#CANbus #EngineeringDay2026
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.

#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.

"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.

#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.

#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.

#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.

#AUTOSAR #SecOC #AutomotiveTesting #HMSNetworks
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.
