PCAN-MiniDiag FD

SKU #: IPEH-003070

The PCAN-MiniDiag FD is a compact, low-cost handheld device for basic diagnosis and monitoring of Classic CAN and CAN FD buses. Service technicians and developers can easily access networks of vehicles, machines, or industrial equipment whose configuration is unknown. To accomplish this, the nominal bit rate for Classic CAN and the data bit rate for CAN FD are determined using bit timing measurement. The device also measures the termination, bus load, and voltage levels at the CAN connector.

The PCAN-MiniDiag FD has advanced IP42 ingress protection due to its membrane keypad and casing. The power is supplied by three replaceable batteries.

The new CAN FD standard (CAN with Flexible Data rate) is primarily characterized by higher bandwidth for data transfer. The maximum of 64 data bytes per CAN FD frame (instead of 8 so far) can be transmitted with bit rates up to 12 Mbit/s. CAN FD is downward-compatible to the CAN 2.0 A/B standard, thus CAN FD nodes can be used in existing CAN networks. However, in this case the CAN FD extensions are not applicable.
