NI-XNET CAN devices interface the CAN protocol controller to the physical bus wires using one of the following physical layers:
  • High-Speed CAN
  • Low-Speed/Fault Tolerant CAN
  • Single Wire CAN
The XS Software Selectable Physical Layer enables you to select each port individually in the physical layer for High-Speed or Low-Speed/Fault Tolerant transceivers.

Topics in this section describe the following characteristics of NI-XNET CAN hardware:

  • Transceiver
  • Bus Power Requirements
  • Cabling Requirements
  • Termination
