USB対応 USB-compatible CAN 2.0B communication unit

The CAN-2-USB is a CAN/USB converter unit that connects to the USB port of a PC to enable CAN communication. The unit complies with CAN 2.0B communication standards and supports communication speeds of up to 1 Mbps. It includes a USB Type-C port and can operate using the bus power from the host. Support for the SAE J2534 protocol also allows for use as a communication interface during automobile maintenance diagnosis and ECU programming. An API for low-level data transmission/reception is also available, enabling usability as a CAN communication device during inspections of automotive parts and ECUs.

Main Features

  • CAN communication function

    The CAN-2-USB can expand the 2-channel CAN communication function to a PC. The unit complies with the CAN 2.0B communication standard and supports communication speeds of up to 1 Mbps. Each channel is controlled by a separate CAN controller, allowing for independent communication that is not dependent on the status of other channels.

  • Bus power operation with no need for an external power supply

    The communication unit uses USB bus power to operate, so no external power supply is necessary.
