PCAN-LIN 

Interface for LIN, CAN, and RS-232 

The PCAN-LIN module enables CAN, LIN, and serial 

participants to communicate. The module is supplied 

in a plastic casing and includes firmware which 

enables data to be exchanged between the different 

bus systems. Various modes can be set up with the 

aid of configuration software. Then for instance the 

module acting as the LIN master can request data and

PCAN-Repeater 

Test CAN Repeater with Galvanic Isolation 

The PCAN-Repeater creates a connection between two 

High-speed CAN busses with galvanic isolation of up 

to 5 kV. Both CAN channels are decoupled from each 

other and from the power supply. CAN messages are 

forwarded 1:1 between the two channels and may be 

forwarded unidirectionally if required. LEDs display 

the current bus status. With its DIN rail casing and 

extended temperature range support, this module is 

suitable for use in an industrial environment. 

Please note: Due to the CAN protocol, the maximum 

length of a CAN bus depends on the bit rate. Therefore, 

a bus cannot be extended with the PCAN-Repeater. 

The physical total length of the CAN bus is reduced 

with each built-in PCAN-Repeater according to its 

signal delay.

PCAN-GPRS Link 

Platform for Telematic Applications 

The PCAN-Cable OBD-2 cable 

is not supplied with the product. 

PCAN-GPRS Link is a module for recording and 

forwarding vehicle data. There are two freely 

programmable microcontrollers within the unit which 

process internal vehicle data. 

The PCAN-GPRS Link is provided as a development 

platform for telematic applications. An API allows 

simple integration within a specific application 

environment. The PCAN-GPRS Link supports 

the evaluation of FMS and Bus FMS data (Fleet 

Management System). This produces consumptionrelated 

vehicle data. The DTCO info interface also 

allows the connection and processing of a digital tacho 

with access to information such as driver identification 

and driver working time. The GPS module can be 

used to determine location and output the direction of 

travel. 


There is an optional expansion to allow any volume of 

additional data to be processed, output and recorded. 

These include temperature and movement sensors, 

barcode scanners, RFID readers, displays, and WiFi or 

Bluetooth connections. 

The PCAN-GPRS Link has ECE type approval (E1), 

which guarantees its problem–free use in vehicles. 

The PCAN-GPRS Link is supplied with a programming 

example in the form of a Linux daemon for x86 Debian. 

This daemon receives the data from the PCAN-GPRS 

Link and writes them to a mySQL database. Data can 

then be visualized using a php script based on Google 

Maps* and AJAX. Output includes the FMS and OBD-2 

data and positions of all modules connected to the 

database.

PCAN-Developer 

CAN Development Package for Windows 7/Vista/XP 

PCAN is a flexible system for planning, developing, 

and applying CAN networks. Windows Kernel drivers 

are the basis for communication between PCs and 

external hardware via a CAN bus. These form the 

core of a complete CAN network environment on a PC 

running Windows. 

This device driver manages the whole data traffic for 

all the hardware connected to the PC. The interface 

to the user or operator of a hardware device, which is 

connected to a CAN network, is formed by so-called 

PCAN-Clients. These enable process quantities to be 

displayed and influenced as necessary. The driver 

allows multiple clients to be connected and these are 

able to communicate with CAN busses. It supports 

various hardware components that are based on NXP’s 

SJA1000 CAN controller. 

The following features apply to PCAN-Client programs, 

networks, and hardware: 

A Client can be connected to more than one 

network 

A network supports multiple Clients 

A hardware device belongs to one network only 

A network may have exactly one hardware device 

assigned to it, or none at all 

When a Client transmits, the message is passed 

via hardware to the external bus and to all the 

other Clients 

If a message is received via the hardware, it is 

received by all Clients 

Multiple networks may be defined per hardware 

device 

The PCAN-API interface DLL enables software 

developers to use these features. 


PCAN-Developer includes a single user license for 

the development package and a distribution license 

for the PCAN-Developer redistributable. This package 

includes the API DLLs as well as the software products 

PCAN-View, PCAN-CPL, PCAN-Nets Configuration, and 

PCAN-Status Display. 

For the API and the software you will receive for the 

duration of two years all updates and free support, 

from our hotline or the forum for developers working 

with PCAN-Developer.

