CANopen Interface Card: CAN-PCI/OPN

Area of application

Active PCI interface card to operate a PC as a CANopen master. The card is suited both to control and visualization tasks and to parameterization and configuration applications.

Functions
  • Active CANopen master card with its own microcontroller
  • CANopen-API
  • CANopen protocol is processed directly on the card
  • Exact time response with millisecond resolution
  • Dynamic creation of PDOs
  • Supports acyclic, cyclic, asynchronous and synchronous PDOs
  • Time-critical process data is stored in the DPRAM
  • Transmission of any amount of data via SDO
  • Parallel processing of several SDO requests
  • Asynchronous application interface with task and event queues
  • Transfer rate of up to 1 Mbps
  • Onboard switchable bus terminator
  • Runs under Windows XP/2000/NT/ME/98
System requirements
  • PC with PCI slot
  • Windows XP/2000/NT/ME/98
Included in package
  • CAN-AC1-PCI hardware with CANopen-API
  • X-Analyser Appetizer
Part no.
  • CAN-PCI/OPN

The CANopen API can be retrofitted to existing CAN-ACx-PCI interfaces (with CAN-AC2-PCI, channel 1 of the card is used).
Part no. for this:

  • CAN-OPN/API
Highlights
  • High performance since the protocol is processed directly on the card
  • Integrated switchable bus terminator
  • Also suitable for very large networks
