Hello everyone,

I'm brand new here and I think this website is amazing!

I need your help!!!!!
I'm just starting my master's thesis. The exact topic is not yet fully defined, but it's going to be about connecting temperature sensors using a CAN bus network. If you have any ideas or recommendations regarding the task, I would be happy to hear them.

The goal of this thesis is to develop a prototype of a temperature sensor whose signals can be processed by a bus system. I will use the CANopen protocol for this bus system. This sensor should also possess a certain degree of 'intelligence.' By 'intelligent sensor,' I mean that the electronics within the sensor can perform more complex signal processing steps. This sensor is designed to process signals through...

o Calibration
o Scale
o Linearization using a polynomial.
o Temperature compensation
o Power supply voltage compensation.
Prepare data for transmission via a bus system.
Output measurement data on demand.
Output measurement values when limits are exceeded.
o Self-monitoring
realize.
The sensor is used in both plant and machinery engineering, as well as in railway vehicles.
It must be a precise thermometer with a wide measurement range. The temperature range is between -50 °C and +250 °C. The accuracy is of class A. To regulate data exchange on the bus, several sensors are connected in this experiment.
I would like to use a PT1000 as a temperature sensor.

Now I'm thinking about how I can implement this and what components I'll need for it.
'The topic of microcontrollers is quite new to me. I have some experience programming in C and assembly at the university of applied sciences, but not a lot.' I can say that I'm still a beginner.
Okay, I need a microcontroller with a CAN interface.

I think I will be working with ATMEL. I've already done some programming of ATMEL microcontrollers in the Keil mVision development environment. I'm considering the AT90CAN128.

On the page <!-- m --><a class='postlink' href='http://www.mikrocontroller.net/articles/CAN'></a>, I found more controllers.

What can you recommend to me? What else do I need for that?
Okay, AD converters, amplifiers, EEprom... what else?
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get started?
I would appreciate any advice or assistance you can offer.

Sincerely,

Eugen.<!-- m -->http://www.mikrocontroller.net/articles/CAN{MARKER}{MARKER}

This information is a bit late.
( =DA, possibly already submitted?)

Wilke Technology.
It offers microcontrollers called 'Basictiger' that feature an integrated CAN interface.
These are designed for industrial use.

-The advantage is that they can be programmed in a basic dialect, and standard routines are already available.
The initial setup is therefore quite straightforward, allowing you to focus on the essential aspects (functions).

Furthermore, they are capable of multitasking (e.g., for self-monitoring functions).
