High-performance CAN-Bus cable for advanced engine control systems

High-performance CAN-Bus cable

The cable supports the transmission of sensor and diagnostic data as well as control data, such as engine rpm and temperature data as required by the parameter list defined in SAE J1939. The Hradil CAN-Bus cable is compliant with standards SAE J1939-11 (which defines the physical layer for high-speed CAN); SAE J1939-14 (the physical layer for 500 kbps applications); and SAE J1128 (the requirements of low-voltage primary cables of 60 VDC (25 VAC) or lower in surface vehicle electrical systems). In addition to its electrical characteristics, the cable has high resistance against oil, petrol, most alkaline and acidic media, and coolants and lubricants. As the cable was designed for outdoor use, it is resistant to ozone and UV radiation. Self-extinguishing and flame-retardant properties make it compliant with the fire protection standards IEC 60332-1-2 and UL94-V0. The cable jacket is produced from a special compound that results in robustness and durability. Hradil Spezialkabel GmbH www.hradil.de Recycled plastics resins for cable jackets Dow has launched a range of Revoloop™ recycled plastics resins that incorporate post-consumer recycled (PCR) material into cable jacketing to help address customers’ varying needs and circularity goals. This latest addition to the Revoloop resins portfolio prioritises performance similar to virgin plastic material for cable jackets while offering sustainability benefits. Adopting PCR into wire and cable products helps divert plastic waste from landfills and the natural environment by introducing it to the circular ecosystem, in line with Dow’s aim to “Transform the Waste” by commercialising 3mn metric tons of circular and renewable solutions annually by 2030. “With the launch of Revoloop resins for the global wire and cable industry, we are expanding our sustainability portfolio while helping our power and telecommunications customers meet their own targets,” said Edit Berczi, global wire and cable marketing manager for Dow’s packaging and speciality plastics business. “This offering, along with our steadfast commitment to quality and reliability and the high importance we place on safety, helps support our customers’ approach to PCR across the globe.” technology development and position as a one-stop supplier for the wire and cable industry, Dow says it is contributing to “a transformation in the processing and application of PCR ingredients – offering customers more global options to meet their goals.” Dow www.dow.com By combining its industry knowledge,

German cable engineering firm Hradil has introduced a shielded high-performance CAN-Bus cable for the engine and exhaust control systems of heavy-duty 12-cylinder diesel engines. Hradil’s CAN-Bus cable fulfils the demanding requirements set out in the Society of Automotive Engineers’ SAE 1939-11, SAE J1939-14 and SAE J1128 standards, and is one of only a small number of cables capable of meeting the criteria. The cable is suitable for dynamic applications such as drag chains, and is used for cranes, excavators, construction machinery and agricultural vehicles, in environments such as mining, tunnel construction, oil drilling rigs or the chemical industry. Owing to its special design, the cable can be relied on to resist high mechanical stresses and extreme temperatures ranging from -40 to +125°C. Hradil’s engineers developed the new high-performance CAN-Bus cable for the purpose of managing heavy-duty diesel engines where fast data transmission and high transfer rates are essential. With specific impedance characteristics at 120 ohms, the Hradil CAN-Bus is claimed to ensure optimal transmission rates with minimal signal reflection and losses.
