The CPC-USB/embedded is a compact CAN interface designed for internal USB ports, ideal for embedded PC applications. It connects directly to a D-Sub9 case opening or slot panel and interfaces with the mainboard's internal USB via an included cable. The interface features a Cortex M3 microcontroller with on-chip CAN and USB controllers, ensuring low latency. It is USB-powered, eliminating the need for a separate CAN power supply. The device offers galvanic decoupling between CAN and USB and supports both 11-bit and 29-bit CAN identifiers. A cost-effective variant, CPC-USB/embedded-gc, is available without galvanic decoupling.
Technical DataThe interface includes a CAN segment with a D-Sub9 male plug, adhering to the CiA DS-102 standard, and a USB connector that supplies power. The pin assignment for the CAN connector is as follows:
| Pin | Name | Function |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | CAN_L | CAN data line (dominant low) |
| 3 | GND | Ground |
| 7 | CAN_H | CAN data line (dominant high) |
Exceeding the limiting values may cause permanent damage to the CPC-USB/embedded and connected devices. Prolonged exposure to these conditions can affect reliability and lifespan.
Nominal ValuesUnless specified, values are based on a 5 V supply voltage and 20 °C environmental temperature.
Scope of DeliveryUSB/CAN Interface USB/CAN Interface CPC-USB/embeddedSpecial Features • Powerful Cortex M3 microcontroller with internal CAN controller • Extended temperature range • Optional galvanic isolation between CAN and USB • Firmware flashable over USB • Linux socketCAN is supported • Free of charge development kits for Windows 7/8.x/10/ll and Linux 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.
