High-Precision 8-Channel A to D CAN module: Measures 0–5V signals in 0.003V increments at up to 333Hz with built-in 10kΩ pull-down resistors for direct connection to resistance-based sensors
Versatile Functionality: Includes PWM duty cycle and frequency measurement, digital input status, and a pulse counter, plus a low-power sleep mode (<1mA) with voltage threshold wake-up, ideal for CAN-based wake-up applications
Robust and Easy Integration: Features an IP67-rated connector, configurable CAN bus speed and address, and a supplied DBC file for seamless integration into automotive and industrial systems
Bristol, UK – Metis Engineering, a leader in innovative engineering solutions, is proud to announce the launch of its latest product, the Analogue to Digital CAN Module. This cutting-edge device is designed to seamlessly convert analogue signals into digital data, facilitating enhanced integration with Controller Area Network (CAN) systems across a wide range of industries, including automotive, marine, aerospace, marine energy storage and industrial automation.
The 12bit 8 channel Analogue to Digital CAN Module is capable of measuring 0–5V signals in precise 0.003V increments, with sampling rates of up to 333Hz. A 10kΩ pull-down resistor on each channel enables direct connection to resistance-based temperature sensors without the need for additional components.
In addition to analogue input, the module supports pulse-width modulation (PWM) duty cycle and frequency measurement, digital input status, and includes a pulse counter, ideal for applications such as traction control. The module also includes a low power sleep mode consuming less than 1mA, with the ability to wake on voltage thresholds, making it suitable for use as a CAN wake-up device via external triggers such as a button press.
Its compact design ensures easy integration into existing systems, while robust construction and an automotive IP67-rated connector offer high reliability even in harsh environments. The configurable CAN bus speed and address, along with a supplied DBC file, allow for straightforward integration into virtually any CAN network.
“Our new Analogue to Digital CAN Module addresses the growing need for efficient and accurate data conversion in modern engineering applications,” said Joe Holdsworth, Founder and CEO at Metis Engineering. “By offering a reliable solution for integrating analogue inputs into digital CAN systems, we empower our clients to enhance the performance and efficiency of their operations.”
The module is compatible with a wide range of sensors and devices, making it suitable for a host of applications requiring precise data acquisition and transmission. Its plug-and-play functionality simplifies installation, reducing downtime and implementation costs.
Metis Engineering also offers complementary products, such as the Nano Development Kit and the R&D Development Kit, to support the evaluation and integration of their CAN-based sensors and modules. These kits provide all necessary cables and features to facilitate seamless connection and testing within CAN networks.
The Analogue to Digital CAN Module is manufactured in the UK and now available for purchase at a price of £165.00 excluding VAT. For more information about the product and to place an order, please visit https://metisengineering.com/product/analogue-to-digital-can-module/.
