The CAN-4P-PE is an industrial-grade, PCI Express-compliant board designed to extend CAN (Controller Area Network) communication functionality to PCs, supporting up to four independent CAN2.0B channels with speeds of up to 1Mbps. Ideal for complex industrial environments, each channel on this board is electrically isolated from both the PC and other channels, providing robust protection against electrical noise and ensuring stable, uninterrupted communication.
Key Features and Benefits:
- Independent CAN2.0B Communication: The CAN-4P-PE features four individual CAN communication ports on a single board, each managed by its own CAN controller. This design allows channels to operate independently, making it versatile for applications with varied communication requirements across channels.
- Enhanced Buffer Capacity: Each channel is equipped with dedicated transmit and receive FIFO buffers, capable of storing up to 64 messages per channel. The board also includes shared buffers with additional capacity, preventing message loss even under high bus loads.
- Electrical Isolation & Surge Protection: The board's isolation design minimizes the risk of interference and electrical noise, with built-in surge protection on all signal lines to ensure resilience and data integrity across each channel.
- Configurable Terminating Resistors and Connectivity: Users can enable or disable terminating resistors via an onboard switch, and the included distribution cable simplifies integration with existing CAN networks by providing a standard 9-pin D-SUB connector.
- Seamless Windows Integration: Compatible with Windows, the CAN-4P-PE includes a driver API-TOOL for easy integration, allowing developers to create applications that leverage the board’s full functionality.
Application Versatility Built for industries requiring reliable, high-speed CAN communication, the CAN-4P-PE is suited for applications in automation, automotive diagnostics, robotics, and any environment where secure and resilient CAN bus communication is critical.
