ICP DAS has provided a lot of RS-232/RS-485/RS-422 to CAN product solutions which are widely recommended in the market. The RS-232/RS-485/RS-422 to CAN converters can help users to implement the communication between RS-232/RS-485/RS-422 and CAN network. In order to cater to cost requirement, we provide a new solution of RS-232/RS-485/RS-422 to CAN converter-tM-7530A. The tM-7530A is a tiny RS-232/RS-485/RS-422 to CAN module; with its compact design, it can fit in small space. It has isolation on power end and CAN bus end; and its performance is faster than other RS-232/RS-485/RS-422 to CAN modules. The functions of tM-7530A are fully compatible with I-7530 and I-7530T. Besides, it provides new functions such as “listen only”. User can use this function to listen CAN bus messages and error detection. According to above features, tM-7530A is an cost-effective RS-232/RS-485/RS-422 to CAN converter solution.

The VxCAN Utility, a configuration, diagnostic and test software tool, is designed to unleash the power of all CAN products of ICP DAS. It is based on the Virtual CAN technique which creates the virtual CAN ports to match the physical CAN interfaces of the installed products (Users can refer to the web site for details about the Virtual CAN technique VxCAN Driver).

Therefore, by means of the VxCAN Utility, it is not necessary to adapt the various utilities or software interface due to the different CAN products. Users just need to focus on the project development and network diagnosis without concerning about what CAN product the system uses.

In order to satisfy in various applications, the VxCAN Utility provides not only the functions of sending and receiving CAN messages, but the functions for message trigger, group transmission and data record. Using these functions can help users to know what happen in the system network clearly, so that the system problems would be fixed more efficiently and simply.
