Robot USB-to-CAN interface evidence table

Host-to-CAN adapters compared at the protocol, timestamp, isolation, environmental and driver layers.

4 component records7 comparison fieldsUpdated 2026-08-10
Scope

Dual- and single-channel classical CAN and CAN FD interfaces used for robot commissioning, control and diagnostics.

Do not flatten

CAN, CAN FD, CANopen and device-specific application protocols are different layers. A USB adapter does not make host timing deterministic.

Values are transcribed from the linked sources and were checked on the date shown by each record. V = independently verified; M = manufacturer claimed; D = RCI derived; C = conflicting; U = unknown.

Interpretation rule

The condition belongs to the number.

RCI does not compute winners from this audit sample. The table’s purpose is to show what can be compared now, what requires a shared test, and which public fields are still missing.
