PCAN-Router

Universal CAN converter

The PCAN-Router is a module with two CAN channels, whose data traffic is processed by a programmable microcontroller, so that incoming CAN messages can be evaluated, converted, and filtered individually, in order to transmit appropriately customized CAN messages to the other network.

You can transfer firmware you have created yourself to the module via CAN by means of the boot loader which is already implemented. The PCAN-Router is shipped with demonstration firmware which performs one-to-one forwarding of the CAN messages between the two CAN channels at 500 kbit/s. The corresponding source code is contained on the CD-ROM included.

The module is installed in an sectional aluminum casing, and is shipped in versions with two Sub-D connectors, or a screw-terminal strip.

An additional LIN channel for the PCAN-Router is also available on request.

Scope of supply
  • PCAN-Router module in sectional aluminum casing
  • CD-ROM with documentation, MS Windows software (C- or C++ compiler, flash-update program), and demonstration project

The following prerequisites are necessary in order to use the PCAN-Router properly:

  • For transferring the firmware via CAN, you need a CAN adapter of the PCAN series (such as the PCAN-USB) for connecting to your computer.
