National Instruments PCI-CAN/SW CAN Interface Device
The PCI-CAN/SW is a single-wire CAN Interface Device by National Instruments. This device is available under part number 778795-01. The PCI-CAN/SW is used for CAN application development. For advanced functions, the PCI-CAN/SW device is equipped with a Philips SJA1000 CAN Controller. It offers various filtering modes for the PCI-CAN/SW interface board. This model can be synchronized with several PCI devices using an RTSI bus. This CAN Interface Device features hardware timing, timestamping, and synchronization with accuracy.
The PCI-CAN/SW CAN Interface Device is a single port device. However, a dual port version is also available with a different part number. The PCI-CAN/SW incorporates a male DB-9 connector. The board is interfaced with other devices through this connector. The transceiver used in the PCI-CAN/SW device is AU5790. The PCI-CAN/SW CAN Interface Device supports high-speed transmission with a maximum transfer rate of 83.333 kb/sec. The I/O channel of the PCI-CAN/SW draws a current of 750 mA. The power requirement of the I/O channel is +5 VDC. The PCI-CAN/SW device also filters the noise from the signal. This feature is FCC Class A verified.
The PCI-CAN/SW CAN Interface Device can be used in four different modes, including: normal, high-speed, sleep, and wake-up transceiver mode. The PCI-CAN/SW device is compatible with the standard as well as extended CAN arbitration IDs. The PCI-CAN/SW is used in various applications but is exclusively designed for automation applications. This CAN Interface Device can additionally be used in research applications and automotive CAN-based networks.

National Instruments PCI-CAN/SW Frequently Asked Questions
Question: Do I need an internal or external power supply for the PCI-CAN/SW?
Answer: The PCI-CAN/SW requires an external power source.
Question: How do I terminate my NI PCI-CAN/SW hardware without causing a communication failure?
Answer: The required load resistance for the network is 9.09 kohm. Your NI PCI-CAN/SW has a 9.09 kohm load resistor built in, so you do not need any additional resistors to terminate the hardware.
Question: Is it necessary to connect Vsup if I’m using the PCI-CAN/SW?
Answer: Yes, since the PCI-CAN/SW requires an external power source, the V+ is necessary to supply power.
