Description
“`
The product with the part number 779794-01 is a model USB-8476, categorized under Automotive Networking Products. It is described as a 1 Port, USB LIN Interface, designed to facilitate robust communication within automotive networks. This device is compatible with J2602, LIN 1.3, and LIN 2.0 standards, making it versatile for various automotive communication needs.
The USB-8476 features an ATA6620 LIN transceiver from Atmel, ensuring reliable data transmission. It supports a transmission rate of up to 20 kb/s, suitable for handling typical LIN network data traffic efficiently. For software integration, it is compatible with a wide range of development environments including Windows-compatible driver, NI Spy, Bus Monitor, LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, Visual C++ 6, Borland C/C++, and Microsoft Visual Basic. This broad compatibility ensures that developers can easily incorporate the USB-8476 into their projects, regardless of the software environment they are using.
Configuration and management of the USB-8476 are facilitated through the Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX), a powerful tool for setting up and controlling NI hardware. The device is designed to be USB Bus Powered, with a power consumption of 200 mA at 5 VDC, eliminating the need for an external power source and simplifying its integration into automotive systems. Connection to other devices is achieved via a 9-pin DB9 connector, a standard in automotive and industrial applications.
Additionally, a variant named USB-8476S is available for users requiring synchronization capabilities, offering flexibility for more complex automotive networking projects. The physical dimensions of the non-synchronization version are 3.1 x 2.5 x 1.0 in., while the synchronization-capable variant dimensions may vary.
