Regarding to
wikipedia; CAN bus (for controller area network) is a vehicle bus standard designed to allow microcontrollers and devices to communicate with each other within a vehicle without a host computer.
CAN bus is a message-based protocol,
designed specifically for automotive applications but now also used in
other areas such as aerospace, maritime, industrial automation and medical equipment.
Development of the CAN bus started originally in 1983 at Robert Bosch GmbH. The protocol was officially released in 1986 at the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) congress in Detroit, Michigan. The first CAN controller chips, produced by Intel and Philips, came on the market in 1987.
In other words,
CanBus is a special network of your vehicle and it provides a communication between all subsystems of your vehicle. So, as an end user how do you interact with
CanBus? Easily we can say that all information; such as actual fuel consumption, velocity, engine rpm, temperature, fuel level; on the displays of your vehicle are provided by
CanBus. But, what if you are away from your vehicle/vehicles and someone else is driving it? Is it possible to monitor all those information on
CanBus remotely by real time? Yes it is! For example you are a fleet owner and you have more than 100 vehicles, which are being drived by your employers, you are able to see all information on the
CanBus of your vehicles remotely with
Armoli Elite Can Fuel Safety Systems.
It is possible to monitor the all information on your vehicle remotely. You can monitor;
Actual Fuel Consumption
- Cooling Water Temperature
How will it be possible to see CanBus data remotely?
As it is known,
GPS Tracking Services transfers the datas such as
GPS position, direction, etc. via GPRS.
Armoli Kaan Elite Can sends the
CanBus information of your vehicle additionally. Without any special software, you will be able to see the
GPS position and the
CanBus data of your vehicle remotely via internet. Also you will be able to generate many different reports about the actions of your vehicle.
Is CanBus monitoring something new?
CanBus monitoring is a new service, which can be provided by limited
GPS Tracking service providers. It is important to note that to see your
CanBus data remotely your vehicle must have a
CanBus. Brand new vehicles have this system remotely but some old vehciles may not have the system. If you have an old vehicle and would like to monitor actual fuel consumption,
Armoli have innovative solutions for this problem. It will be explained in new posts.
No,
CanBus monitoring is not enough to
prevent fuel theft. When the engine of your vehcile stopped, all
CanBus information stops and no data will be generated until you start the engine. For example you have parked your vehicle at night and went to your home, a thief has stolen all fuel of your truck. Your
tracking system will not send you any notification, because the engine of your vehicle is off and your fuel tank is not monitoring anymore. There are two solutions to
prevent fuel theft;
1. You will leave your vehicle on idle mode and let your vehicle and
GPS Tracking System to monitor your fuel tank and will ask them to provide a notification to you in case of hard decreasing on your fuel level.
"Ordinary GPS and CanBus monitoring systems can not provide CanBus data when the engine is off. And fuel tank does not be monitored. But Armoli Kaan Elite Can monitors your fuel tank 7/24 and sends SMS, email or alerts in case of any attack on your fuel tank"
