CANCrocodile Contactless reader

CANCrocodile is connected to CAN High and CAN Low wires of CAN j1939/21 bus without damaging wire insulation. CANCrocodile reads data from CAN bus without electrical contact with the wires. On the output CANCrocodile reproduces the same signal as it was read in CAN bus, e.g. no processing or alteration occurs.

CANCrocodile is designed for safe data reading from vehicle CAN bus. Contactless reader is used within vehicle telematics and GPS tracking systems for receiving various parameters of vehicle operation from CANbus: speed, RPM, oil pressure & temperature, fuel volume & consumption, etc. Data reading occurs without electrical connection and without damaging CAN wires. CANCrocodile works in “listen” mode only, i.e. it does not change original J1939 messages and does not send any signals to CANbus. Specifications:
