High-Speed USB 2.0 to CAN-/LIN-Interface

PEAK-System Technik offers the PCAN-USB Pro as a new module of the USB adapter series. It is a High-speed USB adapter with two D-Sub connectors for connecting a computer to CAN and LIN networks. Two field busses can be connected at the same time, with up to four connections available using appropriate adapter cables (2 x CAN, 2 x LIN).

The Apapter is supplied with power via the USB connection. With jumpers a 5-volt supply can be engaged on pin 1 of the CAN ports. The High-speed CAN channels comply with ISO 11898-2 with a maximum transfer rate of 1 Mbit/s. CAN specifications 2.0A and 2.0B are fulfilled. Each CAN channel is separately opto-decoupled against USB and LIN.

LIN specification 2.1 is fulfilled with a LIN transfer rate of 1 kbits/s to 20 kbit/s. The adapter can be used as a LIN Master or Slave. Both LIN channels (common ground) are opto-decoupled against CAN and USB.

The access to the CAN/LIN interface is done via unified APIs for all CAN and LIN interfaces from PEAK-System.
