Hardware Designs
The CAN-PCIeMiniHS/402-4-FD is an add-in half-size PCI Express Mini Card, that features four CAN FD interfaces with TTL level. The adapter cable is included in delivery.
The CAN-PCIeMiniHS/402-4-FD-T variant is designed for use in the extended temperature range.
Adapter with galvanic Isolation
The CAN interfaces can be connected individually via the adapters CAN-Mini/402-DSUB9-ISOL. The adapters consist of a small adapter board, equipped with a galvanically isolated physical CAN interface according to ISO11898-2 and a DSUB9 connector. In addition, each adapter has a jumper with which the CAN bus termination can be set individually for the respective CAN channel.
The CAN FD interfaces are fully backwards compatible with CAN CC environments.
The adapter variant CAN-Mini/402-DSUB9-ISOL-SIC is identical but comes with a transceiver with CAN FD signal improvement capability (SIC).
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.
Wide range of hardware designs of the 402 family
The CAN 402 family is a CAN board family developed for the PCI Express and PCI bus. The CAN 402 family has variants with up to four galvanically isolated CAN or CAN FD interfaces according to ISO 11898-2 and is implemented with the esdACC (esd Advanced CAN Core) certified according to ISO 16845:2004.
The CAN or CAN FD interfaces are accessible via DSUB9 connectors for each channel (some variants require an additional adapter).
The cards are available in many designs, including low-profile versions for PCI and PCI Express as well as Mini-PCI Express and in M.2 format. In addition to these formats, which are increasingly intended for standard PCs, designs for PMC, XMC, CPCI and many other designs have also been realized. The advantage of the uniform design is the uniform hardware core. This means that applications can be transferred from desktop PC systems to e.g. CPCI systems without any porting effort.
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.
Thanks to the support of MSI (Message Signaled Interrupts), it is possible to use the CAN interface in hypervisor environments, among others.
In addition, the module also supports high-resolution 64-bit hardware timestamps to enable highly accurate reception and transmission of CAN messages.
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:

Hardware-Accessories
The DSUB9 adapter is the recommended accessory for the CAN-PCIeMiniHS/402 and CAN-M.2/402-4-FD and has an galvanically isolated CAN interface as a DSUB9 plug in accordance with CiA 106. The CAN terminating resistor can be activated via a jumper on the adapter if required. A separate adapter is required for each CAN channel.
