for an instant CAN bus to USB connection.Īlternatively, you can use the DLL package or VB6 ActiveX control to access the CANUSB directly, You can use the free virtual COM portĪnd your existing RS232/COM port software in Delphi, Visual Basic, C++ etc. The CAN USB operates on all Windows and Linux platforms. Normal current consumption is less than 45mA, but this can depend on CAN cable errors, CAN bus load etc.
This USB to CAN bus interface conforms with CiA (CAN in Automation) recommendations, so its maximum current consumption is 100mA. As the CANUSB draws its power from the USB bus, no external power supply is required. Just plug the CAN bus USB interface into a standard USB port and it gives a USB to CAN DB9 male output to your CAN network. The function of the CANUSB is exactly the same as older versions in this case. The design of the CANUSB enclosure has changed and CANUSB now uses new enclosure. The free sample programs allow you to start seeing and transmitting CAN messages immediately using your PC USB port, without having to write any code! Installing the DLL package with its direct drivers gives higher CAN bus loads and faster communications, and we have made it surprising easy to do.
Using a COM port means that no drivers have to be installed, and existing serial port software can be used without changes. CAN data is sent and received from your CAN bus network using standard ASCII format, either through a standard COM port or by using the DLL. Need to connect your CAN bus network to a PC? Just plug the compact and tough CANUSB into any PC USB Port and you have an instant USB CAN bus interface.
