PCI Express® Board with up to 4 CAN FD (CAN-PCIe/402-FD)

Basic information

The CAN-PCIe 402-FD is a PC board designed specifically for the PCIe bus, making it compatible with modern computer systems. It is equipped with one or two electrically isolated CAN FD interfaces, adhering to the ISO 11898-2 standards, which allow for high-speed communication in industrial applications. These interfaces are connected via DSUB9 connectors, ensuring reliable and secure connections.

For users looking for a more compact solution, the board is also available in low profile versions, without compromising on performance.

In the case of the CAN-PCIe 402-B4-FD version, it features a notable addition. It allows for the connection of up to four CAN FD interfaces, making it suitable for more complex setups. The interfaces are connected via a 37-pin DSUB connector, providing a convenient and organized solution for multi-interface configurations.

The CAN FD interfaces implemented in the board are designed according to the ISO 11898-1:2015 standards, ensuring compatibility and interoperability with other CAN systems. Additionally, they are driven by the ISO 16845:2004 certified esdACC (esd advanced CAN Core) implemented in the Intel FPGA. This guarantees robust and reliable performance.

One of the key advantages of the CAN-PCIe 402-FD is its FPGA's bus mastering capability, specifically first-party DMA (Direct Memory Access). This feature allows for efficient data transfer to the host memory, resulting in reduced latency and improved overall performance, especially at higher data rates. As a result, the host CPU load is minimized, providing more computational resources for other tasks.

The CAN-PCIe 402-FD is manufactured by ESD ELECTRONICS GMBH, a reputable producer in the industry with a focus on high-quality electronic components.
