Many PHYTEC System on Modules (SOMs) offer integrated CAN (Controller Area Network) capability. Successful integration of our CAN-capable SOMs into existing embedded network applications or design of brand new systems requires sophisticated CAN development and network analysis tools. Our complementary line of CAN hardware and software products from leading vendors such as PEAK-System Technik and SYSTEC electronic GmbH provide a wide variety of solutions for connecting CAN field bus systems to desktop, laptop or industrial computers. Various levels of CAN analyzing software including message recording and visualization tools affords the CAN network design engineer with a true one-stop-shopping experience.

PC-to-CAN Interfaces

PC-to CAN interfaces are essential for monitoring data traffic in a CAN network or for developing firmware for an embedded CAN application by providing a hardware connection from a host PC to the CAN bus. These interface products are available with various PC and laptop connection types including USB, parallel, serial, PCI and ISA as well as PC card. All PC-CAN interfaces include some basic CAN monitoring software enabling immediate setup verification and initial CAN message viewing.

CAN Software Development Tools

Sophisticated CAN software development and network analyzing tools are essential for complex network design and troubleshooting projects. The popular PCAN Explorer software provides easy and clear access to individual CAN messages and their data contents in numerical or graphical form as well data logging capabilities. CANopen configuration and network simulation tools are also available.

CAN/CANopen IO Nodes

Using these tiny CAN SOMs control engines allow easy and cost-effective addition of digital and analog inputs and outputs to existing CAN systems running proprietary CAN protocols or within standardized CANopen networks.

CAN Bus Converters

Our PC-to CAN interfaces use the common CAN high-speed transceivers for dual wire CAN and up to 1 Mbit/s transfer rates. The CAN bus converter adapters make it possible to connect the interfaces to other types of CAN systems like single-wire, low-speed or other CAN networks.

CAN Diagnostic Tools

All-in-one handheld diagnostics system suitable for analyzing and troubleshooting CAN systems in the field. With the help of the built-in oscilloscope the user will be able to get a detailed analysis of the differential CAN signals in addition to displaying messages on a frame level.

CAN Industrial Control

Compact, CAN-based automation control systems for universal processing of standard industrial signals, encased in a Phoenix housing and mountable on a DIN/EN rail.

CAN Accessories

Our CAN accessories include industrial CAN cables, T adapters and CAN cable termination adapters that spare the embedded engineer from building their own cable assemblies.
