CAN PC/104 and PC/104-Plus interfaces

PCAN-PC/104s supports both 11 bit ID and  29 bit ID CAN specifications with a maximum speed of 1MBaud.  The PC/104 to CAN converters are ideal for use with embedded applications.

PCAN-PC/104s include  source code for programs to control the CAN bus.  They also includes PCAN-VIEW a program which provides simple CAN diagnostics.

The PCAN-PC/104 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.  Fourteen different I/O-addresses (200h –3A0h) and eight different IRQ-maps (3, 4, 5, 7, 10, 11, 12 and 15) are jumper selectable.  It is also possible to work with more than one module in a PC/104 computer simultaneously sharing interrupts.  Dual channel opto isolated versions are available if required.

The PCAN-PC/104-Plus is a high performance PCI version of the interface and up to 4 cards can be stacked if required. It uses the SJA1000 CAN-controller and the 82C251 driver.  The CAN-bus connection is via a 10-pin upright connector to which the bracket supplied with the 9-pin D-SUB connector fits No termination is included in the interface.  Dual channel and opto isolated versions are available if required.

The PCAN-Lite software package is included to drive the PC/104 modules 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.
