CAN Crocodile

CAN Crocodile is an attachment sensor to detect CAN messages on CAN wires without damaging the wires. It can be used to READ and log CAN messages but does not allow you to send them. It provides a good means of checking wires for CAN activity and to determine if it is the desired CAN bus. It has no real CAN capability other than it can sniff CAN messages electromagnetically and send them to your device as a normal CAN level differential signal. Safe connection to CAN bus CAN Crocodile does no damage to insulation of wires and has no direct electrical contact with CANbus. Data reading occur in a contactless way – CAN Crocodile detects magnetic field around CAN-High and CAN-Low wires. Strong fixation of CAN bus wires The design of the body provides perpendicular fixing of the wires to reading surface. This way of fixing will not allow the CAN bus wires to slip from the CAN Crocodile reading surface. A soft pressure pad in the upper part of the housing tightly presses the wires to reading surface. LED indication of operation modes Red indicator – power is on, blinking green indicator – messages receipt from CAN bus. Indicators allow to test the operability of the reader without dismantling and connecting to monitoring terminal.
