CAN, CAN FD, CAN XL and EtherCAT
Hands-on networking expertise for automotive, EV, industrial automation and robotics teams.
-
Network architecture
Choosing between CAN, CAN FD, CAN XL and EtherCAT for each part of a system, and planning bus loads, topology and timing.
-
Tools and components
Help selecting interfaces, loggers, analysers, protocol stacks, transceivers and drives that fit your design and budget.
-
Bring-up and troubleshooting
Getting a new bus talking, and finding the cause when frames go missing, errors climb or timing drifts.
-
Local technical support
First-line support in Bengaluru for the products we represent, with the manufacturer's own engineers behind us.
-
Team training
Practical sessions on CAN FD, CAN XL, CANopen, J1939 and EtherCAT, built around your own hardware.
Related engineering
Work close to the lines above, taken on when our experience fits the problem.
-
Embedded systems
Architecture and design reviews for embedded products, from processor choice to software structure.
-
Industrial automation
Advice on controllers, fieldbuses and motion systems for machine builders and plant engineering teams.
Ways to work together
Fixed-scope review
A defined piece of work with a written report and a prioritised plan. A good first step when you need to know where you stand.
Monthly retainer
A set number of days each month for fractional CTO duties or ongoing consulting, adjusted as your needs change.
Embedded with your team
Full-time involvement through a critical phase such as a platform decision, a product launch or a recovery.
Not sure which of these you need?
Most engagements start with a one-hour conversation. You'll come away with a clearer picture whether or not we work together.
