CANgate Gateway

The dataTaker CANgate is a CAN to ASCII gateway converting CAN (Controlled Area Network) and GPS data to serial ASCII data.  It has been designed to capture the real-time data available on CAN and GPS networks (e.g. temperatures, RPM, brake/throttle settings, latitude, longitude, speed etc.) and pass that information on to a dataTaker data logger.

Two CAN interface ports are included, which allow connection of two independent CAN networks. CANgate's versatile configuration options allow you to select the parameters of interest, apply statistical functions (average, minimum, maximum) and control the format in which data are returned.

Many CAN networks are used in vehicle, transport and marine applications where positional information can be an important part of the data collected. CANgate includes a GPS interface to allow integration of the positional, speed and other information available from GPS systems.

Interfaced to a host computer system directly, CANGate is configured in simple ASCII commands. This allows a terminal software application such as HyperTerminal or dataTaker's DeTransfer to be used to configure and collect data from CANGate.
