PCAN Basic API¶
Interface to Peak-System’s PCAN-Basic API.
Windows driver: https://www.peak-system.com/Downloads.76.0.html?&L=1
Linux driver: https://www.peak-system.com/fileadmin/media/linux/index.htm#download and https://www.peak-system.com/Downloads.76.0.html?&L=1 (PCAN-Basic API (Linux))
Mac driver: http://www.mac-can.com
Configuration¶
Here is an example configuration file for using PCAN-USB:
[default]
interface = pcan
channel = PCAN_USBBUS1
state = can.bus.BusState.PASSIVE
bitrate = 500000
channel
: (default PCAN_USBBUS1) CAN interface name
state
: (default can.bus.BusState.ACTIVE) BusState of the channel
bitrate
: (default 500000) Channel bitrate
Valid channel
values:
PCAN_ISABUSx
PCAN_DNGBUSx
PCAN_PCIBUSx
PCAN_USBBUSx
PCAN_PCCBUSx
PCAN_LANBUSx
Where x
should be replaced with the desired channel number starting at 1.
Linux installation¶
Kernels >= 3.4 supports the PCAN adapters natively via SocketCAN, refer to: PCAN.
Bus¶

class
can.interfaces.pcan.
PcanBus
(channel='PCAN_USBBUS1', state=<BusState.ACTIVE: 1>, bitrate=500000, *args, **kwargs)[source]¶ Bases:
can.bus.BusABC
A PCAN USB interface to CAN.
On top of the usual
Bus
methods provided, the PCAN interface includes theflash()
andstatus()
methods.Parameters: - channel (str) – The can interface name. An example would be ‘PCAN_USBBUS1’ Default is ‘PCAN_USBBUS1’
- state (can.bus.BusState) – BusState of the channel. Default is ACTIVE
- bitrate (int) – Bitrate of channel in bit/s. Default is 500 kbit/s. Ignored if using CanFD.
- fd (bool) – Should the Bus be initialized in CAN-FD mode.
- f_clock (int) – Clock rate in Hz. Any of the following: 20000000, 24000000, 30000000, 40000000, 60000000, 80000000. Ignored if not using CAN-FD. Pass either f_clock or f_clock_mhz.
- f_clock_mhz (int) – Clock rate in MHz. Any of the following: 20, 24, 30, 40, 60, 80. Ignored if not using CAN-FD. Pass either f_clock or f_clock_mhz.
- nom_brp (int) – Clock prescaler for nominal time quantum. In the range (1..1024) Ignored if not using CAN-FD.
- nom_tseg1 (int) – Time segment 1 for nominal bit rate, that is, the number of quanta from (but not including) the Sync Segment to the sampling point. In the range (1..256). Ignored if not using CAN-FD.
- nom_tseg2 (int) – Time segment 2 for nominal bit rate, that is, the number of quanta from the sampling point to the end of the bit. In the range (1..128). Ignored if not using CAN-FD.
- nom_sjw (int) – Synchronization Jump Width for nominal bit rate. Decides the maximum number of time quanta that the controller can resynchronize every bit. In the range (1..128). Ignored if not using CAN-FD.
- data_brp (int) – Clock prescaler for fast data time quantum. In the range (1..1024) Ignored if not using CAN-FD.
- data_tseg1 (int) – Time segment 1 for fast data bit rate, that is, the number of quanta from (but not including) the Sync Segment to the sampling point. In the range (1..32). Ignored if not using CAN-FD.
- data_tseg2 (int) – Time segment 2 for fast data bit rate, that is, the number of quanta from the sampling point to the end of the bit. In the range (1..16). Ignored if not using CAN-FD.
- data_sjw (int) – Synchronization Jump Width for fast data bit rate. Decides the maximum number of time quanta that the controller can resynchronize every bit. In the range (1..16). Ignored if not using CAN-FD.
-
flash
(flash)[source]¶ Turn on or off flashing of the device’s LED for physical identification purposes.
-
send
(msg, timeout=None)[source]¶ Transmit a message to the CAN bus.
Override this method to enable the transmit path.
Parameters: - msg (can.Message) – A message object.
- timeout (float or None) – If > 0, wait up to this many seconds for message to be ACK’ed or for transmit queue to be ready depending on driver implementation. If timeout is exceeded, an exception will be raised. Might not be supported by all interfaces. None blocks indefinitely.
Raises: can.CanError – if the message could not be sent
-
shutdown
()[source]¶ Called to carry out any interface specific cleanup required in shutting down a bus.
-
state
¶ Return the current state of the hardware
Type: can.BusState
