Powerful CAN Interface for PCs
The CAN-PCIe/400 is a PC board designed for the PCI Express bus that features two (CAN-PCIe/400-2) or optionally four (CANPCIe/400-4) electrically isolated CAN High-Speed interfaces according to ISO11898-2. CAN-PCIe/400-4 comes with two CAN interfaces via a separate slot bracket.
CAN Data Management
The CAN(-FD) interfaces are controlled by the esdACC (esd Advanced CAN Core) developed by esd and certified according to ISO 16845:2004, which is implemented in an FPGA.
The design includes a bus mastering unit ( first-party DMA ) to exchange the CAN data.
This allows the CAN interface to initiate write cycles to the CPU RAM independently of the host system's CPU or DMA controller. This reduces the CPU load of the host system and the overall system latency.
In addition, the module also supports high-resolution 64-bit hardware timestamps to enable highly accurate reception and transmission of CAN messages.
Error Injection Unit - A simple but powerful concept
For many years, the CAN bus has been used not only in automotive and industrial automation, but increasingly also in safety-critical areas such as medical technology or aerospace. Due to the resulting increase in safety requirements, the need for verification, simulation and testing is also growing.
Due to their principle, the CAN controllers available on the market are not able to send faulty CAN frames or generally violate the CAN standard ISO 11898. The esdACC CAN IP core, supplemented by the Error Injection Unit, is not only able to generate or simulate almost all CAN errors, it can even interactively intervene in the running CAN communication.
The error injection unit has different injection modes, such as CAN arbitration, time triggered or pattern matching, which in combination allow even complex scenarios. With the esdACC Error Injection GUI Tool esd additionally offers a free graphical user interface for the Error Injection Unit.
Free drivers for Windows and Linux included
The product is offered with drivers for Windows and Linux, which can be downloaded free of charge.
In addition to these operating systems, various other (real-time) operating systems are also supported. Detailed information can be found in the description of our order items and, if applicable, in the accessories at the bottom of this page. For more detailed information about the availability of drivers for your operating system, please contact our sales team.
Free CAN tools for fast setup and diagnosis of CAN networks
Our CAN tools for Windows, which are available free of charge in the CAN SDK, significantly support the user in quickly setting up and easily diagnosing CAN, CAN FD and CANopen networks. The possibility of data logging helps the user to record the data traffic for later analysis and to process it further as a CSV file.
NTCAN API and available software stacks
The NTCAN API is a cross-platform software communication interface for CAN and CAN FD hardware. The well-structured API allows easy integration into any application. The functionality and versatility of the implementation provide all necessary mechanisms to control, configure and monitor CAN and CAN FD networks. In addition to the free version for Windows and Linux, the NTCAN API is also available for many real-time operating systems such as QNX®, RTX® or VxWorks® for a license fee.
Many sophisticated functions make the API ideally suited for use in conjunction with higher CAN / CAN FD based protocols. For many common protocols corresponding implementations are already available from esd. These higher layer protocols for Classical CAN, which are available for numerous operating systems, include:
