USB CAN Adapter For Automotive Bus Analysis | COMMDongle

COMMDongle | USB CAN Interface Adapter

The COMMDongle USB CAN adapter is a convenient, robust, and physically compact tool for CAN interfacing, logging and analysis.

The device can be used as a standard CAN/USB interface via a PC to analyse individual CAN messages using our CANSurf software tool. Also for advanced CAN bus analysis using VISUALCONNX or your own software via APIs.

It offers full galvanic isolation and logging of multiple 2.0b buses at speeds of up to 1Mbit/s.

So using COMMDongle you can send, receive, monitor and log messages on the CAN bus conveniently.

Technical overview:

The COMMDongle range is designed for test and development engineers or students. Such individuals need powerful and compact communications interfaces with fully-certified drivers covering a wide range of software, including VISUALCONNX and many programming languages, such as C#, C++, VB.NET and many others.

COMMDongle Pro Dual Channel CAN USB InterfaceAvailable with a full platform of hardware and supporting software out of the box – along with cables and interfaces, the COMMDongle USB range is swiftly in active use.

It is designed for demanding applications and discerning users who require cost-effective communications interfaces. Devices are galvanically isolated and offers high-speed CAN or LIN communications at a competitive price.

VISUALCONNX HMI software is available to monitor and control the CAN bus using one or more CAN databases or VISUALCONNX’s CAN data engine, network or system definition files.

A 30-day trial of VISUALCONNX Full Developer is provided with each COMMDongle purchased.
