Stationary access to CAN/CANopen networks The interface is CAN PCI from ifak system provides a cost sensitive solution for the stationary access to a CAN or CANopen network. The interface was designed as an active component, meaning that it contains its own microprocessor. This microprocessor handles all the time-critical tasks on the CAN bus. Regardless of the performance of the host PC a maximum of security against the loss of date due to PC overload is guaranteed. The data exchange between host PC and interface takes places via a 2 KByte DP-RAM.
The is CAN PCI interface supports the CAN specification 2.0A (11 bit ID) and 2.0B (29 bit ID). It is connected with a 9 pin D-Sub connector according to the CiA specification DS-102. The interface can be upgraded to run as CANopen device by downloading the respective firmware.
The interface is available with galvanic decoupling only. It supports a transmission speed of up to 1 MBit/s. With the included driver DLL user-specific applications can be integrated easily. The DLL works under the operating systems Windows 9x, ME, XP, 2000 and NT 4.0.
The experienced CAN OPC-Server and the system bus server for the set-up software GDC are running with the new interface. [product details]
