PCAN-MicroMod FD
The PCAN-MicroMod FD combines a microcontroller, a CAN FD interface, and various inputs and outputs on a small plug-in card. PEAK-System thus offers developers a simple solution for integrating these functions into their own hardware and has itself launched a series of I/O modules for various applications based on this technology. There are complete interfaces for analog or digital I/O, DIN rail modules based on CANopen FD, and a fully certified automotive ECU with typical automotive I/O.
Functionality
MicroMod FD comes standard with all the basic functionality needed to easily implement an I/O module with CAN communication. In addition to basic I/O mapping on CAN IDs, function blocks are also available for data processing. Each PCAN-MicroMod-FD device can thus be configured with a free Windows® program. The configuration created on the computer is transferred via the CAN bus to the PCAN-MicroMod FD, which then functions as an independent CAN node. This allows multiple modules to be configured independently of each other on a CAN bus.
Custom solutions
In addition to standard firmware, MicroMod FD is also suitable for custom solutions. Using the PEAK DevPack development package and Microsoft®'s free Visual Studio Code® development environment (IDE), you can create your own application-specific firmware for PEAKSystem programmable hardware products.
Standaard, CANopen, J1939 of Custom
PCAN products with PCAN-MicroMod FD technology can be used in various operating modes, depending on the firmware and model, with support for the CAN (FD) or CANopen (FD) communication protocols. An extensive configurable CAN I/O application is present by default; CANopen or CANopen FD can be activated with a license key. Additionally, this standard firmware can be replaced by J1939 or custom-developed firmware.