(XCP) is a further development of CCP, but not 

compatible. XCP supports multiple transmission 

mediums. The corresponding programming interface 

by PEAK-System is called PCAN-XCP API which uses 

the CAN bus as transmission medium analogous to the 

PCAN-CCP API. 

Both APIs utilize the programming interface PCAN- 

Basic for accessing the CAN hardware in the computer. 

PCAN-Basic is included with every CAN interface from 

PEAK-System. The PCAN-CCP API and PCAN-XCP API 

packages are free of charge.

Comprehensive Configuration Software for I/O Modules 

PPCAN-Editor 2 software enables detailed 

configuration of various I/O modules with CAN 

connections, such as PCAN-MIO, PCAN-Router Pro, 

and MU-Thermocouple1 CAN. 

This type of configuration process begins with the 

definition of incoming and outgoing CAN messages. 

Then, depending on the hardware, the user has a 

number of different function blocks and other settings 

available for processing CAN data traffic. Finally, the 

configuration data is transmitted to the module using 

CAN. This step requires a PEAK CAN interface. 

Features

message transmission 

Data manipulation via the basic scale and offset 

functions 

Various function blocks for processing of 

measurement values such as hysteresis, 

characteristic curves, mathematical calculation 

operations, and logical links

PCAN Symbol Editor 

Windows Software for Creating and Editing Symbol Files 

The symbol format developed by PEAK-System 

translates the hexadecimal display used for CAN data 

traffic into a format that the user can understand. 

To create a symbol, names are first assigned to 

the individual CAN IDs. The interpretation and 

presentation of CAN data is defined using variables 

with various parameters, such as name and output 

format. The symbol created in this manner enables 

easy allocation of incoming and outgoing CAN 

messages and ensures that the CAN data is readable. 

The free PCAN Symbol Editor uses clearly structured 

menus and a graphical representation of symbols to 

enable convenient creation and editing of symbol files. 

Features 

Symbolic representation of CAN messages 

through the assigning of alphanumeric names 

Bit-exact division of the data into variables for 

assigning name, data type, list of values, scaling, 

offset etc. 

Supports data processing in accordance with IEEE 

754 as well as in the Intel and Motorola format 

Set up user-defined outputs using lists of values 

(Enums) 

Use of multiplexers for outputting CAN data of a 

single CAN ID with different symbol definitions 

The graphic representation of symbols and the 

automatic error detection allow easy creation of 

symbol files 

The Item Navigator and the search function allow 

targeted access to all elements of the symbol files 

Create virtual variables for CAN-independent 

inputs and outputs and macro calculations (in 

conjunction with PCAN-Explorer only) 

Importing of CANdb files into the symbol data 

format and vice versa (requires the PCAN-Explorer 

Add-In CANdb Import) 

Supports symbols for J1939 message formats

including the interest payable on arrears resulting from it, any legal costs 

and, lastly, to the sales price. 

5.3 Promissory notes or predated checks will only be accepted after a 

written promissory agreement made prior to sale, and only for payment 

purposes. All taxes, bank, discount, or withdrawal charges are at the 

expense of the Buyer. 

5.4 When a number of promissory notes are given as payment, then all 

promissory notes are payable, if the next payable promissory note is not 

paid according to the time allotted in the promissory note agreement. 

5.5 If the Buyer is derelict in making payments or fails to otherwise to meet 

the terms from these General Terms of Business, ceases payment, or 

if the Buyer’s legal representative files for bankruptcy, then all legal 

fees become payable toward the sum of the total accounts payable to 

PEAK-System. In this case PEAK-System has the right to renege on 

all contracts and to take all previously delivered merchandise back into 

their possession, as well as to demand restitution for all costs occurred 

in connection with the repossession of said merchandise. This includes 

transportation costs, devaluation of merchandise, etc. Merchandise 

shall be valued at the prevailing price list or purchase contract at the time

6. Ownership Proviso, Private Resale, Transfer of Goods 

6.1 PEAK-System maintains claims on ownership of delivered merchandise 

until full payment of the purchase price, including any interest resulting 

from default as well as legal costs, has been made. 


