Protocol Stack J1939

MicroControl now offers a software package with versatile additional benefits – the new CANpie FD Server. All kinds of system conditions can be simulated before the final set-up of the system and cost-intensive “surprises” are avoided. The CANpie FD Server opens new dimensions. This feature is included in the software package without any additional costs.

The CAN driver CANpie FD (Controller Area Network Programming Interface Environment) is an open interface for the development of CAN-based applications. The CAN driver forms the basis for higher layer protocols (CANopen / J1939) and may be used for manufacturer-specific CAN communication between embedded systems. CANpie FD is avaliable for a wide range of microcontrollers (more than 160 at the moment). A variety of configuration options facilitates adjustment to individual target systems. The CAN physical layer (data link layer) comprises two protocols: the classical CAN standard and CAN FD. The protocols are described in the ISO 11898-1:2015 specification. The CANpie FD API defines 19 functions to allow manufacturer independend access to the CAN controller to entirely support ISO specifications. The API is based on the concept of dedicated message buffers (mailboxes) in combination with acceptance masks to minimize the application

This pioneering controller goes far beyond the functionality of conventional PLC controllers. As an all in one IoT gateway, CANopen automation controller and top-hat rail PC, the µMIC.200 offers an end-to-end solution.

I/O modules are a fundamental component in industrial automation. They act as an interface between the control unit and the operational devices of the production line, facilitating precise control of complex processes. Our products have a CAN interface, so we support the CANopen, CANopen FD and J1939 protocols
