National Instruments PCI-CAN/2 CAN Interface Device
The PCI-CAN/2 (Part number: 777357-02) is an advanced Controller Area Network Interface from National Instruments. The NI PCI-CAN/2 is a dual port high speed CAN Interface. This device is compatible to operate with other devices with perfect timing and synchronization of the hardware. The other devices this model is compatible with include NI data acquisition, motion, and vision devices. The PCI-CAN/2 Series 2 device implements an optical isolation technique for testing. The NI PCI-CAN/2 also includes a feature to timestamp the hardware.
The NI PCI-CAN/2 is the high-speed version for CAN interfacing. The device comes with a built-in transceiver module, TJA1041. It has an ISO 11898 interface type. The transfer rate of this model is one thousand kb per second, and it has minimum baud rate of 40 kbps. The typical value of the current rating of the National Instruments PCI-CAN Series 2 device is 850 milli-amperes. The physical dimensions are 8.150 x 4.4 inches. This device also DB 9 connector for each channel, which enables the model to handle input or output data streams for measurements. The user has the flexibility to program the controls of the NI PCI-CAN/2 through software.
The PCI-CAN/2 interface device operates using the NI-DNET hardware and NI-CAN software which provides Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) such as LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, Microsoft C/C++, Microsoft Visual Basic, Borland C/C++; configuration and analysis tools within the Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) such as configurator, analyzer, and NI I/O trace. The device has a 9-pin male D-SUB I/O connector for its 2 ports. The device has a power requirement of +5 VDC to 850 mA.
The NI PCI-CAN/2 comes with an 80386EX Microprocessor chip from Intel. It enables the transfer capabilities for the time CAN frame. It has applications in areas involving testing or design requirements. These requirements may include machine control, diagnostics, and equipment automation. The National Instruments PCI-CAN/2 CAN Interface Device is easy and flexible to use with several different operating systems, such as Windows 2000/NT/XP/Me/98 and LabVIEW Real-Time. The device has the dimensions: 4.2 x 6.9 in.; and an operational ambient temperature range of 0 to 55 °C.
While the PCI-CAN/2 is no longer available directly from the manufacturer National Instruments, the CAN Interface Device will remain available in perpetuity with Apex Waves for both purchase and repair services!

National Instruments PCI-CAN/2 Frequently Asked Questions
Question: If I have high speed PCI CAN/2 Series 2 cards that are many years old, is there any need to calibrate these cards to enhance performance?
Answer: No, there is no need for calibration for the PCI CAN/2.
Question: What are the changes between the Series 2 and the original PCI/PXI CAN modules?
Answer: Either DeviceNet or CAN could be used for Series 1 boards to communicate, whereas Series 2 boards have different products for this function. Series 2 phased out the Series 1 cards, so Series 1 requires an older version of the NI-CAN driver.
Question: What is the difference between hardware in CAN kits and DeviceNet kits?
Answer: The DB-9 D-SUB connection is used in CAN kit hardware, while the combicon-style connection from the DeviceNet specification is used in the hardware of DeviceNet kits.
Question: What is the power requirement for the PCI-CAN/2?
Answer: The typical power requirement, at +5 VDC, is 850 mA.
