Free CAN tools for fast setup and diagnosis of CAN networks

Our CAN tools for Windows, which are available free of charge in the CAN SDK, significantly support the user in quickly setting up and easily diagnosing CAN, CAN FD and CANopen networks. The possibility of data logging helps the user to record the data traffic for later analysis and to process it further as a CSV file.

CAN FD vs. CAN CC

CAN Logo
CAN FD Logo

If classic CAN (CAN CC) communication reaches its limits, the next step is not automatically Industrial Ethernet. Because with CAN FD, an increase in performance can be easily realized. Why this is so and which products esd has developed for it, you can read on our CAN FD technology page. There you will learn in the article "Easily migrate CAN FD machines and systems" what exactly has changed from CAN to CAN FD and what possibilities CAN FD offers. In addition, esd electronics has expanded the CAN FD product range based on the powerful esd Advanced CAN Core (esdACC) with modules in numerous form factors.

Wide range of hardware designs of the 402 family

The CAN 402 family is a CAN board family developed for the PCI Express and PCI bus. The CAN 402 family has variants with up to four galvanically isolated CAN or CAN FD interfaces according to ISO 11898-2 and is implemented with the esdACC (esd Advanced CAN Core) certified according to ISO 16845:2004.
The CAN or CAN FD interfaces are accessible via DSUB9 connectors for each channel (some variants require an additional adapter).
The cards are available in many designs, including low-profile versions for PCI and PCI Express as well as Mini-PCI Express and in M.2 format. In addition to these formats, which are increasingly intended for standard PCs, designs for PMC, XMC, CPCI and many other designs have also been realized. The advantage of the uniform design is the uniform hardware core. This means that applications can be transferred from desktop PC systems to e.g. CPCI systems without any porting effort.

CAN Data Management

The CAN(-FD) interfaces are controlled by the esdACC (esd Advanced CAN Core) developed by esd and certified according to ISO 16845:2004, which is implemented in an FPGA.
The design includes a bus mastering unit (first-party DMA) to exchange the CAN data.
This allows the CAN interface to initiate write cycles to the CPU RAM independently of the host system's CPU or DMA controller. This reduces the CPU load of the host system and the overall system latency.
Thanks to the support of MSI (Message Signaled Interrupts), it is possible to use the CAN interface in hypervisor environments, among others.
In addition, the module also supports high-resolution 64-bit hardware timestamps to enable highly accurate reception and transmission of CAN messages.

NTCAN API and available software stacks

The NTCAN API is a cross-platform software communication interface for CAN and CAN FD hardware. The well-structured API allows easy integration into any application. The functionality and versatility of the implementation provide all necessary mechanisms to control, configure and monitor CAN and CAN FD networks. In addition to the free version for Windows and Linux, the NTCAN API is also available for many real-time operating systems such as QNX®, RTX® or VxWorks® for a license fee.

Many sophisticated functions make the API ideally suited for use in conjunction with higher CAN / CAN FD based protocols. For many common protocols corresponding implementations are already available from esd. These higher layer protocols for Classical CAN, which are available for numerous operating systems, include:
