CAN card is CAN-FD ready
A highly integrated, high speed CAN card that adds four high speed CAN channels to any standard computer board with PCIe capability has been introduced by Kvaser. Offering silent mode, error frame detection/generation and an on-board buffer, the Kvaser PCIEcan 4xHS fits many embedded data acquisition systems and is CAN-FD ready.
The device has an average response time of 45µs. An onboard buffer ensures that there is no risk of the card ‘dropping’ messages, meaning that the Kvaser PCIEcan 4xHS is as robust as it is responsive. This is useful in 'ping-pong protocols' such as firmware updates.
Operating across a 0 to +85°C temperature range, the CAN card is fully compatible with J1939, CANopen, NMEA 2000 and DeviceNet. The device, which features galvanically isolated CAN bus drivers, is designed for both standard and industrial computers.
Kvaser’s PCIEcan boards are supported by device drivers and program examples for Windows and Linux. The boards share a common software API, Kvaser CANLIB, which is free to download. Kvaser CanKing, a general purpose interactive CAN bus monitor, can also be downloaded free of charge.
Lars-Berno Fredriksson, President, Kvaser, commented: “The Kvaser PCIEcan 4xHS is by far our fastest network card ever. With an in-house developed CAN-controller, implemented in an FPGA, no compromises have been made in terms of message speed.”
