This section describes the NI Can and LIN hardware.

Well-nigh the NI CAN Series 2 Hardware

NI Tin can Serial 2 hardware and the NI-CAN software package provide an piece of cake and powerful way to employ a desktop or notebook PC to interface to a Tin can charabanc. The hardware features the Philips SJA1000 CAN controller, which is CAN 2.0B compatible and supports a multifariousness of transfer rates up to 1 Mbps. All NI CAN Serial 2 hardware uses the Intel 386EX embedded processor to implement time-critical features provided by the NI-Tin software. NI Tin Series 2 hardware supports Loftier-Speed and Depression-Speed/Fault-Tolerant physical layers, which fully conform to the ISO 11898 physical layer specification for CAN. In improver, NI CAN Series two hardware supports Single Wire CAN.

PCI-Tin Series 2 hardware supports the Real-Fourth dimension System Integration (RTSI) bus equally a way to synchronize multiple interface cards in a organization by sharing common timing and triggering signals.

PXI-846ten Series 2 hardware supports the PXI trigger jitney every bit a way to synchronize multiple interface cards in a system by sharing common timing and triggering signals.

PCMCIA-CAN Series 2 cards provide a manner to synchronize multiple devices by using the PCMCIA-CAN Synchronization cablevision to externally connect to shared timing and triggering signals. For more information about the synchronization capabilities of the NI CAN Serial two hardware, refer to RTSI, PXI Trigger Bus (RTSI), or Synchronization for the advisable hardware blazon.

PCI-Tin Series 2 hardware is software configurable and compliant with the PCI Local Autobus Specification. It features the National Instruments MITE bus interface chip that connects the card to the PCI I/O double-decker. With a PCI-Can Serial 2 carte du jour, you tin make the PC-compatible computer with PCI Local Charabanc slots communicate with and control CAN devices.

PXI-84610 Series 2 hardware is software configurable and compliant with the PXI Specification and the CompactPCI Specification. It features the National Instruments MITE double-decker interface chip that connects the card to the PXI or CompactPCI I/O coach. With a PXI-846x Serial ii carte du jour, you tin make the PXI or CompactPCI chassis communicate with and control CAN devices.

PCMCIA-CAN Serial ii hardware is a 16-bit, Blazon II PC Card that is software configurable and compliant with the PCMCIA standards for 16-bit PC Cards. With a PCMCIA-CAN Serial two card, you can make the PC-uniform notebook with PCMCIA slots communicate with and control CAN devices.

Series 2 Vs. Series 1

The technical information in this assist file applies to the NI CAN Series two hardware. Y'all can easily identify the series of the NI CAN hardware by looking at the label. Employ the following figures to determine if the hardware is Series 1 or Series 2. If the label does not signal Series two, the hardware is Series i. For complete documentation of NI CAN Series 1 hardware, refer to ni.com/manuals and search for the part number 370289E-01 to access the Oct 2002 edition of the NI-Can Hardware and Software Transmission.

The new and improved features supported only by NI CAN Series 2 hardware include:

PCI and PXI

Philips SJA1000 Tin can controller. Serial one hardware supported the Intel 82527 CAN controller. For more specific information virtually the SJA1000 Tin controller, refer to Philips SJA1000 Tin can Controller.
Improved RTSI synchronization features. For more data near the synchronization capabilities of the NI Can Series 2 hardware, refer to RTSI, PXI Trigger Bus, or Synchronization for the advisable hardware type.
Single Wire CAN support.
XS Software selectable concrete layer hardware. This characteristic allows you to hands configure a Tin can port in software to be a Loftier-Speed, Low-Speed/Fault-Tolerant, Single Wire, or external transceiver interface.
Upgraded CAN transceivers. High-speed hardware uses the Philips TJA1041 transceiver; Low-Speed/Fault-Tolerant hardware uses the Philips TJA1054A transceiver. Both transceivers accept increased voltage tolerance and improved EMC performance over their NI CAN Serial 1 predecessors.
Internally powered concrete layer with independent jumper option for controlling the VBAT transceiver input pin either internally or externally. This means Loftier-Speed and Depression-Speed/Error-Tolerant hardware is fully functional by default without supplying any passenger vehicle power. A jumper pick exists to select the source for the VBAT transceiver pin between internal (default) or external. Note that Single Wire CAN requires external charabanc power.

PCMCIA

Philips SJA1000 Tin controller. Series 1 hardware supported the Intel 82527 CAN controller. For more than specific information about the SJA1000 Can controller, refer to Philips SJA1000 CAN Controller.
Synchronization capability for PCMCIA hardware. For more information about PCMCIA synchronization, refer to Synchronization.
Improved performance and reduced ability consumption. For more than data, refer to PCMCIA-Tin Specifications.

PCMCIA Cables

Unmarried Wire Tin can back up.
Upgraded CAN transceivers. High-speed hardware uses the Philips TJA1041 transceiver; Low-Speed/Fault-Tolerant hardware uses the Philips TJA1054A transceiver. Both transceivers have increased voltage tolerance and improved EMC performance over their NI CAN Series 1 predecessors.
Internally powered physical layer for High-Speed and Depression-Speed/Fault Tolerant. This means High-Speed and Low-Speed/Fault Tolerant hardware is fully functional by default without supplying any charabanc ability. Note that Single Wire CAN requires external bus power.
NI-CAN two.2 is required for total functionality of the PCMCIA cables. Using these cables with any version of NI-CAN prior to 2.2 will preclude employ of the following functions:
High-speed error reporting
Transceiver sleep modes
Single-wire transceivers

Near the USB-847x Hardware

NI USB-847x hardware provides a powerful and flexible way to interface whatsoever desktop or notebook PC to a Tin can or LIN bus via USB. All Can hardware features the Philips SJA1000 CAN controller, which is CAN 2.0B compatible and supports a diverseness of transfer rates upwards to 1 Mbps. The SJA1000 also includes a number of features well-suited to diagnostic applications. USB-847x hardware supports High-Speed and Low-Speed/Error-Tolerant physical layers, which fully conform to the ISO 11898 specification for Tin can. All LIN devices are LIN 1.3, LIN ii.0 and SAE J2602 compliant and support the full range of LIN baud rates.

NI USB-847x hardware is based on a powerful USB 2.0 compatible microcontroller capable of host data transfer rates upward to 480 Mbps. The hardware includes onboard buffers to prevent dropped frames at high Tin can data rates. All USB-847x CAN devices are fully powered from the USB and require no external power supply.

Additionally, USB-847x with Sync series hardware provides a mode to synchronize multiple devices by using an external sync connector to share mutual timing and triggering signals. USB-847x with Sync series hardware can share a timebase with each other or with a diversity of information conquering products.
