Smart access to CAN field bus with LUA scripting language
Analytica GmbH manufactures and markets CAN-Ethernet-Gateways which feature individual access to CAN field bus by the standard network interface of a personal computer. Access to the CAN bus is usually done by an existing programming interface (API) which can be used in self-created application programs.
LUA is quick, reliable and most importantly a compact programming language, which is especially suitable for use on embedded systems (see http://www.lua.org).
The individual models AnaGate CAN uno, AnaGate CAN duo, AnaGate CAN quattro and of course the new AnaGate CAN USB take advantage of this particularly interesting LUA feature: via the browser interface of the gateway hardware script files can be uploaded and locally executed on the device itself.
