Ixxat CAN-IB200/PCIe
Overview
The HMS Networks 1.01.0233.22010 is an active CAN-IB200/PCIe interface card designed for connecting PCs to CAN and CAN FD networks. It features a powerful onboard controller that offloads communication tasks from the host CPU, ensuring reliable data throughput in demanding industrial and automotive applications. This dual-port card is modular, allowing for future expansion with additional interfaces like LIN or low-speed CAN.
Why Choose This Part
The active architecture utilizes an internal microcontroller to handle time-critical protocol tasks, preventing data loss even at high bus loads. It offers switchable CAN FD support and built-in overvoltage protection to safeguard the host PC hardware from electrical transients. The card's comprehensive driver support and included analysis software significantly reduce integration time for custom software development.
