PCI-1680U/1682U User Manual 2
1.1 Description
PCI-1680U/1682U is special purpose communication card that offers connectivity to
Controller Area Networks (CAN) on your PC. With its built-in CAN controllers, the
PCI-1680U/1682U provides bus arbitration and error detection with an automatic
transmission repetition function. This drastically reduces the chance of data loss and
ensures system reliability. You can run both CAN controllers independently at the
same time. The PCI-1680U/1682U operates at baud rates up to 1 Mbps and can be
installed in a PC expansion slot.
Controller Area Network
The CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial bus system especially suited for net-
working "intelligent" I/O devices as well as sensors and actuators within a machine or
plant. Characterized by its multi-master protocol, real-time capability, error correction,
high noise immunity, and the existence of many different silicon components, the
CAN serial bus system, originally developed by Bosch for use in automobiles, is
increasingly being used in industrial automation.
Universal PCI
PCI-1680U/1682U provides truly universal connectivity, enabling a single product to
be used to implement systems with dramatically different resource requirements.
This makes PCI-1680U/1682U the most robust, most flexible, and most economical
choice for any application requiring isolation. PCI-1680U/1682U uses a universal PCI
connector compatible with both new 3.3 V signaling support required for plug-in
boards by the PCI 2.2 specification and the 5 V signaling still used by many systems.
Optical Isolation Protection
On-board optical isolators protect your PC and equipment against damage from
ground loops, increasing system reliability in harsh environments.
