CAN-USB/3-FD

Powerful CAN FD Interface for PC

The CAN-USB/3-FD module is a USB to CAN FD-interface that uses an ARM Cortex-M7 microcontroller. The module supports the USB 2.0 high-speed interface with data rates of 480 Mbit/s.
The CAN-USB/3-FD-DINrail is equipped with a mounting rail holder for snapping onto TS35 DIN rails.

CAN FD Interface

CAN-USB/3-FD comes with an ISO 11898-1:2015-compliant CAN FD interface. The CAN FD interface allows a data-transfer rate of up to 8 Mbit/s and is electrically isolated from other potentials by means of a digital isolator and a DC/DC-converter.

CAN FD vs. CAN CC

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.

Free drivers for Windows included

The product is offered with drivers for Windows, which can be downloaded free of charge.
Detailed information can be found in the description of our order items and, if applicable, in the accessories at the bottom of this page. For more detailed information on the availability of drivers for your operating system, please contact our sales team.

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.

SocketCAN Support

This product benefits from native support through SocketCAN, seamlessly integrated into Linux. This eliminates the need for additional driver installations, ensuring straightforward and efficient usage. For users who prefer to continue utilizing the established NTCAN API calls, esd electronics provides a dedicated NTCAN wrapper library. This library ensures smooth integration of NTCAN APIs into existing systems while maintaining familiar functionality

NTCAN API and available software stacks

The NTCAN API is a cross-platform software communication interface for CAN hardware. The well-structured API allows easy integration into any application. The functionality and the versatility of the implementation provide all necessary mechanisms to control, configure and monitor CAN networks.

Many sophisticated functions make the API ideally suited for use in connection with higher CAN 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:
