Help with Connecting Two USB-Based PCAN Devices Simultaneously

[abhishekbolar]

Hello,

I need assistance with connecting and using two different USB-based PCAN devices simultaneously. Both devices are single-channel. I can read and write data using one PCAN device, but I am having trouble figuring out how to use both devices in parallel.

Here are the details of my setup:

Pcan 1 Details
Device ID: 0xab
Part number: IPEH-002021/002022
API version: PCAN_USB 4.4.2.16701
Firmware version: 8.6.1

Pcan 2 Details
Device ID: 0xf1
Part number: IPEH-002021/002022
API version: PCAN_USB 4.4.2.16701
Firmware version: 8.6.1

Programming language: Java (JDK 21)
Using PCAN jars
Could you please guide me on how to achieve this?

Thank you!

Hello,

You do the exact same as you would do for the first device, initialize, read, write. Just use the corresponding handle of the second device. If you use two channels you will have to schedule read and write operations between the two. This could be done using events or using threading.
