Flexible dual channel interface for CAN/CAN FD and LIN Kvaser Hybrid 2xCAN/LIN

Flexible dual channel interface Kvaser Hybrid 2xCAN/LIN is compatible with applications that use Kvaser’s CANlib and LINlib.

Kvaser Hybrid 2xCAN/LIN (EAN: 73-30130-00965-3) with a standard USB connector and two CAN/LIN channels in two separate 9-pin D-SUB connectors, this interface can connect a PC to two CAN buses, two LIN buses, or one CAN and one LIN bus.

I. Major features of Flexible dual channel interface for CAN/CAN FD and LIN

• Hybrid USB CAN/LIN interface.
• Supports both LIN master and LIN slave mode
• Supports LIN 1.3 to 2.2
• LIN reference voltage detection
• Supports CAN FD, up to 5 Mbit/s (with correct physical layer implementation).
• Supports both 11-bit (CAN 2.0A) and 29-bit (CAN 2.0B active) identifiers.
• Powered through the USB connector.
• 100% compatible with applications written for other Kvaser CAN hardware with Kvaser CANlib and Kvaser LINlib.
• Fully compatible with J1939, CANopen, NMEA 2000R and DeviceNet.
• Quick and easy “plug-and-play” installation.

II. Additional software and documentation

• The Kvaser CANlib SDK includes everything you need in order to develop software applications interacting with Kvaser CAN and LIN hardware. The SDK contains full documentation and many sample programs, written in C, C++, C#, Delphi, Python and Visual Basic. Kvaser CAN and LIN hardware is built around the same common software API. Applications developed using one device type will run without modification on other device types.
• The latest versions of documentation, software and drivers can be downloaded for free at: kvaser.com/download.

III. Hardware of Flexible dual channel interface Kvaser Hybrid 2xCAN/LIN

Hardware installation:

• For the Kvaser Hybrid 2xCAN/LIN to communicate with the host computer, a compatible version of the Kvaser driver and firmware must be installed.
• After the driver has been installed on the host computer, the firmware may then be downloaded and installed on the Kvaser Hybrid 2xCAN/LIN.
• The latest version of the driver and firmware can be downloaded from: www.kvaser.com/download.
• The driver is installed by running the file kvaser_drivers_setup.exe.
• The Kvaser Hybrid 2xCAN/LIN may be inserted in any free USB socket on the host computer. You do not need to switch the power off before inserting or removing the device.
• For information on how to upgrade the firmware, pleas contact us!

USB connector:

• The Kvaser Hybrid 2xCAN/LIN has a standard USB type “A” connector.

CAN/LIN channels:

• The Kvaser Hybrid 2xCAN/LIN has two LIN/CAN channels in two seperate 9-pin D-SUB CAN connectors.

Power supply:

• The Kvaser Hybrid 2xCAN/LIN is powered from the USB port. You also need to apply a reference voltage to the LIN reference power pin when running the channel in LIN mode.

LED Indicators:

• The Kvaser Hybrid 2xCAN/LIN has a single power LED as well as one traffic LED and one Informational LED for each CAN/LIN channel.

Troubleshooting:

• Use “Kvaser Device Guide” in the Control Panel to verify that the computer can communicate with the Kvaser Hybrid 2xCAN/LIN. If the firmware version shown is all zeros, there are communication problems. If the LEDs are not flashing or do not light up at all, check the power supply.
