PCAN-Explorer 7 vs. Vector CANalyzer: which CAN bus tool is right for your bench? We broke down cost, scripting, and protocol support to help you decide. gridconnect.com/blogs/news/p… #CANbus #CANFD #EmbeddedSystems

Modbus RTU → EtherNet/IP in 2 steps: Configure your parameters Map your registers Load to GRID45-EIP. Test on your bench. Send to Grid Connect — ships pre-configured on every reorder. Free: gridconnect.com/pages/protoc… #EtherNetIP #IndustrialAutomation #IIoT

New in stock: PCAN-Repeater FD with 5 kV Isolation from PEAK-System. Extends and isolates CAN bus segments with CAN FD support up to 8 Mbit/s and ~175 ns transit delay. gridconnect.com/products/pca… #CANbus #IIoT #CANFD

"Pretty straightforward UI. If you know Modbus RTU, you know what those options are." Nick mapped 86 registers on his laptop, sent the map to Grid Connect, and now every reorder ships pre-configured. No remapping. Free: gridconnect.com/pages/protoc… #EtherNetIP #Modbus #Engineering

Adding EtherNet/IP to a Modbus device? The hardest part is defining the register map exactly how you need it, then shipping that config reliably every time. Protocol Mapper handles that. Free. Mac/Win/Linux + browser. gridconnect.com/pages/protoc… #EtherNetIP #Modbus #OEM

Thermal risk. Stranded capacity. Too many tools. Quicklime by AKCP consolidates it all — with AI constrained by live sensor data, not assumptions. gridconnect.com/products/qui… #DataCenter #DCIM

"The support was really good. The value seemed great for the solution it offered." Two legacy generators. Modbus RTU → EtherNet/IP. One day. ~$400. gridconnect.com/blogs/our-cu… #IndustrialIoT #Modbus

PCAN-Explorer 7 licensing has three layers: base license (Single Computer or Floating), offline access (USB dongle or License Borrowing in v7.1), and annual maintenance. This guide breaks down what to choose and when. gridconnect.com/blogs/news/p… #CANbus #CANFD #PCANExplorer

Ixxat Mobilizer Pro 820/EtherCAT: 8x CAN FD, Automotive Ethernet, EtherCAT, LIN, SENT, & K-Line — one standalone gateway. Runs Linux on an i.MX 8M Plus. Drag-and-drop config, no programming. gridconnect.com/products/mob… #CANFD #EtherCAT #AutomotiveEthernet #Ixxat

GRID485-MBTCP firmware v2.06 adds live Modbus traffic monitoring, Wireshark PCAPNG export, & tighter security — direct from the web manager, no extra hardware. Now shipping on all new orders. Existing units can request an update. gridconnect.com/blogs/produc… #Modbus #RS485

A gate needed RS-485 access across the street — no wire or cellular fees. Grid Connect's NET485 + wireless Ethernet bridges solved it. 4 units, years of uptime, no maintenance. "I don't know what I'd do without this product." gridconnect.com/blogs/our-cu… #RS485 #IndustrialNetworking

PCAN-Explorer 7.1 is out: License Borrowing for up to 30 days Also new: a built-in Trace Converter (ASC, MF4) and HTML5-based help docs. gridconnect.com/products/pca… #CANbus #IndustrialNetworking

A device that wakes its radio once per hour instead of once per minute runs ~60x longer on the same battery. Sleep-first design, lightweight protocols, edge computing — that's what IoT sustainability actually looks like. gridconnect.com/blogs/news/s… #IoT #EmbeddedSystems #MQTT

Grid Connect now carries Teltonika Telematics — 24 years of GPS vehicle tracking hardware, 21M+ devices deployed worldwide. Fleet management, logistics, insurance telematics, construction. CAN BUS, OBD2, GNSS, LTE. gridconnect.com/pages/telton… #Telematics #FleetManagement #CANbus

RS-485 faults in induction heating environments are almost impossible to reproduce on the bench. This OEM solved it with non-intrusive diagnostic logging — timestamps intact, PLC traffic untouched. gridconnect.com/blogs/our-cu… #RS485 #Modbus #IndustrialAutomation
