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.
The Leaf Light v2 CB is the bare circuit board version of Kvaser's popular Leaf Light v2 interface - a single-channel, high speed, USB-to-CANbus interface. Having made its name as the work-horse of USB to CAN interfaces, Kvaser's Leaf Light product series provides reliable, low cost connection to the PC.
The Kvaser Leaf Light HS V2 CB is a high speed USB interface for CAN that offers loss free transmission and reception of standard and extended CAN messages on the CAN bus.
Both USB and CAN are connected using 6-way connectors and mate with Molex 51021 PicoBladeTM (e.g. housing 51021-0600 and terminal 50079-8000).
8000 messages per second, each time-stamped with 100 microsecond accuracy.
Supports both 11-bit (CAN 2.0A) and 29-bit (CAN 2.0B active) identifiers.
High-speed CAN connection (compliant with ISO 11898-2), up to 1 Mbit/s.
Galvanic isolation, enhancing protection from power surges or electrical shocks.
Local buffering and preprocessing results in high performance and a reduction of time critical tasks for the PC.

DRIVER
Kvaser DIADEM driver
This free driver for National Instrument's DIAdem supports all CAN hardware from Kvaser.
Windows drivers for all our CAN hardware.
Please check release notes for information on which Windows versions are supported.
It also contain a driver for the virtual CAN bus.
A free of charge, general-purpose CAN bus monitor. Works with all CAN interfaces from Kvaser. Windows 2000 or later is recommended but Windows 98 should also work.
Software development kit - everything you need to develop software for the Kvaser CAN and LIN interfaces. Link libraries, header files, sample programs, Microsoft Visual Basic and Borland Delphi components, documentation, and more. Note: you need to download and install the appropriate device drivers separately.
