Kvaser PCIe 8xCAN

The Kvaser PCIe 8xCAN (EAN 73-30130-01512-8) puts eight CAN and CAN FD channels on a single full-profile PCI Express card that needs only one x1 slot. It is a real-time, multi-channel interface built for dense CAN systems, and several boards can work together to capture tens of channels at once, as in automotive hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) rigs that often need around 20 CAN channels. Two splitter cables (00830-4 or 01412-1, sold separately) are needed to use all eight channels. Pertech is the authorized Kvaser sales representative in Israel.

PCIe 8xCAN highlights

• Eight CAN and CAN FD channels from one PCIe x1 slot
• CAN FD up to 8 Mbit/s and high-speed CAN (ISO 11898-2) up to 1 Mbit/s
• 1 µs timestamp resolution and up to 20,000 messages per second
• Error frame generation and detection, and silent mode for analysis tools
• Galvanic isolation
• Runs applications written for other Kvaser CAN hardware through CANlib, with SocketCAN support
• Compatible with J1939, CANopen, NMEA 2000 and DeviceNet (higher-layer handling in the user application)
• Several boards can be combined in one system

Where the PCIe 8xCAN fits

• Automotive hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test benches
• Test PCs that need many CAN channels without a box per bus
• Monitoring and logging many CAN buses in parallel
• Scaling to tens of channels with multiple boards
