![]() Konrad Etschberger (Ixxat) presented it on the iCC 2000. Jointly with Ixxat (now part of HMS networks, Sweden), the Norwegian company developed ship automation systems based on CANopen. The CAN interface is redundant as required in marine applications.Īnother early adopter of CAN networking in maritime electronics was Kongsberg (Norway). MTU’s engine control system (ECS) is still connected to the MCS-6 host controller by means of a CAN interface and discrete I/O lines. In midterm, all MCS-5 systems will be converted to the MCS-6 controllers. In the meantime, it is substituted by the Ethernet-based MCS-6 monitoring and control system. Olaf Schnelle presented the MCS-5 decentralized automation system, which was on duty for about 20 years. This is just an excerpt.Īlready, mid of the 90ties, MTU (Germany) reported on the 2nd international CAN Conference (iCC) in London about CAN networking in ship automation systems. The complete article is published in the June issue of the CAN Newsletter magazine 2022. Currently, CiA started to specify a dual-mode redundancy concept suitable for all three CAN protocol generations. There are different standardized applications based on CANopen and J1939 (known as NMEA 2000). CAN networks are used in maritime electronics since a long time. ![]()
