CAN Bus Technology in E-Bikes –
Precise Data Acquisition with I/O Modules from MicroControl
The requirements modern e-bikes have to fulfill are growing – and with them the need for precise, reliable measurement technology.
For example: the analogue signals of brake forces are recorded via specific sensors, then processed and sent to the system via the CAN bus.
The measurement data is evaluated in real-time in interaction with the motor and display units – a practical scenario for intelligent networking in e-bikes.
The aim: secure, efficient communication between all components – for better performance, greater safety and an optimized user experience.
For testing and development purposes, I/O-modules of the TRS series from MicroControl are used. The IP 67 ranked cable transmitter modules are designed for space-saving integration in the measuring lines of temperature and strain gauge sensors to minimize interference.
CAN Bus Communication for Smart E-Bikes
Today’s e-bikes are more than just bicycles with an electric drive – they are intelligent systems. The motor and display communicate via CAN bus which ensures smooth, secure data transmission in real time.
This is where protocol stacks from MicroControl come into play. Our solution facilitates reliable and standard-compliant communication – even in demanding conditions. Whether diagnostics, performance data or user interaction: our technology turns the e-bike into a networked experience.
The modular structure of MicroControl protocol stacks features both price advantages and major time savings: only the lowest driver layer, CANpie FD, needs to be replaced for a new project, the protocol stack itself can then be used for the new task.
