One of the most famous motorbike races in the world, the Isle of Man TT is a mecca for all those who love the sights, sounds and smells of two and four-stroke engines! 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.

[post_content] => [vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Heikki Saha, from Kvaser’s Technical Associate TK Engineering Oy, is a man on a mission; his goal is to improve information transfer in the automation industry. 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. In addition, general information can also be found at IEC 61131-3 development at www.plcopen.org[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row el_class="default" eq_heights="1"][vc_column width="1/2"][vc_raket_product post_id="4599"][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/2"][vc_header_raket header_type="h4" header="Related articles:"][vc_column_text]Memorator provides 'black box' capability in the mining industry

With a clean, uncluttered, mobile-friendly look, the main change has been to simplify the path to finding CAN hardware and software. Working with Kvaser’s worldwide network of Technical Associates and Qualified Sales Representatives, Kvaser has developed an invaluable resource for anyone looking for a total CAN solution, listing software alongside the hardware that is core to Kvaser’s business.
Customers use Kvaser CAN interfaces in a multitude of ways e.g. for data acquisition, calibration, network analysis and rapid prototyping, and in a host of industries that include automotive, trucks and buses, industrial and aerospace. It is now possible to quickly identify just the right Kvaser CAN interface by selecting from a range of characteristics that include channel count, error handling, buffer type and temperature range.
Finding appropriate third-party software is just as easy, with the ability to narrow a search by functionality and industry type. Our software selector also acts as a guide to finding the right partner for custom engineering services, as many of Kvaser’s Technical Associates have expertise in specialist fields, such as J1939 or NMEA2000 protocol stacks.
Commenting on the new website, Michael Odälv, Executive Vice President, Director Marketing & Sales at Kvaser AB said: “Kvaser’s CAN interfaces are a valuable part of a CAN solution, but they are not the whole story. Kvaser is committed to providing open solutions that ensure easy toolchain integration, allowing engineers to concentrate on the job in hand rather than worrying about whether their hardware works with a particular software environment. Our Technical Associates provide software the works out-of-the-box with Kvaser hardware, so it’s our hope that the new website facilitates customer’s choice, in both their hardware and software decisions.”
Kvaser’s website is divided into four main sections: About Us, Products & Services, About CAN and Support. The contents of the ‘About CAN’ education section, which – going by historic web traffic – is well-used by customers and non-customers alike, have been optimised and visitors will now be able to follow a ‘CAN Protocol Tour’ that provides a logical introduction to CAN and its higher layer protocols. Customers will also find that the ‘Where to Buy’ tool is easier to use, providing a quicker and more efficient route to our worldwide sales channels.
Kvaser has long prided itself on the strength of its Support, which is free when you buy a Kvaser interface, along with software and software updates. In addition to contact details for our Global Support team, we have enhanced our Downloads and Developer sections, so that users can quickly drill down to what they need – whether it’s a development kit or driver, product schematic or User Guide.
The website will be updated on a regular basis, with news of events, product launches and new applications-oriented content. Please feel free to contact us to let us know your feedback and sign up for our newsletter whilst you are there! Visit www.kvaser.com to find out more.

Held at Frankfurt Airport, the event assembled 15 people from 13 different companies to discuss the development and maintenance status of stacks for CANopen, J1939 and NMEA2000, including how to market them.
Among the presenters was Chris Quigley of UK-based Warwick Control Technologies (WCT), which offers ready to buy stacks for CAN, J1939, LIN, CANopen, Zigbee and FleyRay. WCT has comprehensive stack integration experience, having distributed Noregon’s J1939 stacks in Europe until they were discontinued in 2011 (and taken on Kvaser’s stack since then), realized CAN and Zigbee stacks for the EV Blue Project, a FlexRay stack for a Hardware In the Loop (HIL) application, and implemented Port’s CANopen stack in several customer projects.
Timo Kesti, CEO of Finnish Technical Associate TK Engineering (TKE), explained how his company took on Kvaser’s CANopen stack development in 2009 and has since developed it into a broad offering that can be ported to any system. With 8bit, 16bit and Android compatibility for CANopen, plus developments such as a custom driver for Kvaser’s interfaces on Android, TKE now seeks support global partners for its products.
Alexander Philipp from Port explained how the company offers ready-to-use stacks for Ethernet POWERLINK, EtherCAT and CANopen, as well as small stacks for regular I/O tasks in PROFINET and EtherNet/IP. Port’s approach is to offer a complete package that consists of the Library, the Driver Package and the Design Tool. Meanwhile, Torsten Gedenk from emtas said that a similar package solution is offered with emtas’ CANopen Master and Slave stacks. Licenses include emtas’ CANopen DeviceDesigner and CAN/CPU driver adaption for one target, with the company capable of adapting targets from all the major semiconductor vendors.
Chinese technical associate Hirain Technologies was represented by two delegates, Yang Zheng and Kunsheng Chen. Chen explained the company’s experience developing CAN, LIN, FlexRay and Ethernet. It offers both off-the-shelf ‘one-time buy’ or ‘royalty free’ licenses for its stacks for in-vehicle networks, as well as custom stack development.
Asked about take-aways from the event, Chris Quigley said that WCT have had post-meeting discussions with TKE, with a view to working together to support a wider variety of microcontroller platforms. WCT’s goal is to be able to cater more fully to CANopen, J1939 and NMEA2000. “My intention for the future is that if we get a sales enquiry for a microcontroller that we have not worked with (e.g. Renesas M16C), I will look to licensing the Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL - required to interface the stack to the target microcontroller) from TKE.”
Confirms Timo Kesti: “We at TKE feel the very same way as WCT does about selling the protocol stacks. It´s not about the price of the stack itself ... It´s the work around it, to fit into the customer’s environment. Co-operating with HALs is one good step forward!” Kesti concludes: “Such meetings are a very good point for discussions, After all, we seem to ‘suffer’ the same kind of problems.”
It’s Kvaser’s intention to make this a regular event in the calendar. Please feel free to register your interest and/or seek further information by contacting Michael Odälv at [email protected][/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

One of the most famous motorbike races in the world, the Isle of Man TT is a mecca for all those who love the sights, sounds and smells of two and four-stroke engines! 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.
