PCAN-Router
A dual-channel CAN module you program in C or C++
PCAN-Router sits between two classic CAN buses and does whatever its firmware tells it: pass messages through, filter them, change their content, or evaluate them. It is built around an NXP LPC21 series microcontroller (16/32-bit ARM) and comes in an aluminium profile casing, with two D-Sub connectors or a single screw-terminal strip.
Out of the box it runs a standard firmware that forwards every message unchanged between the two channels at 500 kbit/s, and the source of that firmware is supplied as a starting point. Your own firmware is written with the Windows development package (GCC ARM Embedded plus examples) and loaded into the module over CAN with PEAK-Flash.
Highlights
- 2 High-speed CAN channels, 40 kbit/s to 1 Mbit/s
- Freely programmable, NXP LPC21 (ARM) microcontroller
- Standard firmware with 1:1 forwarding, source included
- Firmware upload over CAN
- D-Sub, screw-terminal or opto-decoupled versions
- 8 to 30 V supply, -40 to 85 C
Versions
- IPEH-002210: PCAN-Router with D-Sub connectors
- IPEH-002210-P: PCAN-Router with Phoenix screw-terminal connector
- IPEH-002211: PCAN-Router with D-Sub connectors, opto-decoupled (galvanic isolation on CAN 2)
Software
- Standard firmware installed on delivery, source code included
- 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
