Description

This product is an evaluation board for the PCAN-MicroMod FD and allows the conception and development of own circuits with CAN connection and I/O functionality. It can also be used for training purposes for CAN and CAN FD setups. Via pick-offs, screw terminals, switches, and potentiometers, the user can access the resources of the attached PCAN-MicroMod FD and check configurations or test circuits.

The configuration is done with a supplied Windows software which transfers the configuration data to the module via CAN. The optionally available Evaluation Kit includes the CAN interface and a CAN cable required for this purpose.

The PCAN-MicroMod FD Evaluation Board can alternatively be operated with CANopen firmware from our partner Embedded Systems Academy. A license for the CANopen firmware is included in the scope of delivery.

Requirements

The configuration requires a PEAK CAN interface.
