CANsub.4

Part No.: MPCSS-CANsub.4
CANsub.4 is a four-channel CAN FD interface with USB and Ethernet connectivity, enabling simultaneous monitoring and analysis of multiple CAN bus networks.

Product Description

The CANsub.4 is a four-channel CAN FD interface that enables real-time CAN bus data streaming via USB or Ethernet, featuring professional-grade performance, a built-in LCD display, and zero-installation operation.

The integrated webCAN application runs directly on the device and can be accessed through a web browser by simply entering the device URL. It allows users to send and receive CAN frames, decode DBC data, and visualize CAN signals instantly from any PC, tablet, or smartphone.

In addition, CANsub.4 provides open REST and WebSocket APIs for easy development of third-party applications, with plug-and-play integration for tools such as Python and SavvyCAN.

It is ideal for CAN bus diagnostics, OEM development, field service, automation systems, data acquisition, and dashboard applications.

ZERO INSTALL

Power via USB, enter the device URL in your browser, and start streaming CAN data instantly with no software installation required.

COMPACT

Compact size of only 8 × 7 × 2 cm and 90 g weight, featuring an aluminum enclosure and a built-in LCD display for real-time device status.

PRO SPECS

4 × CAN FD channels with galvanic isolation, processing over 20,000 frames per second, 1 μs timestamp resolution, error frame monitoring, and silent mode support.

WEBCAN APP

The built-in webCAN application runs directly on the device, enabling CAN frame transmission, DBC decoding, signal plotting, and device configuration via a web browser.

USB + ETHERNET

USB provides direct CAN access from a laptop, while Ethernet enables network, WiFi, and remote access with HTTPS encryption.

OPEN API

Open REST and WebSocket APIs enable fast development of custom web applications and integration with Python and other third-party tools.
