About CS-CAN

About CS-CAN

CS-CAN is a converter which turns RS232 signal to CAN Message.

CAN stands for Controller Area Network. CAN bus was developed in 1986. When CAN was

first developed, it was used for communication among electronic devices inside of a car.

However, the use was expanded to different areas that it is also used in industrial

automated devices or for the medical devices.

The advantage of using CS-CAN is as follows:

 Supports CAN specification 2.0, both A and B
 32 message objects
 Up to 115200bps serial communication speed and 1Mbps for CAN.
