Andrija Matošić, Electronics Team Lead, states: “The U100 is one of the best CAN interfaces we have worked with so far; the status LEDs and the rugged casing really separate it from the devices of other manufacturers. By pairing it with the Air Bridge devices and our diagnostic application, we solved a lot of electrical problems on the car.”[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_video link="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_YExzDnIxY" align="center"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]FESB Racing is competing in both Formula Student and MotoStudent and has successfully built three formula vehicles and four motorbikes. The team is now working on its first fully electric formula car and a fourth-generation petrol motorcycle. Kvaser has donated CAN hardware and software for development and testing to the University of Split-based team since 2020. Upcoming competitions include the 2023 MotoStudent competition in Spain and various Formula Student competitions in 2024.

                    [post_content] => [vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image="41508"][vc_column_text]Environmentally and from a health and safety perspective, long haul trucking has an arms-length list of disadvantages, and yet it represents the way that over 75% of total inland freight in Europe is moved. Radical change is coming though. Leading the change are a mix of industry incumbents and start-ups that are reinventing truck architectures, charging infrastructure and freight management platforms. Unsurprisingly, they are replacing the diesel engine with full or partial electrification. More surprising is the driver’s transformation into ‘operator’, controlling the truck remotely, or indeed, some manufacturer’s progress to full autonomy. Enabling these changes are a combination of fundamentally new technologies and familiar ones, including CAN. 

Speaking to a member of the platform team for one, not-to-be-named autonomous and electric truck manufacturer, it's clear that the fundamental electrical architecture remains very similar to traditional trucks, albeit with more network buses and a lot more data. ‘Under the hood’ has evolved into a more distributed electrical layout for all electric vehicles, but with an average of six CAN networks on the truck, primarily for chassis control (or the ‘skateboard’ as it is increasingly referred to), plus eight Ethernet-only networks, the changes stop there. There is an advantage in keeping it simple, the engineer explains, and CAN’s reliability, ubiquity, electrical robustness and resistance to EMI, means that it remains the obvious choice for many key vehicle systems.

When building from the outset for no driver, a safety culture is paramount. As a result, one question that this autonomous truck manufacturer posed was how to collect CAN data while categorically not affecting the vehicle control systems, or increasing the risk of a security breach? A positive feature of CAN is that it can be configured quickly and easily using a standard CAN interface, which can both transmit and receive CAN messages. However, in certain situations, CAN interfaces should be used in silent mode to ‘listen only’ (or receive only). The Kvaser USBcan range provides software-controlled silent mode, but the manufacturer in question chose the new Kvaser USBcan Pro 4xHS Silent, which implements silent-mode through hardware and thus, cannot transmit on bus. The device is mounted within the main computer housing of all prototype vehicles and logs CAN data continuously. 

The hyper-complexity of the myriad sensors, software and data on which autonomous vehicles rely is often cited. What is often less considered, for start-ups at least, is their unique opportunity to reduce complexity by analysing what they need and what they do not. In relation to CAN data collection, this translates to a requirement for simpler listen-only interfaces that cannot be used by a potential attacker to affect the safety-critical CAN busses from the logging application, but also to more standard requirements, such as Linux support and backwards compatibility. For the resource constrained, backwards compatibility ensures that simple migration to other CAN hardware is assured in the long-term. 

For the autonomous and electric heavy-duty sector, the end-goal is a revolution in the way that goods and people are moved. As part of this, rethinking how CAN tools are used within the development process is an extremely worthwhile endeavour.

