Using PCAN Basic for internal Can network?

Post by Espen » Mon 25. Apr 2022, 10:08

Dear Readers,
I own some PCAN USB adapters where I could easily develop and test software.

Now I want to use the same hardware to test an internal CAN Node.
But that fails because I can not find the node under "Intern" ( and the delivered sample software too ).
PCAN-Explorer 5 finds it.

How can I access the node under "Intern" to send and receive frames to it for test purposes?

Please see attachment.

If I need to pay a little, it would be OK for me.

Regards
Espen

If you own a PE5 License, simply start the Net Configuration Tool, create a NET in the section "Intern" that fit to your need. Save the changes.
Now open PCAN-View and you will find the NET as a part of the Intern Tree.

Hello,

Remark: please note that you cannot use PCAN-Basic with an internal net. You always need a physical channel to use the fee free API.
Best regards,
Keneth
