Best Practices for Integrating MES with ECU via CAN Bus: Seeking Gateway Recommendations

Hello,

I am involved in a project requiring integration between our MES system and an ECU, where the primary communication challenge is interfacing via CAN Bus. Our objective is to supply test criteria to the ECU and capture the results directly into the MES system VIA KEPServerEX 6.

Given our constraints, we are considering using gateways that can convert CAN Bus protocols (CAN 2.0a/b and CAN/J1939) to more common protocols like TCP, UDP, or OPC UA. I am concerned about the reliability of these gateways, especially since many are from lesser-known vendors with limited reviews.

Does anyone have experience with such setups, particularly with CAN/J1939 to TCP or UDP conversions? Are there specific gateway brands or models you would recommend? Additionally, there are mentions of MODBUS to CAN Bus conversions in some threads, but details are scarce. Can anyone shed more light on this option?

Any insights, experiences, or recommendations on gateway configurations and best practices would be greatly appreciated to ensure reliable communication with our ECU.

Thank you!
