PCAN-PCI Express: Isolated High-Speed CAN Card for PCIe

PCAN-PCI Express
description

PCAN-PCI Express

Isolated classic CAN channels for a PCIe x1 slot

PCAN-PCI Express is a plug-in card that gives a desktop or industrial PC direct access to High-speed CAN networks through a PCIe x1 slot. It is offered with one or two channels.

Every channel has its own galvanic isolation, rated up to 500 V, between the CAN side and the computer. The CAN controller runs in an FPGA and is SJA1000 compatible. A solder jumper can switch on a 5 V feed at the D-Sub connector, for example to power an external bus converter.

Highlights

  • 1 or 2 High-speed CAN channels on PCIe x1
  • Galvanic isolation up to 500 V, separate per channel
  • CAN 2.0 A/B, 5 kbit/s to 1 Mbit/s
  • FPGA-based, SJA1000-compatible CAN controller
  • Optional 5 V on the CAN connector via solder jumper
  • -40 to 85 C operating range

What are the available PCAN-PCI Express versions and channel configurations?

  • IPEH-003026: PCAN-PCI Express Single Channel, galvanically isolated
  • IPEH-003027: PCAN-PCI Express Dual Channel, galvanically isolated
  • The four-channel version is no longer built; for four channels, use the PCAN-PCI Express FD Four Channel

What software and drivers are included with the PCAN-PCI Express?

  • 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
