Description
The NI-9860 is a versatile automotive networking product, identified by its part numbers 157128C-02L, 783703-01, and 783703-03, designed to cater to a wide range of automotive networking requirements. This model offers a hardware-selectable High-Speed/Flexible Data-rate Controller Area Network (HS/FD CAN) and/or Local Interconnect Network (LIN) interface, providing flexibility in automotive communication protocols.
It operates efficiently within a power supply range of +9 to +30 V, which can be conveniently connected via the VSUP connector located on the module’s front panel. The power cable lead wires are color-coded, with the black wire serving as the COM (common ground) and the red wire as the VSUP (supply voltage), facilitating easy and error-free connections.
For applications requiring FlexRay communication, the NI-9860 incorporates NXP TJA1080 FlexRay buses per port, ensuring full compatibility with the FlexRay standard. This compatibility is crucial for automotive networks that demand high data rates and deterministic behavior, with the NI-9860 supporting FlexRay baud rates of up to 10 Mbps.
In addition to its robust communication capabilities, the NI-9860 is designed with power management in mind. It supports digital power management through a low-power sleep mode, which helps in reducing power consumption when the module is not actively communicating. Furthermore, FlexRay termination is software selectable, offering 80 ohms between Bus Plus and Bus Minus or no termination, catering to the needs of different automotive networking setups. However, it is important to note that termination for channel A and B cannot be set independently, which may influence the configuration decisions for certain applications.
