The SYS TEC USB-CANmodul1 were designed to provide a low-cost CAN-bus interface solution for connecting the CAN-bus to the PC via USB. CAN messages are tunneled transparently and therefore support all kind of higher-layer CAN-based protocols, such as CANopen, SDS, DeviceNet or J1939. Its new 32-bit CPU core ensures reliable communication even at high busload, and provides precise message time stamps. The PC driver allows for easy plug&play installation and supports simultaneous operation of up to 64 USB-CANmodul devices on the same PC.

An extremely attractive price-performance ratio and the compact design make the USB-CANmodul1 ideal suited for CAN-bus based development, service and maintenance tasks, as well as use in high-volume serial products.
