The PCAN-Router Pro FD by PEAK-System is a six-channel CAN FD router and data logger, which is now offered with an RJ-45 Ethernet interface as an option. The programmable router comes with custom firmware, which is loaded using the CAN Bus network. In addition, the provided development package includes multiple C/C++ programming samples for employing the capabilities of the PCAN-Router Pro FD and its Ethernet interface.

By default, the PCAN-Router Pro FD is equipped with ready-to-use firmware for recording CAN 2.0 and CAN FD data traffic. The CAN port configuration, the IP connection, and all recording settings are achieved using a text file, which does not require any special programming skills. The configuration and the trace files are stored on an internal 16 GByte eMMC memory or an onboard SD card.

The memory is typically accessed via a USB connection. However, data can be transferred via the connected IP network using FTP with the Ethernet interface present. In addition, the system's hardware and data logging are controlled remotely via IP using a WebSocket connection, which requires WebSocket client software. A sample website with a JavaScript implementation of a WebSocket client is included in the development package, and it effortlessly connects to the PCAN-Router Pro FD.

Raspberry Pi 4 with PICAN Dual CAN Bus HAT

The Raspberry Pi 4 offers ground-breaking improvements in processor speed, multimedia performance, memory, and connectivity compared to the prior-generation boards while preserving backward compatibility. In addition, the Raspberry Pi 4 provides desktop performance comparable to entry-level x86 PC systems.

The PiCAN2 DUO board provides two independent CAN-Bus ports for the Raspberry Pi 4. It uses the Microchip MCP2515 CAN controller with MCP2551 CAN transceiver. Connections are made via a 4-way screw terminal. In addition, this board comes with a 5VDC 3A SMPS (Switch Mode Power Supply) to power the Pi and the PICAN board.
