NMEA 2000 Data Logger for Engine Diagnostics

What problem did you solve?

We need to solve two primary challenges with the CANedge1 in our NMEA 2000 networks:

First, we use the CAN bus data logger to assist us in remote diagnostics. Essentially, when we are unable to get a qualified technician on-site, we can instead send the data logger to the vessel to make recordings. The resulting log files can then be sent back to the engineering team for analysis. This is only possible because the device is standalone and easy to install.

Second, we use the data loggers to capture difficult-to-obtain data. There are occasionally instances where an intermittent issue persists, yet it’s practically impossible for the technician to replicate it. With the CANedge1, we can instead simply connect the data logger to the vessel. The data logger can record for days or weeks until the issue occurs again – and when it does, the data logger is there to record the conditions for analysis.
