PCAN-USB Pro

CAN and LIN Interface for High-Speed USB 2.0

The product is no longer manufactured!

Alternatively, the PCAN-USB Pro FD can be used, since it behaves identically concerning the CAN and LIN functionality.


The PCAN-USB Pro adapter enables simple connection of a PC to CAN and LIN networks. Two field buses can be connected at the same time, with up to four connections available using appropriate adapter cables (2 x CAN, 2 x LIN). Its robust aluminum casing makes the PCAN-USB Pro adapter suitable for mobile applications.

The monitor applications PCAN-View and PLIN-View Pro as well as the PCAN-Basic and PLIN programming interfaces are also included in the scope of supply.
