Introduction
The PCAN-PC/104 card enables the connection of one or two CAN
networks to a PC/104 system. Multiple PCAN-PC/104 cards can
easily be operated using interrupt sharing.
The card is available as a single or dual-channel version. The opto-
decoupled versions also guarantee galvanic isolation of up to 500
Volts between the PC and the CAN sides.
The monitor software PCAN-View and the programming interface
PCAN-Basic for the development of applications with CAN
connection are included in the scope of supply.
Device drivers exist for different operating systems, so programs
can easily access a connected CAN bus.
