PC interface card for CAN FD (1 x CAN FD), galvanically isolated
The Ixxat CAN-IB520/PCIe Mini is a passive PCI Express Mini interface card with one CAN/CAN FD channel, galvanic isolation and a CAN connector on the rear panel. It is a simple and cost-effective way to connect computers to a CAN/CAN FD bus network. Thanks to its compact dimensions, the card is particularly well suited to applications with limited space.
Key points
- Passive CAN interface card — Direct access to CAN networks – suited to applications requiring a simple connection, without a microcontroller.
- Cost-effective connectivity — Delivers a cost-effective solution with high performance at a competitive price. An ideal choice for demanding applications, with no compromise on quality.
- PCIe Mini interface — The single-lane (1x) PCI Express interface supports high bit-rate data transmission, ideal for demanding industrial applications.
- Compact PCIe Mini form factor — With its PCIe Mini form factor, this variant is ideal for small devices and mobile applications with limited available space.
- Switchable CAN/CAN FD channels — Equipped with a switchable CAN/CAN FD channel for sending and receiving ISO CAN FD, non-ISO CAN FD or CAN2.0A/B messages, offering fast data transmission and high flexibility.
- Installation of multiple cards — Integrating several cards in the same PC allows easy channel expansion, suited even to demanding environments such as test benches and production sites.
- Overvoltage protection — Galvanic isolation protects against overvoltage and prevents potential electrical damage.
- Extensive driver compatibility — The Ixxat VCI driver packages support multiple fieldbuses and make it easy to switch from one type of PC interface to another. Available as a free download.
- Powerful programming interface — Ixxat offers versatile programming interfaces for Windows (VCI), Linux (ECI) and real-time systems (on request), enabling flexible development across multiple operating systems.
- Analysis software included — Ixxat canAnalyser3 Mini is included in the VCI V4 download package and enables first steps in analyzing and monitoring CAN networks.
