PC to CAN-bus Interface
The Series 3D2104 Display device has three CAN bus interfaces that can be used for various
purposes. The GridConnect USB-to-CAN adapter and software is a PC to CAN-bus interface that can
be used for monitoring and sending messages on the CAN bus. The GridConnect software can be
installed on the development PC as shown below:
1. Insert the disc or download the software from
www.gridconnect.com and install the PCAN
USB software.
2. A copy of the Dynamic Link Library
(PCANBasic.DLL) provided with the USB PCAN
adapter needs to be copied to the Windows PC.
It is recommended that the DLL be copied to
the same folder as the application (e.g., VUI
Builder) that will be using it. Make sure that the
32-bit version is used as opposed to the 64-bit
version of the DLL. (Note: The PCANBasic.dll
file can be found in the folder
“\PreRelease\PCAN-Basic v3.4 (CAN-FD
Support)\Win32” on the disc. It’s also available
on the GridConnect web site under “Support ->
Product Packages -> PCAN-USB package”. Then
look in the download file “usb.zip” under the
folder “PCAN-Basic API\Win32\”.)
