World-leaders in gas measurement and control solutions, Chell Instruments, have announced that their range of high-performance miniature pressure scanners now support both CAN-FD and classic CAN as standard.
CAN-FD (Controller Area Network Flexible Data-Rate) is a modernised protocol, which permits significantly faster data transmission using flexible data rates – improving overall efficiency and responsiveness.
“Adding CAN-FD is a game-changer for the data transfer of our products’ precision measurements, so we are excited to be using it in our latest range of pressure scanners, including the nanoDAQ and microDAQ3. With even better data transfer speeds and larger message payloads, our scanners can capture even faster and more reliable pressure data” says Jamie Shanahan, Director of Chell Instruments.
CAN-FD was developed in response to growing industry demands for greater efficiency – offering data transfer rates up to five times faster than traditional CAN, along with larger frame and message sizes.
Due to its high-speed and high-capacity data transfer rates, CAN and CAN-FD are especially important in the development of modern high-performance vehicles.
Originally offering their devices with the standard CAN protocol, Chell’s range has now been developed to include CAN-FD – further supporting their Formula1 and motorsport clients.
“Our automotive and aerodynamics clients in motorsport require the utmost accuracy as the slightest deviation can impact vehicle design, handling and performance. That’s why we have now enhanced our pressure scanners with CAN-FD – enabling enhanced real-time monitoring of critical vehicle parameters and aerodynamic testing” adds Jamie.
North Walsham-based Chell Instruments have been providing pressure, vacuum and gas flow measurement equipment since 1976.
With their specialist technology supporting key sectors, including aerospace, pharmaceuticals, energy and motorsport, Chell Instruments are regularly developing their product with new innovations.
“We never stand still and staying at the forefront of pressure, vacuum and gas flow and control instrumentation means we’re continually enhancing products to meet the evolving demands of modern test environments. From precision-engineered pressure scanners to CAD-FD communication, we’re proud to set the standard for performance and innovation in measurement technology” concludes Jamie.
