Kvaser AB has introduced the Kvaser PCIEcan 4xHS, a highly integrated, high speed controller area network (CAN) network card that adds four high speed CAN channels to any standard computer board with PCI Express capability. Offering silent mode, error frame detection/generation and an on-board buffer, this small form factor add-on board fits many embedded data acquisition systems and is CAN-FD ready.
Commented Lars-Berno Fredriksson, president of Kvaser AB: “The Kvaser PCIEcan 4xHS is by far our fastest network card ever. With an in-house developed CAN-controller, implemented in an FPGA, no compromises have been made in terms of message speed.”
The Kvaser PCIEcan 4xHS has an average response time of 45 µs. An onboard buffer ensures that there is no risk of the card ‘dropping’ messages, meaning that the Kvaser PCIEcan 4xHS is as robust as it is responsive. This is very useful in ‘ping-pong protocols’ such as firmware updates.
This is a low profile card (86 x 69mm) that is fully compatible with J1939, CANopen, NMEA 2000 and DeviceNet. With a wide operating temperature of 0oC to +85oC and galvanically isolated CAN bus drivers, it is designed for standard and industrial computers alike.
Kvaser’s PCIEcan boards are supported by device drivers and program examples for Windows and Linux. All Kvaser CAN interface boards share a common software API, Kvaser CANLIB, that is free to download. Kvaser CanKing, a general purpose interactive CAN bus monitor, can also be download free of charge from our web site.
