BT500 CANPORT

The CANPort is a rugged device that captures and converts Bluetooth^® data into CAN messages. This device enables additional sensor data to stream on to bus for equipment and telematics.

The CANPort constantly scans for OEM Data Delivery’s BT Trackers, Tags, and Sensors. After BT capture, the device converts the data into the appropriate CAN data format. The data format is a low priority Type B PGN or can be customized to meet the application’s needs. The CANPort manages the frequency of data transmission by “trickling” the data onto the telematic device or machine’s CAN Bus.

The telematics can be programmed to listen for the CAN PORT specific PGN messages on the CAN Bus. OEM DD BT Trackers are simple sensor or asset tracking devices. The data and beacon format can be modified to provide appropriate data for the application. The asset tracking devices can go on any, and all equipment attachments, & tools. The BT sensor devices have digital and analog inputs for a wide variety of sensors including fuel level, air filter flow, fuel dispensing, tilt, and temperature. Along with the DD Mobile apps, for phones and tablets, and receiver gateways, the CANPort is another data capture device transmitting BT sensor data to the machine or the cloud.
