aid of configuration software. Then for instance the
module acting as the LIN master can request data and
route the incoming LIN data to the CAN bus and/or the
serial interface. Data can be routed between CAN and
LIN with an ID offset.

PCAN-MIO
Universal Controller for CAN Applications

The Multiple Input Output module (MIO) is a universal,

modular controller for use both in the industrial and
automotive fields.

The module has two CAN interfaces as well as multiple

analog and digital inputs and outputs. Incoming
signals can be processed by the microcontroller
and then forwarded to the CAN interfaces or output
channels. For this purpose, the behaviour of the
PCAN-MIO module can be freely configured using a
comprehensive Windows software. A large number of
function blocks and other settings are available to help
the user in creating such a configuration.

A bus structure also enables expansion of the number

of inputs and outputs with additional modules.
Customer-specific requirements can be implemented
in doing so.

PCAN-Router
Universal CAN Converter

The PCAN-Router is a dual channel CAN module whose

NXP LPC21 series programmable microcontroller
provides the option of using the CAN messages on
both channels on a flexible basis. This gives a whole
range of options for configuration, manipulation,
evaluation, filtering, and routing of CAN messages.

The WinARM software provided (contains the GNU

Compiler Collection (GCC) for C and C++) can be used
to produce your own firmware and then transfer it to
the module via CAN. The PCAN-Router is shipped with
demonstration firmware which performs one-to-one
forwarding of the CAN messages between the two
CAN channels at 500 kbit/s. The corresponding source
code is included.

The module is installed in an sectional aluminum

casing, and is shipped in versions with two D-Sub
connectors or a screw-terminal strip.

PCAN-Router Pro
4-Channel CAN Router with Data Logger

The PCAN-Router Pro allows the data traffic from up to

four High-speed CAN busses to be connected together.

As well as pure forwarding, the CAN data can be

processed, manipulated, and for example filtered in a
number of different ways. To do this, the behaviour of
the PCAN-Router Pro can be freely configured using
comprehensive Windows software. There are a variety
of function blocks and other settings available to the
user to allow this kind of configuration to be set up.
At the same time, there is a virtual fifth CAN channel
which is responsible for recording all the data traffic to
a CompactFlash card.

Added to this, the modular bus structure allows

PCAN-Basic
CAN Software API for Windows

The PCAN-Basic API (application programming

interface) enables easy development of powerful
software with CAN support. It includes all of the
functions that a application needs in order to
communicate with PCAN PC hardware. The cross-
operation system design makes it possible to easily
port software projects between platforms.

PCAN-Basic consists of the actual device driver and an

interface DLL, which provides the API functions.

As the successor to PCAN-Light, PCAN-Basic offers

increased functionality and extended language
support. It provides various functions for developers
under C++, C#, C++/CLR, Delphi, VB.NET, Java, and

PCAN-View
Windows Compatible Software for Displaying CAN Messages

The software PCAN-View for Windows is a simple

CAN monitor for viewing, sending, and recording
CAN data traffic. Messages can be sent manually and
periodically at a user-determined bit rate of up to
1 Mbit/s. Bus system errors and memory overflows
in the CAN hardware being controlled are displayed
during the process. The trace function can be used to
record and save CAN data traffic.

PCAN-View is supplied with every PCAN PC hardware

product and enables a fast and simple initial hardware
operation. All available PEAK CAN interfaces are listed
in the connection dialog. After selecting the hardware
and the bit rate, the user can access all the software
functions, hardware-specific settings, and information.

PCAN Symbol Editor

Windows Software for Creating and Editing Symbol Files

The symbol format developed by PEAK-System

translates the hexadecimal display used for CAN data
traffic into a format that the user can understand.

To create a symbol, names are first assigned to

the individual CAN IDs. The interpretation and
presentation of CAN data is defined using variables
with various parameters, such as name and output
format. The symbol created in this manner enables
easy allocation of incoming and outgoing CAN
messages and ensures that the CAN data is readable.

The free PCAN Symbol Editor uses clearly structured

menus and a graphical representation of symbols to
enable convenient creation and editing of symbol files.

Features

CAN Termination Adapter & T-Adapter for CAN Tapping

The PCAN-Term adapter terminates a High-speed CAN The PCAN-T-Adapter creates a tap connection to the
bus (ISO 11898-2) at one end. It is used if a CAN node data cables and the ground within a CAN bus in order
is connected without internal termination or no CAN to be able to connect a CAN node. In this case, the
node is connected. CAN node is not terminated.