6.2 Until transfer of ownership of the merchandise from PEAK-System 

to the Buyer has been made, the Buyer may neither sell, nor transfer 

ownership of said merchandise to a Third Party. In the event that the 

merchandise in question is either forfeited or taken into possession by 

another Party, the Buyer is responsible for notifying PEAK-System. In 

addition, all costs resulting from the release of said merchandise are 

the financial responsibility of the Buyer. The Buyer may, in the course 

of normal business, sell the merchandise to a Third Party, as long as 

the Buyer is not in default on payments to PEAK-System. The Buyer 

is also responsible for any wear, damage or incidental product failure 

during the period of the ownership proviso. If the Buyer chooses to use 

other products in combination with PEAK-System products during this 

time, PEAK-System obtains co-ownership of the additional products in 

relation to their value when combined with PEAK-System merchandise. 

The Buyer hereby forfeits his or her rights to transfer ownership of the 

provisioned good, at currently calculated net value, to PEAK-System; 

PEAK-System hereby accepts this forfeiture. The Buyer’s right to resell 

PEAK-System merchandise ends when the Buyer is overdue in his payments 

to PEAK-System, or becomes insolvent. In this case, the Buyer 

maintains possession of the provisioned merchandise only with PEAK- 

System’s written permission.

7.1 As PEAK-System is not personally the manufacturer of the majority 

of components used on its products, terms of delivery are only valid 

for the merchandise that is currently held in storage at PEAK-System. 

Furthermore, PEAK-System can only reference „estimated delivery 

dates“ and cannot be bound by the terms of a fixed delivery schedule. 

PEAK-System is obligated to inform the Buyer in writing of any foreseeable 

delay in any stated, estimated delivery date. 

7.2 If an estimated delivery date is unexpectedly delayed, then the Buyer 

has the right to extend to PEAK-System a four (4) week grace period 

on delivery. If delivery has not been made upon lapse of this period, 

the Buyer has the right to partially or completely withdraw from the 

contracted purchase agreement. Unless the Buyer can demonstrate that 

a legal representative or employee of PEAK-System is guilty of malice 

or gross negligence, further claims or demands are excluded, including 

claims for loss compensation as a result of failure to comply with the 

terms of the contract. 

7.3 Estimated delivery dates, as originally printed in quotes, sales contracts 

or Purchase Order confirmations, are subject to change due to such 

issues as failure to receive parts from distributors and other sources, 

production errors, strikes, Acts of God, as well as other circumstances 

that are beyond PEAK-System’s control. 

8. Cancellation of Delivery 

8.1 If the Buyer cancels an order in part or completely, and fails to fulfill its 

obligation to accept delivery, PEAK-System is then justified in making 

claims for comprehensive loss compensation. 

8.2 All products intended for delivery that have already been produced at the 

point of the Buyer’s cancellation of an order or contracted agreement are 

to be paid for at the full sales price by the Buyer. 

8.3 For any products that have not yet been produced, a flat-rate compensation 

of 50% of the order value is to be paid if cancellation by the Buyer 

is not made at least twenty (20) days before the estimated delivery date. 

8.4 In all other cases of non-delivery at the Buyer’s behest, a flat-rate compensation 

of 30% of order value will be assessed. 

8.5 If the Buyer can document proof that the amount of actual loss is smaller 

than that claimed by PEAK-System, then PEAK-System shall only be 

entitled to compensation equal to this the determined amount of loss. 

Likewise, PEAK-System is also free to calculate the exact sustained loss 

in the case of a breach of contract and demand this sum as compensation 

from the Buyer. 

8.6 PEAK-System maintains the right to demand default compensation 

after discontinuing delivery if the Buyer fails to pay for partially delivered 

products according to the terms of contract. 

8.7 In case of products designated and acknowledged as NCNR (Non- 

Cancelable, Non-Returnable), Buyer is obligated to receive and pay in 

full for all merchandise and parts upon submittal of a Purchase Order for 

said products.

Buyer fails to notify PEAK-System, then it is assumed that the merchandise 

was received and considered acceptable. That is, unless even by 

close inspection of the merchandise no visible defects could be found. 

In this case, the Buyer must immediately inform PEAK-System of such 

defects for verification by PEAK-System. Otherwise the merchandise 

will be considered accepted regardless of any defects.

makes good its warranty by repairing or replacing any material or manufacturing
