PCAN-miniPCIe FD: CAN FD Interface for PCI Express Mini Slot

EAN: IPEH-004046

What is the PCAN-miniPCIe FD and its features?

The PCAN-miniPCIe FD is a CAN interface for the PCI Express Mini slot. With its space-saving format, the plug-in card is a suitable solution for connecting embedded systems to up to four CAN FD and CAN networks. There is galvanic isolation of up to 300 Volts between the computer and CAN sides. The card is available as a single, dual, or four-channel version.

The CAN FD standard (CAN with Flexible Data rate) is primarily characterized by higher bandwidth for data transfer. The maximum of 64 data bytes per CAN FD frame (instead of 8 so far) can be transmitted with bit rates up to 12 Mbit/s. CAN FD is downward-compatible to the CAN 2.0 A/B standard, thus CAN FD nodes can be used in existing CAN networks. However, in this case the CAN FD extensions are not applicable.

The monitor software PCAN-View and the programming interface PCAN-Basic for the development of applications with CAN connection are included in the scope of supply and support the standard CAN FD.
