Description
The National Instruments PXI-8462 PXI CAN Interface Module, part number 185316F-23, falls under the category of Automotive Networking Products. This model, the PXI-8462, is a Double CAN Interface Module designed to facilitate robust communication within automotive networks.
It is fully compatible with PXI and CompactPCI Specifications, ensuring it can be seamlessly integrated into existing systems. The module is equipped with two ports: Port 1 supports High-speed communication (ISO 11898), while Port 2 is designed for Low-speed communication (ISO 11519-2). This versatility allows for a wide range of communication speeds and protocols within automotive networking environments.
The power supply for the CAN physical layer can be sourced either internally from the board or externally from the bus link power, providing flexibility in power management. Connection to the network is achieved through DB-9 D-Sub connectors, a standard in the industry for reliable and secure connections.
Synchronization across multiple functions is managed using the RTSI bus, ensuring that data flow and communication timing are precisely coordinated. At the heart of the module is an Intel 386EX embedded processor, which handles the computational requirements of CAN communication efficiently.
The module comes with NI-CAN software, facilitating easier setup and management of the network. For the low-speed CAN termination, it requires termination at the low-speed CAN transceiver, ensuring signal integrity and reducing noise on the network. The low-speed CAN configuration supports a 2 to 32 nodes configuration, making it suitable for networks of various sizes.
Control over the energy source for the CAN physical layer is provided by jumper J5 (Port 1) and J6 (Port 2), offering users the ability to customize their setup according to specific power requirements. Despite being announced as obsolete by National Instruments, this module remains available for purchase and repairs through
