PCAN-USB Pro FD
The CAN FD adapter PCAN-USB FD connects CAN FD and CAN networks to a computer via USB. It provides electrical isolation of up to 500V, separating the PC from the CAN bus. Its compact plastic casing and portability make it ideal for mobile applications.
The new CAN FD standard (CAN with Flexible Data Rate) primarily features increased data transmission bandwidth. Each CAN FD frame can accommodate a maximum of 64 data bits (as opposed to the current 8 bits) and can be transmitted at speeds of up to 12 Mbit/s. CAN FD is backward compatible with CAN 2.0 A/B standards, allowing CAN FD nodes to be used in existing CAN networks. However, CAN FD extensions are not available in such cases.
The included Windows software, PCAN-View, is a user-friendly CAN monitor for transmitting, receiving, and logging CAN messages. The current version of the program supports the new CAN FD standard.
Advantages
Key Specifications
- The adapter is for high-speed USB 2.0 (compatible with USB 1.1 and USB 3.0).
- Transmission and reception of CAN FD and LIN messages use two D-Sub connectors (both allocated for CAN FD and LIN buses).
- Timestamp resolution of 1μs.
- 5V power on the D-Sub connector can be established via solder jumpers, for example, for external bus converters.
- Powered through USB.
- Extended operating temperature range from -40 to 85°C (-40 to 185°F).
CAN Operating Characteristics
- Complies with CAN standards 2.0 A/B and FD.
- CAN FD supports switching between ISO and Non-ISO standards.
- CAN FD bit rate for the data domain (64 bit max.) from 25 kbit/s up to 12 Mbit/s
- CAN bit rates from 25 kbit/s up to 1 Mbit/s
- FPGA implementation of a CAN FD controller
- NXP TJA1044GT CAN transceiver.
- Independent optical decoupling of USB and LIN per CAN FD channel, 500 V max.
- CAN terminals can be activated by soldering jumpers to separate them from each CAN channel.
- Bus load measurement including error frames and overloaded frames on the physical bus.
- Triggered Error Generation function for incoming and outgoing CAN messages
LIN Operating Characteristics
- Bit rate from 1 kbit/s up to 20 kbit/s

Free Software PCAN-Basic Programming Interface Introduction
Model: PCAN-USB Pro FD
Order number: IPEH-004061
Optional accessories:
- DB9-OBD-II, can directly connect the CAN end to the OBD port of the car, two meters long;
- Line Y cable, dividing the DB9 end in two, 0.5 m long.
The PCAN-BASIC API (Application Program Interface) is an application program interface for the secondary development of the PCAN hardware interface family. It allows the development of simple CAN applications to implement communication with our PCAN-PC hardware. The API includes the actual device driver and a DLL (dynamic link library) that provides an interface to the API functions.
PCAN-Basic provides developers with a variety of functions for a variety of environments, including C#, C++/CLR, Delphi, VB.NET, Java, and Python 3.x, with routines for these environments in the development kit.
Regarding LabView, we do not have a free LabView driver VI, customers can buy from us, or write their own LabView drivers according to DLL.
PCAN-Basic for Linux: Supports Linux (32/64-bit), can use C++ and Python 3.x.
Features:
- Support for Windows 11 (64-bit), 10 (32/64-bit), and Linux (32/64-bit)
- Multiple PEAK and your own applications CAN run simultaneously on a single physical CAN channel
- A single DLL supports all hardware types
- Up to 8 channels CAN be used per hardware unit (depending on PEAK CAN interface used)
- PCAN PC hardware channels can be easily switched between
- Each CAN channel has an internal drive buffer of 32,768 messages
- Time accuracy of receiving messages up to 1μs (depending on PCAN interface used)
- Some hardware parameters can be accessed, such as listen only mode
- Notification that a message has been received via Windows Events
- An extended system is available for debugging operations
- Language support includes German, English, French, Spanish and Italian
- The output language depends on the operating system
- You can customize debugging information

CAN Interface Card FAQ
Technical support and paid services to drive your project to the limit.
HONGKE's PCAN interface card series has undergone rigorous testing and has been continuously stabilized for more than 3,000 hours, maintaining a stable connection without dropping frames.
Its hardware design has good anti-interference ability and with perfect error handling mechanism, it can maintain reliable communication during long time and high load tasks such as ECU software flashing and data calibration, and avoid flashing failure or data error due to tool problem.
We recommend the use of multi-channel high-performance CAN adapters such as PCAN-USB X6 maybe PCAN-PCIe FD Series.
These products support CAN FD baud rates up to 12 Mbps and provide up to 4 or 6 independent channels for high-speed synchronized data acquisition and recording on multiple CAN FD networks such as radars, cameras, domain controllers, etc., making them ideal tools for ADAS data recording and testing.
For harsh electromagnetic environments, we offer USB CAN adapters with galvanic isolation.
Electrical isolation protects the host computer and CAN network equipment by effectively blocking common mode interference from ground loops and suppressing surges and spikes.
Stable and reliable communication is maintained even in the environment of vehicle electrical systems or high-power laboratory equipment.
Can. Avision provides a unified and free PCAN-Basic API with native support for C++, C#, VB, .NET, Python, Java.
At the same time, the hardware can also use official or third-party interfaces in LabVIEW, MATLAB / Simulink, Qt and other environments, so that teams can develop and integrate in a familiar development environment.
Avision PCAN adapters provide microsecond time stamp resolution.
In multi-channel or cross-device synchronization scenarios, the hardware and drivers support a global time synchronization mechanism that ensures a consistent and accurate time base for all channels.
This is very important for analyzing communication timing across ECUs, locating incidental faults, and analyzing network delays, which can provide reliable data support for whole-vehicle network testing.
