PCAN-RS-232
Programmable Converter for RS-232 to CAN
PCAN-RS-232 is a programmable module for the communication between RS-232 and CAN. The conversion of data traffic is done via a NXP LPC21 series microcontroller.
The library and WinARM software provided (contains the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) for C and C++) can be used to produce your own firmware and then transfer it to the module via CAN. This gives a whole range of options for manipulation, evaluation, filtering, and routing of the data traffic.
On delivery the PCAN-RS-232 is provided with a demo firmware that routes from CAN to RS-232 and vice versa. It allows to configure the data transfer as well as the hardware with serial control commands. The corresponding source code is included.
