CAN bus Interface Cards and Boards
CAN PCI, CAN PC/104, CAN USB, CAN PC Card, PCMCIA

Softing offers CAN Interface Cards with various form factors and interfaces.

All CAN bus Interfaces are delivered with the CAN API by default.

Alternatively, there are also APIs available for CANopen and DeviceNet.

• FIFO mode

  Sequential buffering of reception and transmission messages; receipt stamping in a 1µs pattern; suitable for recording measurement data, realizing "higher" proprietary protocols or analyzing networks

• Object buffer mode

  One buffer per defined message; automatic updating of receive buffer; random access to current process data; exact cyclic transmission

The PC interface cards for CAN bus from Softing are available in the following hardware formats:

Active cards (with microcontroller)

PCI (1-channel)
PCI (2-channel)
PCI Express (1-channel)
PCI Express (2-channel)
PC/104plus (1-channel), also available with
     expanded temperature range (-40 .. +85 °C)
PC/104plus (2-channel), also available with
     expanded temperature range (-40 .. +85 °C)
PC/104 (1-channel)
PC/104 (2-channel), also available with
     expanded temperature range (-40 .. +85 °C)
PC Card (2-channel)
USB (1-channel)

Passive cards for volume applications (without microcontroller)

PC/104 (1- or 2-channel), optional galvanic

For these CAN bus interface cards, drivers for numerous operating systems and realtime environments are available, e.g. Windows, CE, Linux, DOS, RTX, QNX (as option, not as free download).
