Technoton MasterCAN Data Converter - Protocol Transformation Tool

Description

Technoton MasterCAN Data Converter is engineered to solve the interoperability challenges often faced in modern telemetry. In many industrial and automotive applications, equipment operates on varying standards—some use legacy J1708, while others utilize modern CAN J1939 or industrial Modbus RTU protocols. This converter eliminates these barriers by performing real-time transformation and translation of data.

The device functions by integrating sensors and peripherals into a unified network. It filters J1939/71 and Modbus messages, ensuring that only relevant data is passed to the telematics control unit, reducing data overhead and processing load. This capability is critical for optimizing the performance of GPS vehicle tracking systems and industrial automation networks where bandwidth and processing efficiency are paramount.

Brand

Technoton

Technoton was established in April 2000, at the early stage of emerging market of automotive telematics and GPS tracking systems. We started with development and manufacture of GPS tracking devices, fuel level sensors and fuel flow meters. Soon we focused on solving tasks of fuel consumption measurement and fuel usage monitoring, safe CANbus data reading and analysis.

Technoton’s technical team includes highly-qualified engineers and developers, who have wide expertise in micro controller units, mechanical engineering, computer science, programming and diagnosis.
