EM USB-Module MCAN

CAN Adapter

The EM module MCAN is the perfect CAN module solution. MCAN allows the control of various devices and sensor units and thus provides network security. The module is equipped with a USB to CAN adapter. Further details: CAN module version 2.0A and 2.0B for serial fieldbus operations, DSUB-9 Connector (male), USB 2.0 / 1.1 capable. The possible bit rate is 20 kbit/s to 1 Mbit/s.

Optionally, the CAN module is also available with galvanic isolation (500V).


Like all EM I/O modules it fits on the module rail mounting of the products TB-M and TB-H and can be fixed on this with a screw. It is with hardware of E.E.P.D. / EMTrust as well as with most x86-and ARM third-party hardware compatibly. In addition to the assembly in the module mounting it can be fixed to a hat rail. A variation with 80-cm-long USB cable (type A plug) is also available especially for it.
