1 Introduction
The PCAN-USBProFD interface enables the connection of CAN FD and LIN
networks to a computer via USB. Two field buses can be connected at the same
time, up to four with appropriate adapter cables (2 x CAN FD, 2 x LIN). Each CAN FD
channel is separately isolated against USB and LIN with a maximum of 500 Volts. Its
robust aluminum casing makes the PCAN-USBProFD interface suitable for mobile
applications.
The 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 downward compatible to the CAN 2.0 standard, CAN FD nodes can be inserted
into already existing CAN networks without CAN FD extensions.
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 standard CAN FD. The monitor application PLIN-View Pro as
well as the PLIN programming interface are also included in the scope of supply.
This manual describes the use of the CAN interface with Windows.

At the end of this manual you can find a Quick Reference with brief
information about the installation and operation of the interface.

2 Configuration
The following describes the configuration for the power supply of external devices
and the internal termination. If you do not need any of these options, skip this
chapter.
The interface must be opened for the configuration.
Risk of short circuit! Soldering on the interface may only be
performed by qualified electrical engineering personnel.
Attention! Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage or destroy
components on the card. Take precautions to avoid ESD.

2.2 Voltage Supply of External Devices
Attention! The voltage supply for external devices is not protected
separately. Therefore, turn off the computer before you connect and
disconnect CAN cables or peripheral systems. Consider that some
computers still supply the USB ports with power even when they are
turned off (standby operation).
Optionally, an external power supply can be connected via the D-Sub connector
using solder bridges at pin 1 on the D-Sub connector. This allows external devices
to be supplied with a voltage of 5 V DC, such as the PCAN-TJA1054 bus converter
for Low-speed CAN. The power supply is not activated at delivery. The current
output is limited to 50mA.
For PCAN-USBProFD from S/N 24548

2.3 Internal Termination
The termination can be activated by solder jumpers on the circuit board, to
terminate one end of the CAN bus. At delivery the termination is not activated.
Tipp: We recommend to do termination at the CAN cabling, for
example with the terminating resistors PCAN-Term (IPEK-003002) or
PCAN-MiniTerm (IPEK-003002-Mini). Thus, CAN nodes can be flexibly
connected to the bus.

3.2 Connection
Attention! Do not use a USB extension cable to connect the interface
to the computer. Extension cables do not comply with the USB
specification.
1. Connect the interface to a USB port of the computer or of a connected USBhub.
Windows detects the new hardware and completes the driver installation.
2. Check the LEDs on the interface. If the LED „USB“ is blinking and the other LEDs
light up green, the driver was initialized successfully.
3.3 Check Operational Readiness
1. Open the Windows Start menu.
2. Type Peak Settings and press |Enter|.
The window PEAK-Settings appears.
3. Select CAN Hardware.
The connected CAN interface is displayed.
4. Select LIN Hardware.
The connected LIN interface is displayed.
3.4 Connecting the CAN and LIN Bus
The two connectors CAN1/LIN1 and CAN2/LIN2 can each be connected
simultaneously to a CAN and a LINbus. Depending on the actual application, the D-
Subsockets on the busside must be assigned accordingly. The assignment for CAN
corresponds to the specification CiA®106.
For each CAN connection there is galvanic isolation up to 500 V against USB and
LIN.
Both LIN connections have a common galvanic isolation up to 500 V against USB
and CAN. The LIN connections are not galvanically isolated against each other.
The transceiver of the LIN interface requires a power supply between 8 and
18VDC. This must be connected via pin 9 at the D-Sub connector. Both LIN
connections need their own supply.

PEAK System offers a pre-configured LIN connection cable
(IPEK-003013), wich allows the tapping of individual lines. The LIN and
the supply lines are lead directly out to separate plugs and the CAN
lines are forwarded to a D-Sub plug.
3.5 CAN Cabling
3.5.1 Termination
The High-speed CAN bus (ISO 11898-2) must be terminated with 120 Ω on both
ends. The termination prevents interfering signal reflections and ensures the
proper operation of the transceivers of the connected CAN nodes (CAN interfaces,
controldevices).
3.5.2 Example of a Connection
3 Installation PCAN-USBProFD
User Manual 2.0.0 © 2023 PEAK-System Technik GmbH
17

This example shows a connection between the PCAN Interface and a control unit
(ECU). The upper example shows a connection with a cable which is terminated
with 120 Ω at both ends. At the lower example the connection is made with
termination adapters.
3.5.3 Maximum Bus Length
The maximum bus length depends primarily on the bit rate:
Nominal bit rate Buslength
1 Mbit/s 40 m
500 kbit/s 110 m
250 kbit/s 240 m
125 kbit/s 500 m
50 kbit/s 1.3 km
25 kbit/s 2.5 km
The listed values have been calculated on the basis of an idealized system and can
differ from reality.
Note: For CAN FD, the same maximum bus lengths applys as for CAN,
despite the higher data bit rate of CAN FD. The dependency is based
on the bit rate during the arbitration, called nominal bit rate.
3.6 Example Application under Windows
As an example application for accessing the interface, run the CAN monitor
PCAN-View and/or the LIN monitor PLIN-ViewPro from the Windows Start menu.
