National Instruments 778783-02 PXI-CAN Interface 

National Instruments part number 778783-02 is an identifying part number for the PXI-8464/2, a PXI-CAN Interface with 2 Ports and a transfer rate of 1000 kb/s. The Software-Selectable Interface features up to 1 Mb/s full load receiving capability, an ISO 11898 physical layer, and a Philips SJA1000 CAN controller. It is equipped with an Intel 80386EX microprocessor dedicated to timed CAN frame transfer, ensuring efficient data handling. This model offers real-time support for LabVIEW and is available in high-speed, low-speed, and single-wire versions. It is compatible with transceivers such as TJA1041, TJA1054A, and AU5790, providing flexibility for various applications. 

The 778783-02 integrates seamlessly with NI-CAN software, facilitating programming and CAN channel database file imports. NI-CAN software provides two programming interfaces (APIs): channel and frame. The channel API simplifies access to the CAN bus by using easy-to-use engineering units, aiding in device synchronization and integration. Conversely, the frame API offers lower-level access, enabling users to read and write raw frames directly on the network, making it suitable for detailed testing and simulation tasks. This CAN Interface features a 9-pin male D-Sub (DB9) connector for each of its two ports, following the CiA DS 102 recommended pinout. 

With low-speed/fault-tolerant CAN hardware, the NI 778783-02 can communicate with devices at speeds up to 125 kbps. In single-wire mode, it supports communication rates up to 33.3 kbps. The interface also supports multiple-transceiver hardware, accommodating various communication standards. It typically operates with a current of 900 mA. The hardware configuration of the device can be managed using the Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) tool. The NI device has physical dimensions of 6.3 x 3.9 inches. It is recommended to operate the device within a temperature range of 0 to 55 °C.
