CPC-USB/embedded is a CAN interface for internal USB ports. Due to its compact size it is eminently suitable for applications in embedded PCs. It is installed directly at a D-Sub9 case opening or a slot panel and wired with the included cable to a pin connector of an internal USB interface of the mainboard.
The interface is equipped with a Cortex M3 microcontroller providing onChip CAN and USB controllers. By combining the powerful CPU with internal peripherals low latencies can be achieved. The interface is powered via USB, a separate supply for the CAN side is not needed. CPC-USB/embedded provides galvanic decoupling between CAN and USB and has an extended operating temperature range. It supports 11-bit and 29-bit CAN identifiers. CPC-USB/embedded-gc is a variant without galvanic decoupling for cost sensitive series applications.
For the operating systems Windows and Linux software development kits with identical API are available free of charge. Linux socketCAN is supported as well.
