Its compact design and backward compatibility with CAN 2.0 make it ideal for professionals needing robust, mobile-ready CAN network interfacing.

## Description

Connect CAN FD and CAN networks to a computer via USB with the CAN USB FD adapter. A galvanic isolation of up to 500 Volts decouples the PC from the CAN bus. The simple handling and its compact plastic casing make 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 downward-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 applicable.

Review: Does work with CAN FD - Someone else's review said this didn't work with CAN FD, but I can confirm it does. I have it set up with a vehicle network that runs 500k baud, with 2M can FD bitrate and it's working great. I used the PCan-View that came with it, and was able to read/write data.
Review: Does not work with CAN FD - It works with CAN 2.0. But does not work with CAN FD. If you want to use CAN FD, I recommend you Kavser products.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What free software can I use with this?**
A: The vendors site includes free software for download. It is straightforward, Hex message CAN. Similar to a general purpose terminal software package for old-style serial communications. The site also links to canopenmagic.com who have CANOpen software packages, a layer higher that supports the CANOpen dictionary structure and EDS/DCF files. The CANOpen Magic packages are available in several different levels and all are available for two week free trial. If you need CANOpen, figure out what features you need and read the descriptions carefully.  The are less-than-obvious pull down menus for the various levels. For my purposes the $1200 package did the trick. If you can live with manually querying the dictionary and hand building messages, you can get by for a couple of hundred. Of course, if you can get it done in two weeks. its free. The CANOpen Magic software utilizes active seat licensing/management, so you will need a live net connection each time you launch the application - even for the trial versions.

It works with CAN 2.0. But does not work with CAN FD. If you want to use CAN FD, I recommend you Kavser products.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Work just fine with CAN FD
*by L***L on August 21, 2021*

The device is reliable, works fine with CAN FD and Classical CAN. There are Windows software that are easy to use for monitoring purpose. The tricky part is to setup CANFD with socketcan on Linux to work with other CAN FD MCU (STM32 in my case). But everything works fine once socketcan setting is set correctly.
