Reliable, Stand-Alone CAN-to-I/O Converter — 4 Configurable Channels + PWM
Convert real-time CAN bus messages into analog or digital I/O signals with the CANverter. This compact, stand-alone module operates independently once configured — no need for external tools or run-time software.
The I/O module can either send a signal on a CAN bus or send CAN data to an external acquisition system. Its lightweight and compact size makes it portable and simple to install just about anywhere.
Product Features:
- ✅ Stand-alone device — no runtime software or external tools needed
- ✅ Accepts CAN data from any source
- ✅ Configure once, then deploy for autonomous signal generation
- ✅ 4 I/O channels configurable as analog (0 to 5V) or digital
- ✅ Includes dedicated PWM output channel
- ✅ Compact, durable, and trusted in automotive labs worldwide

CAN to I/O Latency | The CANverter runs a 1ms loop. There should not be more than 1ms of latency between the receipt of a CAN Message and the Analog output updating. The CANverter can send out up to 3 CAN massages in 1ms intervals. When you get to 4 messages it drops 2ms intervals. |
