PCAN-PCI
One or two CAN channels for PCs with a PCI slot
PCAN-PCI is a plug-in card that gives a desktop or industrial PC with a conventional PCI slot one or two High-speed CAN channels. It covers classic CAN with 11-bit and 29-bit identifiers at up to 1 Mbit/s, which makes it a practical choice for keeping older test systems and machines running.
Each channel uses an NXP SJA1000 controller and an NXP PCA82C251 transceiver behind a standard D-Sub connector. The opto-decoupled versions isolate each channel separately from the PC, up to 500 V. A solder jumper can put 5 V on the CAN connector to feed an external bus converter.
Highlights
- 1 or 2 High-speed CAN channels (ISO 11898-2)
- CAN 2.0 A and 2.0 B, 5 kbit/s to 1 Mbit/s
- Optional 500 V isolation, separate for each channel
- NXP SJA1000 controller, 16 MHz clock
- Drivers for Windows 11, Windows 10 and Linux
- -40 to 85 C operating range
