Data Logger
Powerful and easy to configure logging solution for
CAN (FD) and LIN systems
With CANnector Log HMS provides an easy to use data logger with a large range of functions. It allows logging of CAN (FD) and LIN data to USB mass storage devices for analysis on PC – enabling predictive maintenance, surveillance of machines as well as error analysis.
Data recording
Parallel data logging for CAN*, CAN FD, LIN and digital I/Os
Preconfigured
Runs out of the box, but can be adapted to a wide variety of tasks by an easy to use configuration tool (drag&drop)
Data storage
Data storage on USB memory stick*, USB mass storage device or in the cloud
Various data formats
CSV*, MDF, BLF, ASC, DBC, LDF
Optional Programming
C user code with Eclipse based development environment and/or Matlab/Simulink models to extend the logger to your specific requirements
Websocket
Browser-based visualization of online data on desktop PCs and mobile devices
*preconfigured
CANnector Log
CANnector Log is a preconfigured version of the CANnector S device, enabling users to easily log CAN data without time consuming configuration. The four provided basic CAN logging configurations initialize all 6 CAN interfaces with 125 kbit/s, 250 kbit/s, 500 kbit/s, or 1000 kbit/s and log all received data in csv format. For logging a 16 GB USB memory stick is included. Data logging is executed autarkic on the device, a PC is only needed for a user specific configuration or visualization of live data.
Since CANnector Log is based on the common CANnector S variant, the device functionality can easily be adapted or enhanced by using the ACT tool – providing extended logging functionality or even bridge or range extender functionality.
Highlights
- Up to 6 CAN buses (thereof 2 CAN FD capable)
- Supports CAN listen only (CAN RX)
- Switch-on on CAN (self switch on in case of any CAN communication or a defined message)
- Extensive filter and trigger options to reduce data flooding
- Storage to any USB memory device possible – no data restrictions
- Easy access via USB, LAN or optional WLAN/WiFi, 4G
- Signal-oriented or frame-oriented logging
- Plug&Play, but also configurable/programmable
- Standalone operation
- Extended temperature range (-40 °C to 80 °C)
- Galvanic isolation
- DIN rail mountable

- Remote device management (OPC UA, HMS-Hub)
- LAN/USB/WLAN (optional WLAN module required) access for signal visualization
Configuration & Operation
Configuration and Operation
CANnector Log is preconfigured and can be used directly without further configuration. However, for customers which require specific functionality – e.g. with message filtering or triggers – HMS provides easy to use tools to use the logger “your” way.
Dashboard
With the dashboard, that is accessible with a standard web browser via Ethernet, USB or WLAN (WiFi), the CANnector Log and the connected bus systems can be monitored, the different basic configurations can be selected, started and stopped on the device, log files can be uploaded to the PC, and live data can be visualized.
ACT Tool
ACT is Windows based and allows the easy creation of configurations with or without bus description files via drag and drop. The ACT tool provides further configuration possibilities (e.g. changing triggers and filters).
IxAdmin
IxAdmin is included in the ACT tool. With IxAdmin the different basic configurations can be selected, started, stopped and downloaded to the device. Changing baud rate settings and uploading log files to the PC is also possible.
