Capturing data from the CANbus, the easy way 

The imc busDAQ is a CANbus data acquisition system. It can be connected to CANbus device such as sensors, measurement amplifiers or electronic control units and supports up to 8 nodes as well as a variety of protocols such as CCP and KWP2000. Measured data transmitted via CANbus can be triggered, displayed and mathematically processed. The busDAQ is configured using the very user-friendly software imcDevices and can be saved expressed in their physical units. Some models can be connected to the LIN and ARINC busses, in addition to CANbus.

No programming skills required!

busDAQ, like all other imc measurement devices, is configured and operated using imcDevices. This MS-Windows software comes as standard and enables quick and reliable measurement operation without the need for any programming skills or a deep understanding of CANbus. imcDevices allows measurement parameters, real-time functions, trigger machines, and storage modes to be set either manually or automatically. Display of measurement data plots in the Curve Window, as well as report composition with the Report Generator, are integral components of imcDevices.

Vector database linkage

In many cases, parameter settings are already available as a Vector database that can be imported by any busDAQ modules. This makes it possible to set large amounts of parameters quickly and easily. The data storage media used are either Compact Flash data carriers or IDE hard drives, having various data storage capacities depending on requirements allowing “stand-alone” PC independent operation. The standard Ethernet TCP/IP interface enables easy connection to the PC or integration into decentralized measurement networks.

busDAQ – a Personal Analyzer

The most important of imcDevices’ enhancements is the DSP computation unit Online FAMOS, which enables the definition of real-time functions and makes busDAQ a Personal Analyzer. In real time “virtual” channel can be computed from the raw data and displayed. A wide range of math and statistics functions, FFT, class-counting etc. are available for the user.

busDAQ – Data Analysis

The newest version of the signal analysis software imc FAMOS offers extensive options for analysis, evaluation and documentation of measurement results. The busDAQ unit saves the data directly in imc FAMOS format.

Application Areas

busLOG – Data Collector

This affordable module has permanently configured basic functions for standard, clearly defined data logging tasks. Its low power consumption, its signal-driven “Sleep Mode” and its capacity for rapid continuation of measurement by means of "Wake up on CAN", in only 200 ms, makes the busLOG particularly suitable for vehicle and fleet test applications. In such applications, the module’s high degree of data integrity, its self-activation mode, and its remote monitoring capability via Internet are great assets.

busDAQ-2 – Intelligent Measurement Networks

busDAQ-2 with its two nodes and expanded functions such as online functions, WLAN, modem, Display, and direct GPS connection is the standard module for measurement networks with decentralized CAN devices such as sensors, control units or imc CANSAS measurement modules.

busDAQ-X – Multi-bus / Multi-protocol Data Logger

busDAQ-X is the universal, configurable system module which can be expanded with additional multi-bus interfaces to up to 8 nodes. With the extended functions, such as online-functions, WLAN, modem, Display, digital in- and outputs, as well as direct GPS connection, even complex measurement networks or dive test applications are no problem.
