For especially compact computers with PCI Express Mini slots, like notebooks or small-scale industrial PCs, PEAK-System introduces the suitable CAN interface PCAN-miniPCIe on the embedded world 2012 in Nuremberg.
The small-sized card of about three by five centimeters contains one or two High-speed CAN channels (ISO 11898-2), each galvanically isolated against the PC electronics. The 9-pin D-Sub plugs for CAN are connected to the card by space-saving cables.
Like all CAN interfaces of the PCAN series, the PCAN-miniPCIe comes with the CAN monitor PCAN-View for Windows and the programming interface PCAN-Basic. Device drivers are available for Windows 7/Vista/XP and Linux, each in 32-bit and 64-bit editions.
