MU-Thermocouple1 CAN FD – Temperature Measuring Unit with CAN FD Support

The new measuring unit MU-Thermocouple1 CAN FD from PEAK-System transmits its temperature measurement data using the modern standard CAN FD. Depending on the product version, eight mini-connectors for thermocouples of the types J, K, or T are available for temperature measurement. The CAN communication is done via a D-Sub connector. The measuring unit supports the CAN FD standard with data bit rates up to 10 Mbit/s and is at the same time downward compatible to classic CAN 2.0 A/B.

With the MU-Thermocouple1 CAN FD, temperature measurement can be integrated directly into automotive test benches or industrial plants … Read More → "MU-Thermocouple1 CAN FD – Temperature Measuring Unit with CAN FD Support"

Altium Advances Electronic & Mechanical Co-Design

SAN DIEGO, May 20, 2021:  In the process of designing electronic products for industries like IoT, autonomous vehicles, and industrial automation—mechanical and electrical engineers face multiple challenges. One of the greatest sources of frustration mechanical engineers face happens when mechanical and PCB designers collaborate on the same electronic design assemblies.

During the design process of any complex electronics product, both mechanical and PCB designers are continually importing, exporting, and converting files in an effort to keep mechanical and electronic designs in sync. This adds hours of manual labor, data loss, and rework to the design process – and yet … Read More → "Altium Advances Electronic & Mechanical Co-Design"
