SYS TEC USB-CANmodul16

SKU #: SYS-3404001

Based on the successful SYS TEC USB-CANmodul designs, the USB-CANmodul16 bundles 16 high-speed CAN channels in one device, connected to the PC via two high-speed USB2.0 interfaces with up to 480Mbps transfer rate. This USB-CAN Interface allows a most comfortable, yet cost efficient way to transfer CAN-bus messages in distributed systems that require a centralized data collection, like used in automotive applications, research institutes or laboratories.

The USB-CANmodul16 supports various types of higher-layer CAN-based protocols including CANopen, SDS, DeviceNet or J1939. Its new 32-bit CPU core ensures reliable communication even at high busload, and provides precise message time stamps. The PC driver allows for easy plug&play installation and supports simultaneous operation of up to 64 CAN-channels on the same PC. With its high density of communication channels, the USB-CANmodul16 is ideal suited for servicing and maintenance tasks of CANbus systems.
