Description

The USB2-F-7001 and USB2-F-7101 are USB to CANbus adapters, providing a fast and simple way to connect CANbus devices to a host PC with a USB port.

The USB2-F-7001 and USB2-F-7101 feature the FTDI FT245R USB to FIFO IC to interface to the PC over USB. They also include a Microchip PIC with an ECAN controller.

The USB2-F-7001 and USB2-F-7101 are powered from the USB port and do not require an external power supply. Note that they require 150mA and so must be connected directly to a USB host port, or a self-powered USB hub (with an external power supply). Bus-powered USB hubs are not supported since they cannot provide the required current.

The robust plastic enclosure has several mounting options including desktop use and wall-mount brackets. The devices connect to the PC or USB hub via a standard USB Type-B  connector.

CANbus signals are available on an industry-standard DB-9 connector conforming to the CAN-in-Automation (CiA) DS102-2 pin-out. The maximum CANbus data rate is 1Mbps. 

The USB2-F-7101 is an isolated version which features optical isolation to help prevent spikes and surges on the CAN bus from affecting the USB connection or PC.
