1 Introduction
The CANFDAdapter PCAN-USBFD allows the connection of CANFD and CAN
networks to a computer via USB. A galvanic isolation of up to 500 Volts decouples the
PC from the CANbus. The simple handling and its compact plastic casing makes the
adapter suitable for mobile applications.
The new CANFD standard (CAN with Flexible Data rate) is primarily characterized by
higher bandwidth for data transfer. The maximum of 64data bytes per CANFD frame
(instead of 8 so far) can be transmitted with bit rates up to 12Mbit/s. CANFD is down-
ward-compatible to the CAN 2.0A/B standard, thus CANFD nodes can be used in
existing CAN networks. However, in this case the CANFD extensions are not applic-
able.
The monitor software PCAN-View and the programming interface PCAN-Basic for the
development of applications with CAN connection are included in the scope of supply
and support the new standard CANFD.
Device drivers exist for different operating systems, so programs can easily access a
connected CANbus.
Tip: At the end of this manual (Appendix C ) you can find a
Quick Reference with brief information about the installation
and operation of the PCAN-USBFD adapter.

2 Installing the Software and the
Adapter
This chapter covers the software setup for the PCAN-USBFD adapter under Windows
and the connection of the adapter to the computer.
Install the driver before you connect the adapter to the computer.
Do the following to install the driver:
1. Download the devicedrivers installation package from our website
www.peak-system.com/quick/DL-Driver-E.
2. Extract the PEAK-System_Driver-Setup.zip.
3. Double-click the PeakOemDrv.exe file.
The driver installation program starts.
4. Follow the program instructions.
Do the following to connect the adapter:
Note: Do not use a USB extension cable to connect the
PCAN-USB FD adapter to the computer. The use of an exten-
sion cable does not comply with the USB specification and can
lead to malfunction of the adapter.
1. Connect the adapter to a USB port of the computer or of a connected
USBhub. The computer can remain powered.
Windows detects the new hardware and completes the driver installation.
2. Check the LED on the adapter. If the LED is green, then the driver was initia-
lized successfully.

3 Connecting the CANBus
3.1 Connection over D-Sub Connector
A High-speed CAN bus (ISO11898-2) connected to the 9-pin D-Sub connector. The pin
assignment for CAN corresponds to the specification CiA®303-1.
Figure 1: Pin assignment High-speed CAN (view onto connector of the PCAN-USBFD adapter)
Low power devices (e.g. bus converters) can be supplied directly with 5 Volts over
pin1 of the CAN connector. Pin 1 is not in use at the delivery state. For more infor-
mation see section 3.2 .
Tip: Connect a CANbus with a different transmission standard
via a bus converter. PEAK-System offers different bus
converter modules like the PCAN-TJA1054 for a Low-speed
CAN bus according to ISO11898-3.
3.2 Voltage Supply of External Devices
External devices with low power consumption (e.g. bus converters) can be directly
supplied via the CAN connector. With a solder bridge for the one CANchannel on the

PCAN-USBFDboard (casing opened), a 5-Volt supply can optionally be routed to pin1
of the D-Sub connector. The current output is limited to 50mA.
Do the following to activate the voltage supply:
Attention! Risk of short circuit! Solder with great care to avoid
unwanted short circuits on the circuit board.
Attention!Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage or
destroy components on the circuit board. Take precautions to
avoid ESD.
1. Open the adapter casing. Push the latches on both sides cautiously, e.g. with a
flat tip screwdriver.
2. Remove the board.
3. Set the solder bridge.
