Data Sheet

The National Instruments PCI-CAN/LS2 is a 2-port low-speed CAN interface designed for communicating with low-speed CAN devices up to 125 kb/s. NI PCI-CAN boards use the Philips SJA1000 CAN Controller for advanced functionality such as listen-only, self-reception (echo), and advanced filtering modes and new transceivers for sleep/wakeup mode support. Each CAN interface is shipped with NI-CAN device driver software. You can synchronize CAN, DAQ, and motion boards for PCI using the RTSI bus. All National Instruments CAN interfaces are designed to meet the physical and electrical requirements for in-vehicle (automotive) networks based on CAN.
