Dual Channel PC/104 CAN Module (PCM-CAN-2-ISO)

Feb. 13, 2013
WINSYSTEMS' dual-channel CAN module employs high-speed isolated data couplers and power supplies to provide 1,000V protection.

The PCM-CAN-2-ISO, a PC/104-compliant, dual-channel, isolated Controller Area Network (CAN) module with Windows and Linux drivers employs high-speed isolated data couplers and power supplies to provide 1,000V protection between the 2 NXP SJA1000 CAN controllers and the network interface. This makes the module ideal for operation in high-voltage renewable energy, high-speed industrial control, or unpredictable automotive applications, while it maintains low EMI and low-latency operation.

 

Each CAN channel can provide isolated +5V DC power or receive isolated +5 to +12V DC power from the interface for additional flexibility. The +5V DC power supply includes overvoltage, overcurrent, and short-circuit protection. 

 

The PCM-CAN-2-ISO is compliant with CAN specifications 2.0A (11-bit ID) and 2.0B (29-bit ID). CAN is an industry-standard, serial, asynchronous, multi-master communication protocol for connecting electronic control modules, sensors, and actuators in automotive and industrial applications. The PCM-CAN-2-ISO supports transfer rates to 1 Mb/sec and has jumper selectable termination resistors so it can be used in various topology systems.
