CAN / CANopen Integration

The Challenge: Expensive Hardware Barriers for Mobile Machinery and Power Assets.

Extracting internal vehicle metrics, battery statuses, or generator alarms from heavy equipment, mobile machinery, or specialized energy systems is notoriously difficult. These systems rely natively on the CAN/CANopen bus for internal subsystem communication. Standard automation hardware cannot read this data stream directly, forcing manufacturers and retrofitting teams to purchase expensive, highly specialized proprietary gateways just to read basic diagnostic error codes.

The Solution: Native CAN Bus Sniffing and Diagnostics via ATLAS.

The ATLAS – CAN Integration node taps directly into the machine’s native nervous system without complicating the surrounding hardware stack.

  • Bus Acquisition: Native reading of continuous CAN / CANopen telemetry streams.

  • System Tracking: Extraction of internal subcomponent temperatures, hydraulic states, and real-time alarm triggers.

  • Hardware Architecture: Compact design that completely bypasses the need for dedicated single-purpose converter boxes.

Expected Results.

Direct Impact / Benefit

Proprietary Gateway Dependency
High (expensive, specialized hardware required per asset)
None (direct native CAN bus integration)
Immediate hardware cost reduction
Diagnostic Depth
Shallow (restricted to external sensor approximations)
Deep (access to internal controller parameters)
Granular insight into powertrain and component stress
Retrofit Complexity
Complex (re-routing lines and splicing sensor bundles)
Clean (non-invasive bus connection tap)
Drastic reduction in asset modification risks
Telemetry Component Footprint
Bulky (multiple interface converters clustered together)
Minimalist (streamlined single-gateway footprint)
Ideal for space-constrained mobile cabins and enclosures

Why This Matters for Mobile Equipment and Power System OEMs.

For manufacturers of mobile industrial vehicles and decentralized power infrastructure, gaining immediate entry to internal diagnostic networks is crucial for building out fleet telemetry networks. Bypassing proprietary interface boxes lowers assembly costs and allows development teams to bring connected vehicle diagnostics to market much faster.
