National Instruments PXI-8460/1 PXI-CAN Interface

The PXI-8460/1 (Part Number: 778008-01) is a low-speed 1-port Controller Area Network Interface (CAN) intended to communicate with low-speed CAN gadgets up to 125 kb/s. NI PXI-CAN modules utilize the Philips SJA1000 CAN controller for advanced functionality features, such as listen only, personal reception (echo) and advanced filtering modes, and new transceivers that offer rest/wakeup mode. Each CAN interface is sold with the NI-CAN gadget programming. The user can synchronize CAN, DAQ, vision, and motion modules by utilizing the PXI trip bus. The PXI-8460/1 module is intended to work with LabVIEW Real-Time for deterministic control applications. All NI CAN interfaces meet the physical and electrical necessities for CAN (automotive) vehicle systems.  

Ongoing advances in car test applications request more integration of CAN and other estimation gadgets. In numerous applications, the user must synchronize the physical parameters estimated to associate the information. The user can program this synchronization in software. However, OS latency in some cases presents unsuitable deferrals for certain car test applications. National Instruments CAN, information securing, vision, and motion sheets for PCI are prepared to share timing and triggering signals. In a framework, a CAN board can impart timing and triggering signals to data acquisition, image acquisition, or motion control boards, basing their activities on these signals.

Determinism is kept up between the trigger signal and the desired reaction since timing and triggering signals are handled in hardware. The host PC software collaborates just to recover the information once it is gained or to compose new information.
