PCAN-USB XL Adapter

Provides a connection to CAN XL, CAN FD, and CAN CC busses via the USB port of your computer

(limited stock availability)

The PCAN-USB XL is delivered ready to use with Windows® and Linux drivers, the PCAN-View monitoring software, and the PCAN-Basic API for developing applications with CAN connection. PCAN-Basic 5 and PCAN-View 6 support the new standard CAN XL. Galvanic isolation of up to 500 Volts decouples the PC from the CAN bus. With its compact plastic casing, it is ideal for mobile applications.

CAN XL

CAN XL (Extended Data-Field Length) was designed to improve the cooperation of CAN and TCP/IP networks and to enable transmitting larger data streams for use cases such as ECU flashing and software updates. For this, the new standard provides bit rates of up to 20 Mbit/s and data transmission with up to 2048 bytes per message.
