Description

Compact, professional CAN bus interface with two galvanically isolated CAN FD channels, USB-C, and Ethernet. Real-time streaming at over 20,000 frames/s and 1 µs timestamps, integrated webCAN web interface, and open REST/WebSocket APIs for easy integration into test environments and automation. Robust protection features and DBC decoding enable reliable diagnostics and development.

Features

  • 2 x galvanically isolated CAN FD channels
  • USB-C and RJ45 Ethernet interfaces
  • Integrated webCAN browser interface (no driver required)
  • Timestamp resolution of 1 μs
  • More than 20,000 frames/second streaming throughput
  • 160 × 80 px color TFT display for status and URL
  • DB9 connectors for standard adapter cables
  • Open REST and WebSocket APIs
  • Transceiver protection: short circuit, bus fault, undervoltage
  • Low power consumption, compact aluminum housing
The CANsub.2 is a compact, professional CAN bus interface with two galvanically isolated CAN FD channels and flexible USB-C and Ethernet interfaces. It streams CAN frames in real time at more than 20,000 frames/s and delivers microsecond-accurate timestamps (1 μs). This makes it ideal for raster loops, UDS/OBD testing, and real-time diagnostics.

The integrated webCAN interface runs directly on the device and enables browser-based monitoring, DBC decoding, signal plotting, and the execution of time-critical transmission tasks without additional software. Hardware ID filters, configurable silent modes, and transceiver protection mechanisms increase reliability in field operations. Typical applications include vehicle diagnostics, test benches in research and development, machine integration, and field service. For multiplex setups or the highest channel count, a four-channel model is available; adapter cables allow for easy integration into existing OBD2 or J1939 connectors. Openly documented APIs and Python/SavvyCAN support facilitate automation and integration into test or data acquisition processes. The lightweight and compact aluminum housing allows for easy mounting in test benches; the integrated color TFT display shows bus load, error rates, and the current bit rate. Galvanic isolation enables the safe parallel operation of multiple bus segments. Firmware updates are free and improve functionality throughout the product's lifespan.
