A convenient solution for transmitting CAN bus messages in distributed systems

Reliable communication under high bus load and precise timestamps for CAN messages

Building on the success of the USB-CANmodul range, the USB-CANmodul16 combines up to 16 CAN channels in a single device. As a reliable and robust USB adapter, it is suitable for connecting CAN networks to Windows and Linux devices such as PCs, laptops and embedded controllers. Thanks to the transparent tunnelling of CAN messages, the module can be used with CAN-based high-layer protocols such as CANopen, SDS, DeviceNet or J1939 .

A high-performance 32-bit CPU core with an integrated message buffer ensures reliable communication even under high bus load and provides precise timestamps for the received CAN messages.

The PC driver allows for simple plug-&play installation and supports the simultaneous operation of up to 64 CAN channels on a single host. Via virtual networks, the driver enables the USB-CAN module to be used simultaneously by different applications.

Thanks to its attractive price-performance ratio and its reliable compact design, the USB-CAN module is ideally suited for CAN bus-based developments, service and maintenance tasks in CAN bus systems, as well as for use in mass-produced products. The included CAN monitoring software rounds off the package.

The USB-CAN module complies with the EMC Directive 2014/30/EU.
