Adapter on PCAN-USB Pro FD

Post by CartEelc » Thu 5. Jun 2025, 10:17

Hello,

2 questions here :

Can I plug 2 PCAN-Optoadapter on the PCAN-USB Pro FD ? It seems that it fits but I would like to be sure.
Also I guess it is plug and play, right ?

Thanks !

Hi,

PCAN-USB Pro FD is already isolated on the CAN side, so it makes no sense to isolate a second time. Next, the power supply output from the PCAN-USB Pro FD is not able to handle the power of the PCAN-OptoAdapter, so you need external 5Volts to supply PCAN-OptoAdapter if you want a second isolation.

regards

Michael
