As stated in the README file, PCAN-USB Pro FD devices (item no. IPEH-004061) are already supported, but only the first channel (CAN1). To support also the second channel (CAN2) of PCAN-USB Pro FD devices is planned for the next major release (no release date specified).

Due to the user-space design of the driver it will never be possible to access a multichannel CAN device from different processes respectively Apps. Apple's IOUsbKit only allows one process to access an USB interface.

Hello, are there still plans to support CAN2? Would be very helpful for my projects.

At the moment there is no major release scheduled for the PCBUSB-Library.

A complete revision of the source code is in progress. This version will eventually support the CAN2 channel of PCAN-USB Pro FD devices. However, with the restriction that only one process at a time can access the device via USB. This means that it will never be possible to access CAN1 from App A and CAN2 from App B!
