatic conversion tools can do their jobs partially but are no replacement for a standard CANopen DCF-file format that enables the export of code headers for IEC 61131-3 PLC-programming environments.” Device configuration files first Saha’s initial mission has been to focus on CANopen device configuration files (DCF). Explaining why, he says: “Systems are composed of subsystems and/or components using CANopen mechanisms. Component configuration and system troubleshooting is primarily made via CANopen, based on the information produced by the design tools and stored in standardized file-formats. By ‘linking’ design tools using standardised file formats, any production and assembly tool will be able to be used with them.” The next step is to persuade CANopen device vendors to provide ‘easy-to-use configuration front-ends instead of thick user’s manuals’, he says. Whilst the standards have supported this approach for years, more device vendors need to get onboard with this way of thinking. TK Engineering has developed one of the missing file conversion tools; a tool to convert CANopen projects from the set of DCF-files to the IEC61131-3 –tool specific file format used by a PLC vendor. TKE has also implemented standard file formats in its own configuration and analysis software tools, for which certain CANopen information can be synchronized automatically from the CiA website. There are also tools for importing information into CANopen projects, improving re-usability between projects and exporting diagnostics views for GUI devices, for example. Notably, TKE’s software tools are by default supplied with Kvaser interfaces. Testing the approach TKE’s toolchain was used on several customer projects and saved months in design time - a vast improvement on the design process. Bearing in mind that these were simply for small systems, the design of an entire machine using the new conversion tool could result in big benefits in terms of time, effort, quality and money saved. Furthermore, Saha has proved that proprietary technologies and components are not needed. He explains: “By adhering tightly to existing standards, the best selection of COTS components can be used without sacrificing overall efficiency during system development. Moreover, this approach allows system integrators to concentrate on solving their application problems instead of component problems.” The next challenge, concludes Saha, is to make the use of a standardised CANopen system design process mainstream. To find out more about this approach, visit the CAN CiA website where the proceedings of the 2012 International CAN Conference include two presentations from Heikki Saha on the subject.

Effectively, the Kvaser Ethercan Light HS facilitates the adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT) concept within modern manufacturing environments by enabling data from any CAN product or system to be accessed over the Internet, via an Ethernet equipped PC. Recognising that there are plenty of expensive and complex to configure Ethernet to CAN gateways on the market, Kvaser saw an opportunity to provide a simple, one CAN-channel to Ethernet interface for Windows-based PCs. “With its extremely good EMC performance, the Ethercan Light HS is a fully-equipped interface with a large on-board RAM buffer and full compatibility with J1939, CANopen, NMEA 2000 and DeviceNet. Nevertheless, this is simple to set up using the standard Kvaser API, in contrast to many other CAN to Ethernet products on the market,” commented Michael Odälv, Director of Marketing & Sales at Kvaser AB. The Kvaser Ethercan Light HS’s Ethernet connection has auto-MDIX, meaning that it automatically detects and adjusts for the Ethernet cable type being used (either straight-through or crossover). It also offers built-in Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing the device to receive both data and power over the Ethernet cable. Combining Kvaser’s trademark small, lightweight plastic housing with galvanic isolation, this device offers a flexible form-factor that allows it to be placed virtually anywhere, as well as the high durability expected of an interface that is used in industrial environments.
