Description

A Controller Area Network (CAN) is a high-integrity asynchronous serial bus system for networking intelligent devices. It is often used in automotive and industrial systems. The SER-CAN-M is designed to make a fast, simple way to communicate with CAN bus devices. Connected to a serial port on your computer, the SER-CAN-M instantly adds an industrial CAN bus channel to your host system.

The SER-CAN-M provides a cost-effective solution for customers to enable communication with CAN bus devices. The solution designed by ARM Cortex-M0 32-bit microcontroller makes it very flexible in handling small burst of CAN frames at a high speed.

Plugging the SER-CAN-M into the serial port, The SER-CAN-M adapter provides instant connectivity to CAN bus devices. The SER-CAN-M provides an industrial solution for applications of CAN bus multi-drop communications over short and long distances.

The SER-CAN-M provides DC +5V/+12V 500mA power for external devices and is powered from an external DC 12V power supply.

USB to CAN Driver

TITAN CAN C/C++ DLL

TITAN’s CAN application programming interface (API) is written in C/C++ and compiled into a DLL file. This DLL allows users to easily create programs to control our CAN products using simple, easy to understand functions. It uses the stdcall calling convention, allowing a large number of high-level languages to import the DLL without incompability problems.

TITAN CAN Tool

Set the USB to CAN adapter to work in high speed (3Mbits).
