Simplified CAN integration in .NET environments

With PCAN-Basic, CAN in Automation (CiA) member Peak-System offers a programming interface for connecting own programs to the CAN, both under Windows and Linux. The product allows the use in .NET development environments.

The programming interface PCAN-Basic for connecting own programs under Windows and Linux to CAN networks can now also be used in a .NET development environment. For this purpose, the company provides the PCAN-Basic.NET Assembly for free.

With the product it is possible to create applications for different .NET environments like .NET Core or .NET Framework. .NET Core is also applicable under Linux. The Assembly provides new classes for improved handling of the most important CAN operations, e.g. enhanced filtering and periodic transmission of CAN frames. A compatibility mode ensures the integration or porting of earlier .NET projects.

For integration into Microsoft development environments, the product is available for free as a package in the Nuget Gallery. Nuget is Microsoft's package manager for .NET.
