Product Short Description
Product Name: PCI-CAN/XS2 – PCI Controller Area Network (CAN) Interface with Software-Selectable Transceivers
Product Introduction: The 778782-02 is a PCI-bus CAN interface card from National Instruments, featuring two independently configurable CAN ports. Each port’s transceiver type is software-selectable, allowing the card to operate across high-speed, low-speed/fault-tolerant and single-wire CAN networks without hardware changes.

Functional Features:
-
Software-selectable transceiver per port—no jumper changes needed
-
Dual-port architecture for simultaneous multi-network communication
-
Optical isolation protects the host computer from field-side transients
-

Application Scenarios: Automotive CAN bus development and testing, industrial machine-CAN communication, embedded system diagnostics, real-time control networks, research labs requiring flexible CAN protocol experimentation.
Installation & Notes: Install in a free PCI slot of a desktop PC. Ensure the PC’s +5 V rail can supply 900 mA. Use only the NI-CAN drivers (available from National Instruments). For high-speed 1000 kb/s operation, ensure proper CAN bus termination (120 Ω at both ends). Optical isolation is rated to 500 V—do not exceed this between the field network and the host ground.
