The PCI-CAN (Part number: 777357-01) is a high-speed CAN Interface Device designed by National Instruments. This model is a controller area network interface device used to develop CAN applications. The PCI-CAN Interface Device is linked to a PC through a 9-pin SUB-D connector. This device offers different advanced filtering modes. These filtering modes are listen-only modes and support self-reception. The built-in software of the device is the NI-CAN driver software. The NI-CAN software features a high-level frame API. This feature makes the PCI-CAN ideal for rapid application development. The PCI-CAN is specifically designed for CAN-based in-vehicle (automotive) networks. This network connects the various components inside a vehicle. The PCI-CAN CAN Interface Device is compatible with physical as well as electrical demands for the in-vehicle networks.
The PCI-CAN CAN Interface Device is a single port device. The PCI-CAN device incorporates a TJA1041 transceiver. This device can transmit data at a maximum speed of 1000 kb/sec. An optical isolation up to 500 volts is also provided in the PCI-CAN CAN Interface Device. The PCI-CAN device is compatible with a desktop, network, or industrial PC. The CAN Interface Device also features support for LabVIEW software, as well as Windows 2000/NT/XP/Me/98.
The PCI-CAN device is suitable for a wide range of CAN applications. The device is used in industry and research applications. This device is mainly used in factory automation applications. The PCI-CAN is ideal for the automotive industry for testing and diagnostics, but it can also be used in research for prototype designing.
