Product Information

  • Inexpensive and easy to install – no driver installation required
  • Simple API interface for fast integration into customer applications
  • Optimised for diagnosis and commissioning of devices and systems with the CAN bus interface
  • Galvanic isolation prevents over-voltage damage

simplyCAN behaves like a standard serial USB device when connected to a USB port, the installation of a special driver under Windows 10 or Linux is therefore not required. For accessing the CAN functions of the simplyCAN adapter only a small number of functions is required, allowing easy and fast integration into customer applications.

simplyCAN comes with a simple monitoring tool for Windows and Linux, which can be used for commissioning of the adapter as well as for displaying messages in raw format and for sending individual messages.
