PCI-8511/2

2-Port Low-Speed/Fault-Tolerant CAN Interface Device

• 2-port low-speed/fault-tolerant CAN interfaces (up to 125 kbit/s) with onboard TJA1045A transceivers
• NI-XNET driver for developing frame and signal applications in LabVIEW, LabWindows™/CVI, and C/C++
• NI-XNET device-driven DMA engine for coupling the CAN bus to host memory to minimize message latency
• Integrated CAN databases for importing, editing, and using signals from FIBEX, .DBC, and .NCD files
• Synchronization, 1 μs timestamps for integration with NI DAQ, digitizers, switches, large systems
• Bundled software: NI-XNET driver, Bus Monitor and Database Editor for Windows, LabVIEW Real-Time OSs

The PCI-8511/2 is a low-speed/fault-tolerant controller area network (CAN) PCI interface for developing CAN applications in NI LabVIEW, NI LabWindows/CVI, and C/C++ on Windows and LabVIEW Real-Time operating systems. As part of the NI-XNET platform, the PCI-8511/2 works well for applications that require real-time, high-speed manipulation of hundreds of CAN frames and signals, such as hardware-in-the-loop simulation, rapid control prototyping, bus monitoring, automation control, and more.