Organised by CAN in Automation (CiA), the international users and manufacturers group, the series of CAN XL plugfests tests the interoperability of CAN XL protocol controllers and CAN SIC XL transceivers. An approved standard for CAN XL is likely to be published next year. Kvaser successfully tested in-house CAN-XL IP running on an FPGA on a small format board. Our physical layer installation made it easy to replace the existing CAN-driver with NXP’s newly-released CAN SIC XL driver. One question raised at the CAN-XL conference was whether it was possible to use galvanic isolation with CAN-XL. As our fully-galvanically isolated CAN XL test board demonstrated at speeds up to 20 MBit/s, it is. Kent Lennartsson, research manager for Kvaser, commented: “Aside from testing the new CAN SIC XL drivers, participants trialed different cable layouts, including linear with drop lines and double star. Linear configurations work to 20 MBit/s.” CAN XL is widely viewed as the future of CAN, following on from CAN FD and the original CAN protocol, Classical CAN. CAN XL supports any bitrate from 0.1 to 20 Mbit/s and retains key advantages of CAN such as collision-resolution by arbitration, a characteristic that makes it a simple, robust alternative for high speed real-time communication.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row] [post_title] => CAN XL Plugfest success for Kvaser [post_excerpt] => [post_status] => publish [comment_status] => closed [ping_status] => closed [post_password] => [post_name] => can-xl-plugfest-success-for-kvaser [to_ping] => [pinged] => [post_modified] => 2023-05-15 12:44:29 [post_modified_gmt] => 2023-05-15 12:44:29 [post_content_filtered] => [post_parent] => 0 [guid] => https://www.kvaser.com/?p=41616 [menu_order] => 0 [post_type] => post [post_mime_type] => [comment_count] => 0 [filter] => raw ) [4] => WP_Post Object ( [ID] => 41356 [post_author] => 23 [post_date] => 2023-04-13 02:08:07 [post_date_gmt] => 2023-04-13 02:08:07 [post_content] => [vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image="41362"][vc_column_text]Kvaser supplied Solar Team Sneek with a Kvaser Ethercan HS at the beginning of 2022 to help debug CAN bus, using it with a 4G router to setup telemetry for their solar boat. Solar Team Sneek is based in the town of Sneek, in the Netherlands, known as the water sport capital of the region. We spoke with Meindert de Groot, electrical engineer on the team, to find out how they got on using our Kvaser Ethercan HS and to learn more about their CAN system, their telemetry system, and what they can monitor remotely.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=".vc_custom_1681350766403{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}"][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Kvaser: Could you tell us a little about your solar boat project. Meindert: We are a team of enthusiastic students and graduates from a variety of technical disciplines such as mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and marine/composite engineering. Our aim is to introduce people to the possibilities of electric boats and vehicles and fight for a sustainable future.

Kvaser: How did you use the Kvaser Ethercan HS? Meindert: To communicate between the electronic components in the boat we use CAN bus. The CAN bus gathers data on all the components like battery information (state of charge, the amount of discharge power, etc.), and data from the MMPTs (Maximum Power Point Trackers) to see how much each solar string produces. For the strategy team, this information is crucial to make decisions on how fast we can sail. Depending on the amount of solar, we can decide to sail on hydrofoils to go fast with less energy loss.

To get the info to the Cloud we started with the Kvaser Ethercan HS to bridge CAN and Ethernet. The Ethernet packages are read by the 4G modem and sent to the Cloud, which allows the strategy team to have live access to the data. A VPN allows us to reach the Kvaser Ethercan HS from anywhere with a data connection.

Kvaser: What have you been able to monitor remotely thanks to the Ethercan HS? Meindert: We can remotely check all the data on the CAN bus. We look at things like battery data: min/max battery cell voltages, temperatures of the battery, currents in and out, state of charge, and the data from the solar inverters. To use the energy as efficiently as possible we need to closely monitor all components in the electrical system. We sail on hydrofoils, but can only do that if we have sufficient energy; there is a minimum speed of 16 km/h needed to get the boat to foil. This of course uses more energy than cruising so we must be sure we have the energy for it.

Thanks to the CAN bus, we can monitor the energy received from the sun on each solar array separately. Each solar panel has its own MPPT which sends its own data on the CAN bus, so each panel can be monitored separately.

The power drawn from the motor is also very important as we can deduct from the speed and power drawn how efficiently the boat flies. As we do tests regularly, we have data we can compare. Propulsion issues can also be detected immediately by comparing datasets.

Kvaser: Did you need any technical support from us? And did you use Kvaser software? Meindert: We had absolutely no problem using the Kvaser Ethercan HS. We downloaded the drivers easily from the Kvaser website and used the Kvaser CanKing to initially check if the data came through. When connected we could easily set up the configuration for the Ethercan and immediately send the data over Ethernet to our laptop that was running our own software to log the data in a Prometheus database and readout the data via Grafana.

Kvaser: How did the race go? Meindert: We learned a lot from the race during the summer of 2022! The weather was amazing, and all our electronic components were working perfectly. After about 10 km, however, disaster struck - an unidentified item from beneath the water impacted the back hydrofoil, which houses our drive unit. The blow split the hydrofoil in half and it disconnected from the prop shaft. We immediately took the boat out of the water and started repairs but on the second day, we again crashed into an object underwater, which sadly meant the end of the race week for us.

There wasn't much we could have done to avoid these mishaps, but we did learn a lot from them. For example, we never thought we'd be at the start line again the next day, but through teamwork and perseverance we succeeded!
