Pro specs CAN logger - at half the cost
The CANedge1 combines innovative design, cutting-edge components - and incredibly low costs:
- 2 x CAN (incl. CAN FD) + 2 x LIN channels
- Extractable 8-32 GB industrial SD card (= months of data)
- Popular binary MDF4 log file format
- Advanced message filtering & transmit functionality

- Support for CAN/LIN error frame logging
- Fast boot time. Safely disconnect during use (power safe

The device includes an extractable 8-32 GB industrial SD card (Class 10). This ensures e.g. optimal endurance and rapid data transfer (W/R 50/80 MB/s)

The CANedge enables logging of raw CAN/LIN data incl. CAN FD, J1939, CANopen, OBD2, UDS, ISOBUS, NMEA2000 - across any CAN/LIN application.

The device is designed to be extremely compact (75 x 47 x 20 mm). Despite the robust aluminium enclosure, it weighs only 100G.

The 2x high speed CAN channels enable time-synced recording of data from two CAN buses - ideal for e.g. many heavy duty vehicle application

The 2nd port (CH2) provides a configurable 5V power out, letting you easily power e.g. CANmod sensor-to-CAN modules (temperature, analog/digital/pulse, ...)

The CANedge1 comes with flanges to enable easy installation at scale. The 'mounting kit' includes screws and optional vibration dampeners.
Use Cases
The CANedge1 is a powerful, standalone CAN logger for standalone CAN logging, diagnostics and development.
Need to monitor data from your vehicle fleet?
The CANedge1 is ideal for recording data over long periods from fleets - incl. cars (via OBD2) and heavy-duty vehicles (via J1939). With filters, compression & cyclic logging you can log months or years of data. This makes the device well-suited as an automotive data logger for e.g. warranty/legal data storage or optimization. Further, by adding GNSS/IMU data, you'll be able to exactly pin-point where an issue occurred - and time-sync it to valuable information about driving behavior and vehicle dynamics.
Need to identify a rare, but critical issue?
If you have e.g. production equipment that periodically exhibts an issue the CANedge1 is a great diagnostics tool. Simply connect it and leave it in, creating a rolling window of e.g. the last X months of data. If the issue occurs, you can extract the raw data, DBC decode it and plot it for quick diagnostics. Further, with the built-in IMU, you can deploy the CANedge1 so as to gain e.g. acceleration or angular rate data from e.g. industrial robotics or machinery to aid in your diagnostics.
Need to optimize your CAN based equipment based on long-term data?
The standalone CANedge1 is ideal for recording data from equipment deployed in the field: It is durable, compact and simple to install. You can e.g. pre-configure the device - and ship it to the end-users for installation. Further, the GNSS/IMU module adds 40+ signals like position, speed, acceleration, distance and more - enhancing your insights. Further, the built-in sensor fusion ensures that these signals gain three times the accuracy vs. GNSS-only receivers.
