IO601

Intelligent CAN module with 2 isolated and software-selectable high/low speed CAN ports

This module is a very versatile intelligent CAN-bus I/O module. Due to the on-board microcontroller and its firmware which handles incoming and outgoing CAN messages autonomously the real-time target machine's main CPU is offloaded from directly managing the low-level flow of CAN messages. The module offers 2 isolated CAN ports. Each port can be software-selected for highspeed or lowspeed operation. The xPC Target driver blockset for this module offers a complete Setup block and various types of Receive and Transmit blocks supporting FIFO mode as well as Object mode.

Highlights

  • 2 galvanically isolated CAN 2.0b ports
  • Software selectable highspeed/lowspeed mode (individually for each channel)
  • Powerful on-board microcontroller running low-level CAN firmware
  • 'Lean' on-board CAN firmware leads to minimal receive and transmit driver block latencies
  • Extensive xPC Target driver blockset
  • Setup driver block downloads microcontroller firmware each time a target application is initialized: Easy update of firmware

This I/O module is in the PMC form factor and can be used in any of the Performance, Mobile, and Modular or application optimized real-time target machines from Speedgoat (exception: Classic real-time target machine). The PCI bus of this module runs at 32-bit/33MHz.

Each module comes with a short external test cable (both connectors terminated) for easy loopback testing. An xPC Target driver block library is also part of the package.
