PCAN-MicroMod FD ECU - Configurable Control Unit with I/O and CAN FD Connection

PEAK-System has released the PCAN-MicroMod FD ECU, a universal control unit for the integration of custom accessories in automotive applications. For this purpose, it provides a CAN FD connection as well as a mix of analog and digital I/Os, for example 16-bit analog inputs with configurable measuring ranges up to ±20 Volt or High-side output switches with up to 5 Ampere. The device is designed for use in commercial and heavy-duty vehicles under harsh conditions having a rugged IP67 housing and dual automotive connectors. Following successful testing, the PCAN-MicroMod FD ECU has received ECE type approval E1.

Configuration via Windows Software

As part of the PCAN-MicroMod FD product line, the device is configured with a free Windows software. In addition to simply mapping I/Os to CAN IDs, function blocks for processing the data are available. The configuration created on the computer is transferred via the CAN bus to the PCAN-MicroMod FD which then runs as a stand-alone CAN node. Multiple modules can be configured independently on a CAN bus.

The configuration software PCAN-MicroMod FD Configuration is available as a free download from the company's website. Working with the PCAN-MicroMod FD ECU requires the new version 2.0.0 of the configuration software.
