Vehicle CAN bus is the richest signal stream on a fleet — and the hardest to make useful. iMatrix decodes J1939, CANopen, and raw CAN at the edge with FC-501, generates DBC databases with Wayne AI, and correlates every fault with the cabin and cargo conditions around it.
Two physical CAN ports on FC-501 — read OEM J1939 traffic and your own CANopen network simultaneously without contention.
Upload a DBC file; iMatrix CAN Management auto-generates the embedded code so the gateway publishes signals — not raw frames — to the cloud.
NEO-1 and Sentry-1 add cabin temperature, humidity, and door state alongside CAN signals. "Was the engine bay 60 °C when this DTC fired?" — answered.
CAN tells you what the vehicle thinks is happening. Environmental sensors tell you what was happening around it. Together, they explain the events that look anomalous on the bus alone.
Two CAN ports running J1939, CANopen, or raw simultaneously. RS-232 serial port for legacy ECUs. Embedded DBC decoder runs on-device — no raw frame uplink, no cellular waste.
Wireless temperature, humidity, and dew-point sensor inside the cab or engine bay. Reports over BLE to the FC-501. Gives you ambient context the CAN bus doesn't carry.
Magnetic sensor on hood, electrical panel, or service hatch. Fires a tamper event when someone opens what they shouldn't — correlated to live CAN diagnostics in the same Cloud record.
The painful part of CAN integration is the embedded code that converts raw frames into signals. Wayne AI generates it — and iMatrix Cloud knows how to display every field automatically.
Use the iMatrix DBC editor (or import an OEM-supplied .dbc). Wayne AI suggests signal mappings from prior fleets and auto-flags physical-range conflicts before deployment.
Embedded firmware compiled from the DBC runs on FC-501. Only decoded, named signals are uplinked — keeping cellular usage low and the cloud schema clean.
NEO-1 and Sentry-1 events arrive on the same timeline. "DTC + bay temperature + hood-open" becomes a single root-cause record instead of three disconnected logs.
340× faster than manual analysis. Wayne surfaces failure modes — "low fuel pressure clusters with high ambient temp on this engine model" — without you writing the query.
Engine, transmission, after-treatment SPNs decoded live. DTC alerts fire to the maintenance queue with ambient context.
Construction, agriculture, mining. iMatrix decodes proprietary OEM DBCs — no source code from the OEM required.
Battery pack SOC, cell voltages, and thermal events. NEO-1 inside the pack adds independent ambient verification.
