USB-to-CAN II

Intelligent CAN/LIN Interface
for the USB Port


This active interface offers two CAN channels and one LIN channel (automotive version) for connection to the USB bus.

With its powerful 16-bit microcontroller system, the interface allows filtering, pre-processing and saving of received messages. Transmission and reception processes can be controlled loss-free even with a high transmission rate and bus load.

Together with the universal CAN driver VCI also supplied with the delivery, the USB-to-CAN II module allows for the simple integration of PC-supported applications into CAN systems. In conjunction with the canAnalyser from IXXAT, USB-to-CAN II is a convenient, mobile analysis and development tool. The interface can also be used as a master assembly, e.g., for CANopen systems with many subscribers.
