Description
The National Instruments PXI-8462 PXI CAN Interface Module, with part number 185316C-23, falls under the category of Automotive Networking Products. This module has been specifically designed to be compatible with PXI or Compact PCI chassis, showcasing its versatility in various automotive networking environments.
The PXI-8462 model is a Double CAN Interface Module, equipped with two distinct ports for comprehensive connectivity options. Port One is configured as a high-speed port following the ISO 11898 standard, which is ideal for applications requiring rapid data transfer. Conversely, Port Two offers a low-speed port configuration compliant with the ISO 11519-2 standard, catering to applications with lower data transfer speed requirements.
One of the key features of this module is its flexibility in terms of CAN Physical Layer Power, which can be supplied either internally (from the board) or externally (from the bus link power), ensuring adaptability in various operating conditions. Connectivity is facilitated through DB-9 D-Sub connectors, ensuring easy integration into existing systems.
The heart of this module is powered by an Intel 386EX embedded processor, providing robust processing capabilities to handle the demands of automotive networking tasks. It is supported by NI-CAN software, which offers a comprehensive suite of tools for efficient configuration and operation of CAN networks.
For low-speed CAN termination, the module requires one resistor for each CAN line, ensuring signal integrity across the network. It supports a low-speed CAN configuration of two to 32 nodes, offering flexibility in network size and complexity. Finally, the power configurations for Port One and Port Two are determined by Jumper J5, allowing for custom power setup based on specific requirements.
