CAN ISA II Interface Card

PCAN-ISA II supports both 11 bit ID and  29 bit ID CAN specifications with a maximum speed of 1MBaud.  The ISA to CAN converter is ideal for use with standard form factor PCs.

PCAN-ISA II includes  source code for programs to control the CAN bus.  It also includes PCAN-VIEW a program which provides simple CAN diagnostics.

The PCAN-ISA uses the SJA1000 CAN-controller and the 82C251 driver.  The CAN-bus connection is via a 9-pin SUB-D plug, whose pin assignments conform to the CiA recommendation.  No termination is included in the interface.  The port addresses can be configured between 200h and 3A0h and the hardware interrupts can be configured to IRQ3, IRQ4, IRQ5, IRQ7, IRQ10, IRQ11, IRQ12 or IRQ15 (via jumpers). An interrupt can be shared by multiple PCAN-ISA cards.  Dual port and opto isolated versions are available if required.

The PCAN-Lite software package is included to drive the ISA module from within DOS, Windows 95/ 98/ ME/ 2K/ NT/ XP/ Vista.  It provides simple interfaces to C++, VB, Pascal and Delphi.  An active X component is also available.  The PCAN-VIEW package is a useful Windows diagnostic program that displays all messages on the bus as well as allowing manual creation of test messages. 

An optional set of VxD drives is available for time critical applications and the PCAN Explorer provides advanced CAN bus diagnostics and control capabilities.
