The CANalarm®is a diagnostic connector which is provided as an entry-level bus monitoring tool and as a low cost redundancy in safety-related areas.
Entry-level bus monitoring tool
The CANalarm® in the form of a 9-pin D-Sub field bus connector is designed for the logical monitoring of CAN bus systems and is integrated via plug&play into an existing and running system. There it automatically detects the baud rate and starts to analyze independently the entire bus traffic.
As a passive bus node, it detects without interaction and continuously typical characteristics of a CAN communication and compares it with user settable trigger criteria:
