PCAN-USB opto-decoupled
Galvanically isolated USB to CAN adapter, up to 500 V
The opto-decoupled PCAN-USB is the isolated member of the PCAN-USB family. It separates the CAN connection from the computer by up to 500 V, which protects the laptop or test PC when ground potentials differ, as they often do around vehicles, machines and power electronics.
Apart from the isolation it works like the standard PCAN-USB. It connects to classic High-speed CAN at up to 1 Mbit/s, draws its power from USB and comes in a compact plastic housing. It uses the same drivers, PCAN-View monitor and PCAN-Basic API, so moving existing applications over takes no extra work.
Highlights
- Galvanic isolation up to 500 V on the CAN connection
- High-speed CAN (ISO 11898-2), CAN 2.0 A and 2.0 B
- Bit rates from 5 kbit/s to 1 Mbit/s
- Powered over USB
- Same software as the standard PCAN-USB
- -40 to 85 C operating range
