National Instruments USB-8473 CAN Interface Device

The USB-8473 (Part Number: 779792-01, 194210C-01) is a fast controller area network (CAN) interface for creating applications with the NI-CAN controller. This model uses the Philips SJA1000 CAN controller and the TJA1041 CAN handset that offers useful features, such as listen-just mode, rest/wakeup mode, access to the mistake counter, and auto-gathering mode (resound). With the time stamp of the equipment, the user can record messages with time stamps in microseconds to remake network events. Equipped with 1 port, the high speed CAN device has a maximum transfer rate of 1,000 kbit per second. Numerous automotive applications request tight joining of CAN, LIN, simple, and advanced estimations. In applications, such as CAN gadget improvement and approval, the user must synchronize distinctive estimations to associate information. Users can program this synchronization in programming, yet OS inertness and clock float between the diverse installed oscillators present unsuitable postponements for certain car test applications.

NI offers the NI USB-8473 CAN Interface Device with a discretionary equipment synchronization highlight, with which the USB interfaces can share timing and activating signals with other USB-8473 interfaces, as well as information procurement, vision, and movement gadgets, to accomplish genuine equipment synchronization. Determinism is kept up between the trigger signal and the wanted reaction since timing and activating signals are taken care of in equipment. The host PC programming connects to recover the information once it is procured or to compose new information. The USB 8473 operates using the NI-CAN driver software which is compatible with software packages such as LabVIEW. The device has a voltage range of 12 V to 16 V, with a continuous and peak current of 0.6 A and 12 A respectively. The device has a maximum power requirement of 20 W.

The CAN physical layer on this device interfaces the CAN controller to the physical transport wires. The USB 8473 National Instruments is accessible with fast and low-speed/blame tolerant physical layers. This CAN Interface Device has a locally available physical layer handsets and require no additional cables. The physical layers are internally fueled by a DC-to-DC converter. The device is equipped with a female DB-9 connector. The NI instrument has an operating temperature range of -40 to 120 degree Celsius.
