Description
The NI PXI-8513/2 is a Software-Selectable CAN Interface with a part number of 780688-01. It falls under the category of Automotive Networking Products and is designed to facilitate efficient communication and networking within automotive contexts. Despite its short description indicating a 2-port capability, the technical specifications list it as having 1 Port.
This device is capable of providing microsecond accuracy in its time stamps, ensuring precise data logging and synchronization. It supports an Outside Time Base and is capable of PXI/RTSI Activation, enhancing its flexibility and integration with other systems. For advanced applications, the PXI-8513 supports Triggering and Synchronization with NI CompactDAQ and NI CompactRIO chassis, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of automotive networking tasks.
Connectivity is facilitated through a 9-pin male D-SUB port connector, and the device boasts 7 I/O Trigger Lines for comprehensive control and interfacing options. A notable feature of the PXI-8513 is its DMA Motor, which significantly reduces system latency from milliseconds to microseconds, greatly enhancing performance in critical applications.
For those looking to manage and create databases for automotive networking, the NI-XNET Database Editor is supported, with compatibility for multiple database formats including ASAM FIBEX, NI-CAN (.NCD), and CANdb (.DBC). The PXI-8513 employs robust transceivers, including models from NXP and ON Semiconductor, ensuring reliable and high-performance communication.
Physically, the device is lightweight at only 3.5 oz and has compact dimensions of 6.3 x 3.9 inches, making it easy to integrate into various setups. It operates within a temperature range of 0 °C to 55 °C and can be stored in temperatures ranging from -20 °C to 70 °C. The operating humidity range is from 10% to 90%, allowing it to
