By using a Virtual CAN Bus, we separate the control task from other tasks. The distributed embedded control system can be developed using standard CAN Controllers and transceivers in a traditional way with well proven tools.
Other tasks such as encryption, transmitter authentication, re-flashing, etc. can be developed by experts in these fields and carried out by using other protocols. With modern technology, the different tasks can run in parallel and simultaneously communicate on the same physical layer.
It is a great advantage to separate the control problems from other problems. The control problem can be solved once and for all by the control experts and other problems by experts in their respective technology fields.
Kvaser Leaf SemiPro with MagiSync™ is a one channel USB interface for Low Speed CAN (ISO 11898-3). It offers the possibility to easily connect several interfaces to a PC. The time-stamping is synchronized through Kvaser MagiSync™. Providing flexibility and making it perfect for multi-channel applications.
Automatic and accurate clock synchronization between several Kvaser Leaf SemiPro interfaces through Kvaser MagiSync™. The technical solution is unique and patented by Kvaser.
Handles up to 15,000 messages per second, time-stamped and synchronized with a precision of 25 microsecond.
Supports both 11-bit (CAN 2.0A) and 29-bit (CAN 2.0B active) identifiers.
Reliable error handling.
Supports silent mode for analyzing tools.
Low power consumption.
Excellent EMC performance.
Galvanic isolation of the CAN bus driver stage to protect the hardware.
Labeled CAN channel for easy identification of the supported physical layer.
Equipped with a 110 cm (44 in.) long USB cable and a 30 cm (12 in.) long CAN cable.
Interfaces the CAN bus with a 9-pin D-SUB connector.
Designed for USB 2.0, backward compliant with USB 1.1.
Quick and easy Plug-and-Play installation.
A practically unlimited number of Kvaser Leafs can be connected via standard USB hubs for simultaneous use on a single PC.
Windows drivers for all our CAN hardware. Please check release notes for information on which Windows versions are supported. It also contain a driver for the virtual CAN bus.
A free of charge, general-purpose CAN bus monitor. Works with all CAN interfaces from Kvaser. Windows 2000 or later is recommended but Windows 98 should also work.
Software development kit - everything you need to develop software for the Kvaser CAN and LIN interfaces. Link libraries, header files, sample programs, Microsoft Visual Basic and Borland Delphi components, documentation, and more. Note: you need to download and install the appropriate device drivers separately.
