Flexible Design

Configure the Komodo CAN Solo interface as either an adapter or a non-intrusive analyzer.

Full Featured CAN Adapter

The Komodo CAN Solo Interface can operate as a CAN node, to send and receive messages. Communicate with any type of CAN network, from automotive systems to industrial controls. The Komodo interface operates at up to a maximum bitrate of 1 Mbps.

True Real-Time Monitoring

Non-intrusively monitor a CAN bus and see the data as it is captured. The Komodo interface is independently, galvanically isolated and can capture CAN data at up to 1 Mbps.

GPIO

The 8 GPIO pins can be configured for input or output, allowing the Komodo interface to communicate with external logic.

Industrial Grade

The Komodo CAN Solo Interface is rated for operating temperatures from -40°C to +85°C (non-condensing).

Low Cost

The Komodo CAN Solo Interface comes complete with a royalty-free API. There are no yearly support contracts and no fees for software updates.

The low cost makes it affordable for a company to provide every developer with their own interface. The benefits of every developer having their own interface are:

• Less time wasted because developers do not have to share tools or go to the lab to debug simple problems.
• Less wasted time means higher productivity because developers can identify and fix problems quickly and easily with less down-time.
• Higher productivity means shorter development cycles. Projects get done on time and on budget.

By saving just a few hours of engineering time, the Komodo CAN Solo Interface will have paid for itself.

Future-Proof

The Komodo interface is completely field-upgradable via USB. Total Phase is committed to improving the Komodo interface and making these improvements available to our customers free of charge. There are no yearly support contracts and no software update fees.

You will never have to worry about being out of step with the latest software features. Software and firmware upgrades are always freely available in the Downloads section of this website.

Compatibility

The Komodo CAN Interfaces were engineered from the very beginning to be a cross-platform device. The software and utilities for the Komodo interface function on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X so that you can develop software for your preferred platform.

Windows

The software is officially supported on Windows XP (SP2 or later, 32-bit and 64-bit), Windows Vista (32-bit and 64-bit), Windows 7 (32-bit and 64-bit), and Windows 8 (32-bit and 64-bit).

Linux

The software has been designed for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5 with kernel 2.6. Customers have reported successful operation with SuSE and Ubuntu distributions. Please be aware that there may be significant differences and idiosyncrasies in the way that different distributions of Linux operate. As such, Total Phase may not be able to support your particular distribution of Linux. Support will be offered on a case-by-case basis.

Mac OS X

The software is supported on Intel versions of Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, 10.6 Snow Leopard, 10.7 Lion, and 10.8 Mountain Lion.

64-bit Support

The graphical software will run on 64-bit Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X systems as a 32-bit application. However, separate 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the API libraries are provided to allow custom applications to be built for either architecture.
