PCAN-USB Information on PEAK USB interfaces and software 1.6MBytes  

CAN USB Interfaces

  PCAN-Explorer leaflet 3.8Mbyte PCAN-Explorer

The PCAN-USB range of interfaces provide simple and cost-effective connections between PCs and CAN-networks. 

        The small PCAN-USB single channel converter is ideal for use with PCs laptops or notebooks.
        The PCAN-USB Pro provides up to 2 channels of CAN + 2 channels of LIN
        And the Hub gives 1 CAN, 2 RS232 + 2 USB ports

All these CAN interfaces support both 11 bit ID and  29 bit ID CAN specifications with a maximum speed of 1MBaud.  The CAN-bus connection is via a 9-pin SUB-D plug, whose pin assignments conform to the CiA recommendation.  No termination is included in the interface. The PCAN-USB is available with or without Opto-isolation

Free software
The PCAN-Basic software package is included to drive the USB modules from within 32 and 64 bit versions of  W7, XP, Vista, CE (ARM & x86), Linux.  It provides simple interfaces to C++, C#, C++/CLR, Delphi, VB, .NET,Java and Python 2.6.  The PCAN-View package is a useful Windows diagnostic program that displays and logs all messages on the bus as well as allowing manual creation of test messages. 

Also Available
Are a set of drives for time critical multi-threaded applications and the PCAN- Explorer package that provides advanced CAN bus diagnostics, reporting and control capabilities. Explorer supports J1939 and there is a PCAN-FMS package to operate with that standard.

PCAN-USB  Pro      Dual CAN, Dual LIN

IPEH-002061
PCAN USB dual CAN LIN Interface

Up to four connections are available, using appropriate adapter cables (2 x CAN, 2 x LIN).  Its robust aluminium casing makes the PCAN-USB Pro adapter suitable for mobile applications.

Time stamp resolution 1 μs

Extended operating temperature range -40 to 85 °C

Each CAN and LIN channel is separately opto-decoupled against USB and the other buses

Autonomous LIN scheduler with support for unconditional, event, and sporadic frames that can also work through multiple schedule tables

PCAN-Basic & PLIN-Basic APIs, Drivers as above, PCAN-View  and PLIN-View CAN and LIN Monitors included


PCAN-USB  Hub     CAN, Dual 232, Dual USB

IPEH-002004
PCAN USB Hub with CAN, 2* RS232, 2* USB ports

The PCAN-USB Hub offers the user one CAN, two RS-232, and two further USB interfaces.  Its robust aluminium casing makes the PCAN-USB Hub suitable for mobile applications.

Two High-speed USB 2.0 downstream ports

Passive (bus-powered) hub operation through the USB port of a PC enables power consumption of up to 100 mA per USB channel or Active (self-powered) hub operation through the optional external hub power supply (9 – 36 V) enables power consumption of up to 500 mA per USB channel

Guaranteed high bit rates on all channels if a USB Full-speed device is connected, thanks to a hub controller with 4 transaction translator

CAN time stamp resolution approx. 42 μs

Extended operating temperature range from -40 to 85 °C

PCAN-Basic APIs, Drivers as above and PCAN-View CAN Monitor included
