6.19 SENT: Gateway from SENT to the CAN-Bus
The imc CANSAS-SENT module has inputs to accommodate eight SENT sensors. The signals are captured
by the SENT sensors and transmitted on the CAN-bus. This means that the module represents a manifold
gateway from SENT to the CAN-bus.
The displayed mounting brackets 90° are available and
described in a separate document (PDF).
Technical Specs: imc CANSAS-SENT
The device conforms to the standard SAE J2716 of 2007, 2008 and 2010, which specifies the SENT
protocol. SENT stands for Single Edge Nibble Transmission for Automotive Applications.
Highlights:
The imc CANSAS-SENT module can be used with any sensor having a SENT output. Sensor having a
SENT output are used in the automotive industry, e.g. as a Hall sensor, pressure sensor, steer angle
sensor, throttle valve position sensor or air mass sensor.
imc CANSAS-SENT is suited to any application requiring the integration of SENT sensors into an
existing CAN-bus measurement setup, especially in test stands, on board test vehicles and in sensor
technology testing.
For best results, imc CANSAS-SENT can be supplemented with other imc CANSAS modules and such
data acquisition devices as imc BUSDAQ.
Software:
Parameterization of the module is accomplished via the CAN-bus by means of the imc CANSAS
software as of Version 1.8. Each of the 8 SENT inputs can be configured separately. The CAN-bus
configuration can be freely adjusted, as with all imc CANSAS modules.
The 8 SENT inputs are isolated both mutually and from the chassis/ground. Each input is designed
for connection of a SENT sensor. The sensor’s power is supplied in conformity to SAE J2716 (5V with
max. 20mA).
The CANSAS-SENT module has one status LED on its front panel for each SENT input.
One special feature is interference-free signal tapping.
