Programmable 6-channel CAN and CAN FD router with I/O and data logging
With its six channels, the PCAN-Router Pro FD interconnects the data streams of next-generation CAN FD buses and classic CAN buses. Thanks to plug-in CAN transceivers, each channel can be adapted to the specific requirements of the network. The router also has one analog input and four digital I/Os. CAN messages can be logged to internal memory or to a removable memory card, and later retrieved via the USB connection. The PCAN-Router Pro FD makes it possible to manage, monitor, and control the data streams of test benches and production facilities. Bidirectional CAN / CAN FD conversion makes it easier to integrate new CAN FD applications into existing CAN 2.0 networks.
The operation of the PCAN-Router Pro FD can be fully customized for specific applications. The firmware is developed using the development kit with the GNU compiler for C and C++, then transferred to the module via the CAN bus. Numerous programming examples, including message forwarding and logging, simplify the development of custom solutions.
Out of the box, the PCAN-Router Pro FD includes dedicated firmware for configurable logging of CAN and CAN-FD data traffic.
Requirements
A PEAK-CAN interface is required to load the firmware via the CAN bus.

- 2 digital I/Os, each usable as a digital input or high-side switch output
- 2 digital I/Os, each usable as a digital input or low-side switch output
- 1 analog input (0 to 32 V)
- Logging of CAN data and error frames
- Internal memory: 16 GB pSLC eMMC
- SD card slot for additional storage
- USB connection for accessing data storage (e.g. logged data)
- Conversion of logged data into various formats via the PEAK-Converter Windows software
- Battery-backed real-time clock (RTC), also usable for wake-up

On delivery, the PCAN-Router Pro FD is equipped with a firmware for recording CAN and CAN FD data traffic. The messages of all six CAN channels can be stored on the internal eMMC memory or on an inserted SD card. The storage media can be accessed via a USB connection.
Users can configure the recording with a text file without any programming knowledge. Various options are available:
- Separate configuration of the 6 CAN channels
- Setting the CAN specification to 2.0 A/B, CAN FD ISO, or CAN FD Non-ISO
- Setting the nominal and data bit rates
- Enabling or disabling the Listen-Only mode
- Recording of data frames, error frames, or data and error frames
- Setting of the trace mode and maximum file size
- Setting of the storage medium for saving the trace files
- Definition of a CAN message for setting the real-time clock (RTC)
- Configuration of events for starting and stopping the recording
- Powering the device
- By pressing the Log Off Card button
- By receiving a specific CAN message
- Configuration of timeout events for stopping the recording or shutting-down the device
- Data traffic has stopped
- Power loss on terminal 15 (Wake-up / pin 1 of the power connector)
- Main power loss
- Defining beep patterns for tracing start, end, and error events
- Defining the LED blinking pattern
- Automatic charging of an inserted backup battery
- Only when used with Ethernet interface (IPEH-002222):
- FTP access for downloading trace files and uploading the configuration file
- WebSocket connection for remote controlling via Ethernet with message transfer in JSON format (example website included in the development package)
Besides the programming examples, the data logger firmware is included in the development package for the PCAN-Router Pro FD and can be downloaded free of charge. The installation, configuration, and operation are documented in detail in the manual.
