SimplyCAN
Interface for easy and economical CAN access
Features and Benefits
- Inexpensive and easy to install - no driver installation required
- Simple API interface for fast integration into customer applications
- Optimized for diagnosis and commissioning of devices and systems with CAN bus interface
- Galvanic isolation prevents over-voltage damage
Easy commissioning
simplyCAN behaves like a standard serial USB device when connected to a USB port, the installation of a special driver under Windows 10 or Linux is therefore not required. For accessing the CAN functions of the simplyCAN adapter only a small number of functions is required, allowing easy and fast integration into customer applications.
Comparison with USB-to-CAN
Compared to the well-known USB-to-CAN interface series from Ixxat, simplyCAN has the following options in this brief overview:
| simpyCAN | USB-to-CAN | |
|---|---|---|
| Protocol | 1x CAN | 1x of 2x CAN, CAN-FD, LS-CAN and LIN |
| CAN | CAN 2.0A/B | CAN 2.0A/B and CAN-FD |
| CAN bitrates | CiA bitrates 10, 20,50, 125, 250, 500, 800 and 1000 Kbps |
Any possible bitrate: CAN: 10 - 1000 Kbps CAN FD: up to 10 Mbps |
| CAN Busload | 50~60% max | 100% |
| USB | USB 1.1 - 12 Mbps | USB 2.0 - 480 Mbps |
| Driver | Not appliable, direct Plug & Play | VCI or ECI drivers needed |
| Optional software | None | CANopen master API and J1939 API, canAnalyser suite CANopen and J1939 stacks, All VCI/ECI based applications |
| Compatibility | None | With all other Ixxat CAN interfaces |
Included monitoring tool
simplyCAN comes with a simple monitoring tool for Windows and Linux, which can be used for commissioning of the adapter as well as for displaying messages in raw format and for sending individual messages.
Supported operating systems
simplyCAN is tested on Windows 7 (32 bit and 64 bit) and Windows 10 (64 bit),
Ubuntu 14.04 on Linux kernel version 4.4 as well as Ubuntu 18.04 on Linux kernel version 4.15 on Intel/AMD processors.
ARM based processors are not supported.
