PC interface card for CAN (2 x CAN), galvanically isolated
The Ixxat CAN-IB120/PCIe Mini is a passive PCI Express Mini interface card with two CAN channels, galvanic isolation and a rear-entry CAN connector. It is a simple and cost-effective way to connect computers to a CAN bus network. Thanks to its very compact dimensions, the card is particularly suited to space-constrained applications.
Key points
- Passive CAN interface card — Direct access to CAN networks – suited to applications requiring a simple connection without a microcontroller.
- Cost-effective connectivity — Offers a cost-effective solution with high performance at an attractive price. An ideal choice for demanding applications, without compromising on quality.
- PCIe Mini interface — Single-lane (1x) PCI Express interface for high-speed data transmission, ideal for demanding industrial applications.
- Compact PCIe Mini format — With its PCIe Mini format, this variant is ideal for small devices and mobile applications with limited space.
- Rear-entry CAN connector — The CAN connector is aligned with the edge of the card, perfect for systems requiring easy rear access for connection.
- Multiple card installation — Integrating several cards into a single PC allows easy channel expansion, suitable even for demanding environments such as test benches and production plants.
- Overvoltage protection — Galvanic isolation protects against overvoltage and potential electrical damage.
- Full driver compatibility — Ixxat VCI driver packages support multiple fieldbuses and allow easy switching between different types of PC interfaces. Available as a free download.
- Powerful programming interface — Ixxat offers versatile programming interfaces for Windows (VCI), Linux (ECI) and real-time OS (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 the first steps in CAN network analysis and monitoring.
