National Instruments PXI-8463/2 PXI-CAN Interface

The NI PXI-8463/2 (Part Number: 778780-02) is a Controller Area Network (CAN) Interface, which can act as the master device, driving the synchronization/trigger signals while other DAQ or CAN cards act as slaves to this timing signal basing their activities considering this signal. Determinism stays between the trigger signal and the desired reaction since the RTSI bus time signals are handled with inner hardware. The host PC software interactions only recover the information once it has been obtained or new information has been composed. The RTSI bus connector is situated on the highest point of the boards and a flat cable interfaces nearby boards to share the shot and time signs.

For PXI modules, the PXI trigger bus on the backplane performs the functions of the RTSI bus. In this manner, the user does not need to bother with extra cables to exploit synchronization. The user can regularly utilize High-Speed CAN to associate all control gadgets, such as transmission and slowing mechanisms, inside a vehicle utilizing exchange rates of 1 Mb/s maximum. The National Instruments High-Speed CAN interfaces are accessible in three formats: The PCI-CAN with a short PCI board, the PXI-8461 which is a 3U measure module compatible with the PXI isolated instrumentation details and the CompactPCI mechanical PC standard, and the PCMCIA-CAN which is a PCMCIA Type II card completely compatible with the PC Card standard. The user can also operate the PCMCIA-CAN card in a notebook or other PC with either a Type II or Type III slot.
