2-channel CAN 2.0B USB converter unit. Supports up to 1 Mbps, 16-message FIFO buffers per channel, USB bus-powered operation, and wide-range power (10–32 VDC) for self-powered mode. Includes internal terminating resistors and Windows/Linux drivers.
The CAN-2-USB is a CAN/USB converter unit that expands CAN communication functionality to a PC via USB. It is compliant with CAN2.0B communication, supporting speeds up to 1 Mbps. Each channel is controlled by an individual CAN controller, allowing independent communication. The unit can be bus-powered via USB, eliminating the need for an external power supply in many applications.
Bus-powered or self-powered — The unit can be powered directly from the USB bus. For high-noise environments or when bus power is insufficient, an external 10–32 VDC power supply can be used.
The CAN-2-USB is built for industrial environments with a wide operating temperature range and high noise immunity. It supports SAE J2534 (Pass-Thru) and includes device drivers for Windows and Linux.
