Technical specifications
The BMS USB-CAN interface adapter provides conversion of USB bus signals to CAN bus signals. After connection to a PC the device is recognized as a virtual COM port.
The adapter includes a switch to connect the 120 Ohm terminal resistor to CAN lines. Also, it has a 5 Volts external power supply switch.
The adapter is compatible with following operating systems: Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1, Windows 10, Mac OS 8/9, Mac OS X, Linux 2.4 and above.
The BMS USB-CAN interface adapter performs the following functions:
- conversion of USB interface signals to CAN two-wire trunk interface signals with galvanic isolation (Vrms = 1000V);
- power supply and information exchange with BMS devices using the ElectricDeviceMonitor software.

Connection diagram
Figure below shows an option to connect the BMS USB-CAN to the CAN bus, which already integrates several devices. If the BMS USB-CAN is the last device on the bus, the 120 Ohm switch must be set to position "1".
Safety regulations
The BMS USB-CAN device can be connected to devices with a high voltage level that is dangerous to life and health. When working with high voltage devices, follow the rules of electrical safety: use safety goggles, protective clothing, insulated tools, and devices.
