Description
The PCMCIA-CAN Series 2, with the part number 188520C-01, is a product of National Instruments. This device falls under the category of Automotive Networking Products and is designed to facilitate robust communication in automotive applications. It operates on a CAN (Controller Area Network) interface, which is a standard designed to allow microcontrollers and devices to communicate with each other without a host computer.
At the heart of its functionality is the TJA1041 transceiver, which is known for its high-speed capabilities and reliable performance in automotive environments. The device supports a variety of compatible software, including the NI-CAN driver, LabVIEW, Visual Basic 6, C/C++, and LabWindows. This wide range of software compatibility ensures that users can easily integrate the PCMCIA-CAN Series 2 into their existing systems without the need for extensive modifications.
The device is compatible with several operating systems, including Windows 2000/NT/XP/Me/98, as well as LabVIEW Real-Time, offering flexibility in terms of system requirements and deployment environments. With a maximum transfer rate of 1000 kb/s, it is capable of handling demanding communication tasks efficiently.
It features 1 port and offers flexibility in terms of power supply, supporting both internal (Onboard DC converter) and external (Voltage regulator from CAN bus) power sources. The connectivity options are versatile, thanks to its 9-pin male D-Sub and Combicon-style removable screw terminal connector types, ensuring easy and secure connections.
Despite being announced as obsolete, the PCMCIA-CAN Series 2 remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves, providing users with continued access to this reliable and essential tool for automotive networking applications.
