The USBcan Pro 4xCAN Silent, a compact, multichannel CAN/CAN FD to USB real-time interface that is always silent on the CAN bus (‘listen only’). This CAN interface is made silent through hardware and thus, cannot transmit on bus.
Standard CAN interfaces receive and transmit CAN messages, enabling them to be used to configure the system to which they are connected. However, certain customers, particularly those developing highly sensitive autonomous or safety-critical systems, require CAN interfaces capable of listening only, so that the interface has no impact on the bus or surrounding systems. Listen-only interfaces are also used to prevent any application or third-party, such as a hacker, from impacting the CANbus and its related systems through the Kvaser device.
Features include t programming and MagiSync™, which makes it possible to synchronize time stamps across multiple Kvaser MagiSync™-enabled devices without requiring extra wires.
- Multi-channel USB CAN interface with Kvaser t programmability.
-
Always silent – listens to the bus without interfering it.
- 20 000 msg/s per channel, each timestamped with a resolution of 1 μs.
- Kvaser MagiSync™ – automatic time synchronization.
- Supports CAN FD, up to 8 Mbit/s (with correct physical layer implementation).
- Supports both 11-bit (CAN 2.0A) and 29-bit (CAN 2.0B active) identifiers.
- High-speed CAN connection (compliant with ISO 11898-2), up to 1 Mbit/s.
- Industrial grade temperature range, −40 oC to +85 oC.
- Galvanic isolation.
-
Power is taken from the USB port.
- Fully compatible with J1939, CANopen, NMEA 2000® and DeviceNet.
- Simultaneous operation of multiple devices.
-
Quick and easy plug-and-play installation.
- Includes a 4-channel breakout cable.
