CANUSB-OEM-ISO

OEM version based on LAWICEL CANUSB

CANUSB-OEM-ISO serves as a CAN interface converter to be integrated in automation devices, machines or PCs with a USB interface. This board-level unit is based on the LAWICEL CANUSB adapter, so it offers the same functional features as the original version - driver software, protocols and API are identical for both products.

Isolation increases robustness

Galvanic isolation between CAN bus devices is a measure to increase system reliability in industrial applications. Different units within the same bus system may expose different electrical potential levels. This can cause temporary errors or permanent malfunction of the CAN bus, especially in systems covering a wide physical area. The most effective counter-measure is to isolate the voltage domains from each other.

Connector options

While the standard CANUSB is housed in an enclosure, the OEM version comes as a board level device. The input USB connector and the D-Sub9 connector on the CAN side are common for all CANUSB family members. However, CANUSB-OEM-ISO offers a number of optional connector configurations.

Alternatively to the mini-B connector mounted on the USB side (as shown in the picture), a 2x5 header connector can be mounted. The pin assigment of this header follows the scheme that is usually found on many PC motherboards.

On the CAN side, a terminal block can be installed instead of the 9-pin D-Sub connector mounted by default.
