PCAN-USB X6
Six CAN FD channels from one USB connection
PCAN-USB X6 puts six CAN FD or classic CAN channels on a single USB link. That makes it a natural fit for vehicle hardware-in-the-loop rigs and for end-of-line testing of CAN products, where many networks must be handled together.
The unit sits in an aluminum profile housing with mounting brackets and runs from an external 8 to 30 V supply. There are three versions: D-Sub connectors, D-Sub with 300 V isolation, or IP64-rated M12 circular connectors with 300 V isolation for harsh environments. Each channel has its own solder-jumper termination, and the controller measures bus load and can generate errors on demand.
Highlights
- 6 CAN FD channels over High-speed USB 2.0
- CAN FD up to 12 Mbit/s, ISO and Non-ISO switchable
- D-Sub or M12 (IP64) connector versions
- 300 V isolation on the isolated versions
- 1 µs time stamp resolution
- -40 to 85 C operating range
