Compact Diagnostic Device for CAN & CAN FD Buses

IPEH-003070: This product is currently on backorder from the manufacturer. Expected availability is mid-August 2026.

The PCAN-MiniDiag FD is a compact, low-cost handheld device for basic diagnostics and verification of CAN and CAN-FD buses. Service technicians and developers can easily access networks of vehicles, machines or industrial equipment on site whose configuration is unknown. For this purpose, the nominal bit rate for CAN and the data bit rate for CAN FD are determined by bit-timing measurements. In addition, the device has measurement functions for termination, bus load and the levels applied to the CAN connection.

The PCAN-MiniDiag FD has a high degree of protection due to the membrane keypad and its housing. The power supply is provided by three replaceable batteries.

The CAN FD (CAN with Flexible Data rate) standard is characterized above all by higher bandwidths for data transmission. The maximum 64 data bytes of a CAN FD frame (instead of 8 previously) can be transmitted at bit rates of up to 10 Mbit/s. CAN FD is backwards compatible with the CAN standard 2.0 A/B, so that CAN FD nodes can be used in existing CAN networks. However, the CAN-FD extensions are not applicable.
