Grid Connect can customize or produce a product based on our technology that fits your requirements.
Quickly and effectively implement your partial or complete, networking or embedded product.
We specialize in solving challenging IoT problems in demanding environments. No matter your application requirements.
Grid Connect provides deep technical expertise in CANbus solutions. We offer the industry leading PCAN USB Adapter as well as a wide selection of other PCAN products.
At Grid Connect we are experts in all things serial. We are committed to providing the best serial products. Our wide selection includes devices from USB to Serial and more.
The PCAN-USB-PRO FD adapter connects a USB port to CAN and LIN networks. Two CAN/LIN buses can be connected at the same time, with up to software four connections available using appropriate adapter cables (2 x CAN, 2 x LIN). The CAN USB PRO FD is housed in a robust aluminum casing making the PCAN-USB Pro FD adapter suitable for all types of applications.
Being part of the Internet of Things starts by getting your product connected to the internet. Getting connected is easy with High-Flying wireless modules from Grid Connect.
The NET232+CC is a serial to Ethernet device server, especially designed for use with equipment following the Cisco® RJ45 console port pinout. The NET232+CC provides remote access over Ethernet TCP/IP to routers, switches, servers, and other equipment that have a serial RJ45 console port or management port. Any Cisco equipment that uses the Cisco 72-3383-01 (DB-9 to RJ45) Console Cable can use the NET232+CC.
This is one of the toughest aspects of Internet of Things (IoT) product design right now. Today’s consumers and business owners expect multiple ways to access and control the world around them and options for connected devices are numerous.
Connect CAN FD and CAN networks to a computer via USB with the CAN USB FD adapter. A galvanic isolation of up to 500 Volts decouples the PC from the CAN bus. The simple handling and its compact plastic casing make the adapter suitable for mobile applications. The new CAN FD standard (CAN with Flexible Data Rate) is primarily characterized by higher bandwidth for data transfer. The maximum of 64 data bytes per CAN FD frame (instead of 8 so far) can be transmitted with bit rates up to 12 Mbit/s.
As more manufacturers enable their products for the IoT, consumers will be introduced to many different cloud applications due to lack of cooperation between difference devices and companies. This is where the emerging IoT standards can help.
Most IoT products use wireless technologies to connect with the world. The type and number of wireless technologies used will impact the type and number of antennas needed. For example, 900MHz, 2.4GHz and 5GHz radios all may have different requirements for antenna design.
Power considerations need to be made when connecting a product to the IoT. Products already using a wall outlet will not have an issue. Manufacturers of products not using a wall outlet will have to consider how their power source will affect their product’s design.
