National Instruments PXI-8460/2 PXI-CAN Interface

The NI PXI-8460/2 (Part Number: 778008-02) is a 2-port low-speed Control Area Network Interface (CAN). This interface has a 125 kb/s maximum transfer rate, low-speed/fault-tolerant versions, a TJA1054A transceiver, one DB9 male I/O connector for each channel, and 850 mA typical current. The National Instruments PXI-8460/2 works with LabVIEW Real-Time running on a PC or a PXI controller for deterministic control. The user can download their current NI LabVIEW application to the target without specific ongoing OS programming learning. The ongoing execution and synchronization means the user can utilize a standard PC or PXI chassis for applications, such as quick control prototyping, hardware-in-the-loop and up testing, and data logging. Synchronization is accessible for the National Instruments PXI-8460/2 CAN Interface Module. For the PCI CAN Modules, the user can utilize a RTSI bus link to share the signals.

The NI PXI-8460/2 CAN Interface Module utilizes the Intel 80386EX chip to deal with interchanges straightforwardly on the interface gadget. The 80386EX chip gives a committed situation to solid, elite CAN communications convention stack execution. Since acquisition and transmission timing happen on the board, CAN frames are not lost because of OS actions, such as hard drive access, mouse movements, or virus scans. The physical layer of every single National Instruments CAN gadget completely fits in with the ISO 11898 physical layer specification for CAN and is optically separated to 500 V. The user can also interface to the CAN bus by utilizing a 9-pin male D-Sub (DB9) connector.
