PCAN-Diag FD: Handheld CAN/CAN FD Bus Diagnostics

PCAN-Diag FD:
Handheld CAN/CAN FD Bus Diagnostics

PCAN-Diag FD is a handheld diagnostic tool for CAN bus communication diagnostics. CAN2.0 and CAN FD messages can be diagnosed on a protocol level, and physical layer tests can be performed using the oscilloscope function and the measurement function. The oscilloscope function is used for quality assessment of signal curves on the CAN bus, CAN_H and CAN_L are sampled using separate measurement channels at 100 MHz, and based on the acquired signal curves, PCAN-Diag FD can decode the CAN messages and graphically display the message information.

Function Overview:

  • At the protocol level, the CAN message communication data stream display list can also be loaded with database (e.g. dbc, sym) files to parse hexadecimal messages into specific physical quantities, such as temperature, speed, pressure, etc.
  • For further analysis, the Tracer Logging function records CAN messages. PCAN-Diag FD sends CAN messages, either as a single message or as a sequence of messages to the CAN bus; in addition, the recorded CAN messages are also returned to the bus via PCAN-Diag FD. All protocol level functions are available for CAN2.0 and CAN FD.
  • The main feature of the new CAN FD standard (CAN with Flexible Data Rate) is the higher data transmission bandwidth. Each CAN FD frame can contain up to 64 data bytes (instead of the current 8 bits) and can be transmitted at a bit rate of up to 12 Mbit/s. CAN FD is backward compatible with the CAN 2.0 A/B standard. The PCAN-Diag FD has one pushbutton and four function keys for simple operation. The device can be powered externally or by the internal battery, which is automatically charged when external power is supplied. The charging process can be accelerated by using the optional charging method.
