Description
The AT-CAN/2, manufactured by National Instruments, is a dual-port Controller Area Network Interface that features 9-pin D-Sub connectors and utilizes an ISA form factor. It is built around the Philips SJA1000 CAN controller and is compatible with CAN 2.0B, capable of supporting data transfer rates of up to 1 Mbps. The device is powered by an Intel 386EX embedded processor and adheres to NI-CAN software standards.
Compliance with ISO 11898 standards ensures that the interface meets international requirements for controller area networks, and it supports both low and high-speed fault-tolerant physical layers. The AT-CAN/2 is also compatible with the Real-Time System Integration (RTSI) bus, which allows for synchronization of multiple interface cards. With a built-in MITE bus interface chip, the device complies with Local Bus Specifications, enabling reliable communication with CAN devices.
Users can select between various physical layers, including Single Wire, External Transceiver, High-Speed, and Low-Speed, to tailor the interface to specific needs. The inclusion of the Philips TJA1041 transceiver for high-speed applications ensures robust performance and enhanced voltage tolerance.
