Correct termination is essential for reliable CAN network performance. In a recent install on a Kenworth Truck J1939 network, the initial scope trace showed no data while the Senquip device reported CAN errors. After installing a 120 Ohm termination resistor at the Senquip device, full diagnostic data was restored.
CAN network termination is the key to a dependable J1939 communications.

After yesterdays post on the differences between RS232 and RS485, we have been asked a few times why RS485 is more noise immune. It is because RS485 uses a differential signalling method. Here’s how it works, and why it’s effective: 🔗 Differential Signalling in RS485: RS485 uses two wires to carry a pair of signals that …
RS232 and RS485 are standards for serial interfaces that each specify the transmission media and a defined set of logic levels, data rates and timings. These are some of the oldest serial interfaces around, yet they are still very widely used in control and measurement equipment, mainly due to their simplicity and low cost. RS232: …

This week started with yet more insolvencies in the Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) space. NNNCo, Australia’s LoRaWANnetwork operator entered voluntary liquidation on 15th November, and SimpleCell, theSigfox operator in the Czech Republic shut down. This follows dozens of other LoraWAN and Sigfox closures over the past 24 months. Interestingly, AT&T followed NT Docomo …
Senquip devices can power external sensors even when input power is disconnected. The QUAD can generate an output voltage from 5V to 25V, and the ORB 12V; both from the internal 3.7V backup battery. We are often asked how this is possible. Senquip uses a boost converter, also called a step-up converter, that converts a low …
Senquip devices that power external sensors can also actively monitor the supply voltage and current? 💡 If the supply voltage starts to drop, it may indicate that the supply is overloaded. 💡 A drop in current could point to a failing connection. 💡 A sudden current increase could indicate a short circuit. By simultaneously supplying …
This week I was interfacing an RFID card reader to a Senquip device, and I came across expressions in the manual like “inform type serial” – essentially meaningless. They made me think of the term “word salad”, a phrase used often in a recent election. I realised that without good instructions, a Senquip device is little more …
That’s a wrap for IMARC2024! We came ready to meet new customers, but what surprised us was how many existing customers stopped by just to say thank you. It was truly humbling—thank you!

In the world of automotive and heavy machinery, the terms CAN Bus and J1939 are often incorrectly interchanged. What exactly sets them apart? 📞 CAN Bus (Controller Area Network): Think of CAN Bus as the telephone system that connects different parts of a vehicle. It’s the physical wires and the way in which messages are communicated, …
The 4–20 mA convention was born in the 1950s out of the earlier highly successful 3–15 psi pneumatic control signal standard which had the same features of being able to power some remote devices and have a “live” zero. With the advent of faster, networkable protocols, why has a 1950s protocol persisted? 🔌 In so …

One of our very first customers used a Senquip ORB to detect movement in bridges. The application was solar powered and required a sensor that needed 5V power. The ORB can produce 12V at night by boosting the internal backup battery, but the customer had to use an external 12V to 5V converter which was frustrating. When …

One of the questions we are most asked is “how can I power a sensor overnight in a solar installation?” Senquip devices have an integrated LiPo battery that is charged during sunlight hours so that it can power connected devices through the night. On the Senquip ORB, the voltage is fixed at 12V and on the …
Did you know that Senquip devices can communicate with each other over large distances? One Senquip device can request and receive data from another device.
