Kvaser BlackBird v2 is a high performance wireless (WLAN – WiFi) communication link for the High Speed CAN bus. More powerful and versatile a WLAN solution than Kvaser’s original BlackBird, Kvaser BlackBird v2 incorporates a new radio chip with up to 75% better range. More onboard memory overcomes potential interruptions to the wireless connection due to the protocol itself or disturbance.
The BlackBird v2’s ability to leverage existing wireless infrastructure makes it ideal for replacing cumbersome cable, accessing hard-to-reach CAN networks, or for monitoring a CANbus while in motion. Based on radio chip that is Wi-Fi certified and meets CE and FCC standards, it works in both Ad Hoc and Infrastructure mode.
Kvaser BlackBird v2 offers user scripting possibility via T-scripts (C language). That allows the user to run real-time communication simulations directly on the device. The Blackbird v2’s API is “device agnostic” and can be used on a tablet, smartphone, or PC.
