Description
The PCI-CAN is a high-performance automotive networking product designed by National Instruments. This product holds the part number 777357-01 and falls within the category of Automotive Networking Products. It utilizes a CAN interface for communication, ensuring a robust and reliable connection in automotive applications.
For connecting to a PC, the PCI-CAN offers flexibility with two options: a 9-pin SUB-D connector or a 5-pin Combicon-style pluggable DeviceNet screw terminal. This ensures that users can easily integrate it into their existing setups without the need for complex adapters or connectors. The heart of its communication capabilities lies in the TJA1041 transceiver, known for its high-speed data transmission rates of up to 1000 kb/sec.
One of the standout features of the PCI-CAN is its optical isolation, which can withstand up to 500 volts, offering extra protection against voltage spikes and surges, common in automotive environments. This feature enhances the longevity and reliability of the device under harsh conditions.
Compatibility is a key aspect of the PCI-CAN, supporting a wide range of software including LabVIEW, C/C++, and various Windows operating systems like Windows 2000/NT/XP/Me/98, alongside NI-CAN driver software. This ensures that developers can easily integrate the PCI-CAN into their projects without worrying about software compatibility issues.
The device operates efficiently with a power requirement of 800 mA at +5 VDC, and it boasts a compact physical dimension of 4.2 x 6.9 inches. It is designed to operate within a temperature range of 0 to 55 °C and can be stored in temperatures ranging from –20 to 70 °C. Additionally, it can function optimally in varying humidity conditions, from 10% to 90%, non-condensing, making it versatile for different operating environments.
