PCAN-miniPCIe
Classic CAN for laptops and embedded PCs with a PCI Express Mini slot
PCAN-miniPCIe connects embedded PCs and laptops that have a PCI Express Mini slot to CAN networks. It comes as a single-channel or dual-channel card.
Each channel is galvanically isolated from the computer up to 300 V. The CAN buses connect through a cable with a 9-pin D-Sub plug per channel, and the card ships with drivers, PCAN-View and PCAN-Basic.
