HAWE Hydraulik has introduced CANpal, an interface that enables wireless access to mobile control blocks via Wi-Fi using a smartphone or tablet. The solution simplifies diagnostics, parameter adjustment, and commissioning of CAN-controlled valve systems in mobile machinery — both in the workshop and in the field.
Wireless Service and Remote Parameter Adjustment
CANpal is a handheld service tool developed specifically for PSL-CAN valve control blocks with integrated CAN control. Thanks to an integrated wireless module and built-in web server, technicians can easily connect to control units via Wi-Fi — without installing a dedicated app. The interface is accessed directly through a web browser with an intuitive and user-friendly design.
This makes it possible to:
-
Read settings and adjust parameters directly from a mobile device
-
Perform diagnostics and maintenance independently of the machine’s engine status
-
Work efficiently both in the workshop and in the field
All of this contributes to shorter service and commissioning times.
Robust and Globally Flexible
CANpal is designed to be compatible with common connector types such as DT, AMP, and AMS, making it suitable for global applications. The unit has its own power supply via standard batteries or rechargeable batteries and features a robust 7-inch touchscreen designed for demanding working environments.
A Tool for the Future of Mobile Hydraulics
The flexibility of CANpal creates new opportunities to improve both service processes and machine optimization. Technicians can access control block data from virtually anywhere, eliminating unnecessary travel and enabling faster response to operational issues. This is particularly valuable for manufacturers and operators of mobile machinery, where uptime and service efficiency are critical.
Summary
With CANpal, HAWE Hydraulik takes a step toward more user-friendly hydraulic systems, where wireless connectivity, mobile access, and intuitive commissioning play a central role in improving service, troubleshooting, and operational reliability.
