PCAN-Router DR
Programmable two-channel CAN router on a DIN rail, with 5 kV isolation
PCAN-Router DR has two High-speed CAN channels and, out of the box, forwards all traffic 1:1 in both directions between them. You set the bit rate with a rotary switch on the front. Its DIN rail casing and wide temperature range make it a fit for control cabinets.
CAN 1 is isolated up to 5 kV from the rest of the device, in line with IEC 60601-1, and the other ports are isolated by at least 500 V. Like the aluminium-cased PCAN-Router, it is freely programmable: a development package with GCC and examples is included, and firmware is loaded over CAN.
Highlights
- Two High-speed CAN channels, 5 kbit/s to 1 Mbit/s
- Bit rate set by rotary switch
- CAN 1 isolated up to 5 kV (IEC 60601-1)
- Freely programmable, NXP LPC21 ARM microcontroller
- Switchable termination per channel
- DIN rail, 22.5 mm wide, -40 to 85 C
Software
- Windows development package with GCC ARM Embedded and programming examples
- PEAK-Flash for Windows 11 (x64/ARM64) and 10 (x64)
- Loading firmware over CAN needs a PEAK CAN interface

The same function in an aluminium casing is the PCAN-Router; for CAN FD, see the PCAN-Router FD. A PCAN-USB loads the firmware.
