USB to CAN Adapter
CANUSB is a very small dongle that plugs into any PC USB Port and gives an instant CAN connection. It can be treated by software as a standard COM Port (serial RS232 port) which eliminates the need for any extra drivers. Alternatively, by installing a direct driver DLL, faster communications and higher CAN bus loads can be achieved. Sending and receiving can be done in standard ASCII format.
Features
The module plugs directly into a standard USB port and provides a standard DB9 male output to CAN systems according to CiA (CAN in Automation) recommendations. It is self powered from the USB. It consumes max 100mA, but normally not more than 45mA (this depends on BUS load and eventual CAN cable errors etc.).
Use your own RS232 LIB/drivers (in e.g. Visual Basic, Deplhi, C++ etc.) together with the free Virtual COM port driver or use the free Direct driver DLL (see Download page for drivers). Works on Windows and Linux platorms.
It is easy to migrate from CAN232 to CANUSB with some small software changes.
Free Windows Threaded CANUSB API DLL, write applications in a snap.
