Data Sheet


The NI PXI-8461/2 is a 2-port high-speed controller area network (CAN) interface designed for communicating with high-speed CAN devices up to 1 Mbit/s. NI PXI-CAN modules 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/wake-up mode support. Each CAN interface is shipped with NI-CAN device driver software. You can synchronize CAN, data acquisition (DAQ), vision, and motion boards using the PXI trigger bus. NI PXI-846x Series 2 modules are designed to work with LabVIEW Real-Time for deterministic control applications. All National Instruments CAN interfaces meet the physical and electrical requirements for in-vehicle (automotive) networks based on CAN.

Since your device does not have direct signal connectivity, you need a connector block to act as an interface between your sensors/signals and your device. A connector block provides easy access to the inputs and outputs of your hardware.
You need a cable to transmit signals between your device and your signal connections on your connector block.
The chassis provides rugged, modular housing for the controller and modules and contains the high-performance PXI backplane, which includes the system's data, timing, and triggering buses.
The controller runs your application and interfaces with your PXI modules.
You need software to interface with your hardware and to collect, analyze, present, and store your measurements. This board is compatible with a variety of programming languages, including LabVIEW, C/C++, Visual Basic, and .NET. LabVIEW provides the easiest integration with all of your NI hardware and is recommended to maximize your hardware investment.
