CAN-PCIe/402-FD

CAN-PCIe/402-FD PCIe Card with up to 4 CAN-FD Interfaces

PCIe Card with up to 4 CAN-FD Interfaces. The CAN FD interfaces of the ESD electronics CAN-PCIe/402-FD are driven by the ISO 16845:2004 certified esdACC (esd advanced CAN Core) implemented in the Altera FPGA. Through a higher bit rate in the data phase combined with increased performance through a higher number of payload bytes, CAN FD offers higher data throughput without sacrificing the benefits of the Classical CAN. CAN-PCIe/402-FD is fully backwards compatible with CAN and can also be used in Classical CAN applications.

The FPGA supports bus mastering (first party DMA) to transfer data to the host memory. This results in a reduction of overall latency on servicing I/O transactions in particular at higher data rates and a reduced host CPU load. Due to the usage of MSI (Message Signaled Interrupts) the CAN-PCIe/402-FD can be operated for example in Hypervisor environments. The CAN-PCIe/402-FD provides high resolution hardware timestamps.

CAN layer 2 (NTCAN-API) software drivers are available for Windows, Linux, VxWorks, QNX, RTX and RTX64. The CANopen software package is available for Windows, Linux, RTX, VxWorks and QNX. Drivers for other operating systems are available on request. Higher Layer Protocols are available for many operating systems (Classical CAN application only) like ARINC825, J1939, CANopen Master- and Slave-Stack.
