PCAN-USB Pro

CAN and LIN Interface for High-Speed USB 2.0

REGARD!

The product is no longer manufactured!

Note: 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.

  • Compliant with CAN specifications 2.0A (11-bit ID) and 2.0B (29-bit ID)
  • MAX3057ASA CAN transceiver
  • Each CAN channel is separately opto-decoupled against USB and LIN up to 500 V
  • Measurement of bus load including error frames and overload frames
  • Induced error generation for incoming and outgoing CAN messages

LIN operation properties:

  • Bit rates from 1 kbit/s up to 20 kbit/s
  • AMIS-30600 LIN transceiver
  • Both LIN channels (common Ground) are opto-decoupled against USB and CAN
  • Can be used as a LIN master or slave (1 ms master task resolution)
  • Automatic baud rate, frame length, and checksum type recognition
  • Autonomous scheduler with support for unconditional, event, and sporadic frames
  • Hardware can work through a schedule table (up to 8 schedule tables can be configured with a total of 256 slots)
