PCAN-PCI Express FD
Isolated CAN FD channels for desktop and industrial PCs
PCAN-PCI Express FD is a PCIe x1 plug-in card that connects a PC to CAN FD and classic CAN networks. It comes with one, two or four channels.
Each channel is galvanically isolated from the computer up to 500 V and has its own solder-jumper termination. The FPGA-based controller moves data by bus master DMA, measures bus load including error frames and can generate errors on purpose for testing.
Highlights
- 1, 2 or 4 CAN FD channels on PCIe x1
- Galvanic isolation up to 500 V per channel
- CAN FD up to 12 Mbit/s, ISO and Non-ISO
- Bus master DMA with 32-bit and 64-bit addressing
- Bus load measurement and error generation
- -40 to 85 C operating range
Versions
- IPEH-004026: PCAN-PCI Express FD Single Channel
- IPEH-004027: PCAN-PCI Express FD Dual Channel
- IPEH-004040: PCAN-PCI Express FD Four Channel
Software
- Device drivers for Windows 11 (x64) and 10 (x64), and for Linux
- PCAN-View, a CAN monitor for Windows
- PCAN-Basic, the API for writing your own CAN applications
- Programming interfaces for standard automotive protocols
