The plug & play CL3000 WiFi CAN logger records CAN bus data to a 16 GB SD card and timestamps it with a real-time clock. The data can easily be transferred via WiFi/3G/4G to your cloud server.
This wireless CAN logger is ideal for telematics & vehicle fleet management (trucks, buses, harvesters, EVs, cars, …), prototype field testing, diagnostics or reverse engineering.
OUTLINES
Configure in 2 min. Power via CAN connector. Auto-detect bit-rate
Log CAN data to SD card for months - with no pc needed
Easily collect CAN data via 3 WiFi modes & web interface
Easily auto-transfer data from 100+ CL3000s to your cloud server
Poor connectivity? Don't worry: All data is saved via SD and sent later
Use WiFi transfer to avoid sending expensive staff for manual retrieval

USE CASES
The CL3000 is great for frequent users that want the WiFi convenience, higher data transfer speed and RTC syncing.
Need to monitor & optimize a vehicle fleet in near real-time?
The CL3000 provides a simple, low cost and zero fee alternative to existing telematics platforms. By combining the CL3000 with a cellular hotspot, you can auto-push your log files to your server from connected vehicles - e.g. for truck fleet management.
Need to monitor a fleet of forklifts in a warehouse?
For site managers or OEMs, the CL3000 can provide easy access to data from e.g. 50 forklifts in a warehouse - giving insights on e.g. optimizing battery management. In "constrained" areas like warehouses, the CL3000 units can often connect through a single hotspot, e.g. at a charging station.
Need to quickly troubleshoot industrial machinery?
In some cases you need to log data from assets that are difficult to reach. Here, the CL3000 AP mode is ideal as you can "log on" to the CL3000 like a WiFi hotspot. From here, you can access the contents of the SD card to e.g. download/delete data.
