General description :
CONV001-CAN-USB converter The CONV001-CAN-USB works primarly as a bridge between a CAN network (Controller Area Network) on one side, and an USB port (Universal Serial Bus) on the other side. In a typical application CONV001-CAN-USB connects a desktop computer (USB) with one or more CAN enabled modules.

The CONV001-CAN-USB is meant to control a CNC ready mill or lathe. A RS274/NGC (G-codes) design is uploaded from a desktop computer and stored in onboard non volatile memory. With a command from the desktop computer this program will be processed. CONV001-CAN-USB will send processed information to the connected CAN modules (e.g. STEPPER001-CAN-USB). Tasks performed by the CONV001-CAN-USB are : control mill or lath, proces G-codes and send to modules, send mill or lath status information to desktop computer.

Applications :

  • Do It Yourself (DIY) Computer Numerical Control (CNC)
  • Evaluation, monitoring or testing a CAN network
  • Desktop computer as node in a CAN network
