PCI-8513

The PCI-8513 is a controller area network (CAN) flexible data-rate (FD) interface for developing applications with the NI-XNET driver. NI-XNET software-selectable CAN interfaces offer the best flexibility for CAN development with onboard transceivers for high-speed/FD, low-speed/fault-tolerant, and single-wire CAN as well as any external transceiver. The PCI-8513 excels in applications requiring real-time, high-speed manipulation of hundreds of CAN frames and signals such as hardware-in-the-loop simulation, rapid control prototyping, automation control, and more. The NI-XNET device-driven DMA engine enables the onboard processor to move CAN frames and signals between the interface and the user program without CPU interrupts.
