By using a Virtual CAN Bus, we separate the control task from other tasks. The distributed embedded control system can be developed using standard CAN Controllers and transceivers in a traditional way with well proven tools.
Other tasks such as encryption, transmitter authentication, re-flashing, etc. can be developed by experts in these fields and carried out by using other protocols. With modern technology, the different tasks can run in parallel and simultaneously communicate on the same physical layer.
It is a great advantage to separate the control problems from other problems. The control problem can be solved once and for all by the control experts and other problems by experts in their respective technology fields.
Kvaser Hybrid Pro 2xCAN/LIN is a flexible, dual channel interface that allows each channel to be assigned independently as CAN, CAN FD or LIN. This makes the Kvaser Hybrid Pro 2xCAN/LIN a must-have ’universal interface’ for every engineer involved in automotive communications!
The Kvaser Hybrid Pro 2xCAN/LIN offers advanced features such as support for CAN FD, Silent Mode, Single Shot, Error Frame Generation and Kvaser MagiSync automatic clock synchronization. As a Pro-level device, this interface can host user-developed programs, created using resources provided within Kvaser’s free CANlib SDK. These can be designed to accomplish a range of advanced tasks, such as CAN node simulation and CAN flashing, or create a LIN to CAN gateway. Guidance and code examples are provided.
• Hybrid USB CAN/LIN two channel interface with two separate 9-pin D-SUBs.
• t programs allow users to customise the Hybrid Pro 2xCAN/LIN’s behaviour.
• Supports High Speed CAN (ISO 11898-2) up to 1Mbit/s and LIN 2.2A (ISO 17987 Part 1-7) up to 20 kbit/s.
• Supports CAN FD (ISO 11898-1) up to 5 Mbit/s (with correct physical layer implementation).
• Capable of sending up to 20000 messages per second, per CAN channel, time-stamped with a 1 microsecond accuracy.
• USB powered (bus V reference required for LIN).
• Kvaser MagiSync – automatic time synchronization between MagiSync-enabled Kvaser interfaces connected to the same PC.
• Single shot function ensures that failed CAN transmissions will not retry.
• CAN Error Frame Generation and Error Counters.
• LED lights indicate device status.
• Fully compatible with J1939, CANopen, NMEA 2000 and DeviceNet.
• Supplied with Kvaser CANlib and Kvaser LINlib, free software APIs that are common to all Kvaser hardware and enable the channels to be configured intuitively and fast.
• Extended operating temperature range from -40 to 85 °C.

Software
Documentation, Kvaser CANlib SDK and drivers can be downloaded for free at www.kvaser.com/downloads.
Kvaser CANlib SDK is a free resource that includes everything you need to develop software for the Kvaser CAN and LIN interfaces. Includes full documentation and many program samples, written in C, C , C#, Delphi, Visual Basic, Python, as well as Kvaser’s t Programming language.
All Kvaser CAN interface boards share the common software API, CANlib SDK. Programs written for one interface type will run without modifications on the other interface types.
