1. Product Introduction
1.1 Product Overview
CAN FD (CAN Flexible Data-rate) is the latest version of the CAN bus, with a maximum of 64 bytes of data,
and a flexible data field with a baud rate of up to 5 Mbps.
The MiniPCIeCANFD CAN(FD) interface card is a MiniPCIe to dual-channel CAN(FD) communication
interface card compatible with PCI Express r1.0a developed by Guangzhou ZLG Electronics. The
MiniPCIeCANFD interface card provides a peripheral controller interface for MiniPCI Express multi-function
devices, which enables the computer to be easily connected to the CAN/CAN(FD) bus network and monitor
multiple bus networks in real time. It is compact and can be easily embedded in single board computers (SBC),
portable industrial control hosts, and industrial notebooks. It is easy to install and easy to use.
The MiniPCIeCANFD provides two completely independent isolated CAN (FD) channels, in line with CAN FD
ISO 11898-1:2015 specification (compatible with CAN 2.0A/B standard). It supports a transmission rate of up to 5
Mbps, which enables flexible and convenient applications. To improve system reliability, MiniPCIeCANFD
interface card adopts 2,500 V DC electrically isolated CAN (FD) transceiver circuit, which protects the computer
from the influence of ground circulation and enhances the system reliability in harsh environments. To facilitate
expansion, the second function pin of CAN signals can be switched to the reserved PIN of the MiniPCIe golden
finger through jumper welding, which allows users to design CAN transceiver circuits on the baseboard by
themselves.
The MiniPCIeCANFD interface card provides a unified application programming interface and complete and
diverse application demonstration codes, including development routines such as VC, VB, Delphi and labview,
which facilitates application development. MiniPCIeCANFD supports OPC interfaces and can be used in
configuration software that supports OPC. In addition, we provide powerful ZCANPRO general-purpose
CAN-BUS test software for CAN/CAN (FD) message sending and receiving and monitoring, which facilitates
development and debugging.
Note: MiniPCIeCANFD is collectively referred to as PCIeCANFD interface card below.
