PCAN-RS-232
Legacy programmable CAN to RS-232 converter
PCAN-RS-232 links a High-speed CAN bus with a serial RS-232 device. Its NXP LPC21 series microcontroller (16/32-bit ARM) runs a standard firmware that passes data both ways, and both the transfer and the hardware are set up with serial commands.
The module is also freely programmable: firmware written in C or C++ with the supplied GCC-based package is loaded over CAN. PEAK no longer builds it. Remaining units may be available on request, and new designs should use the PCAN-RS-232 FD.
