Overview

The PCIE-1680-B is a dual-port PCI Express communication card designed to integrate CAN bus connectivity into industrial PC systems. It provides 2500 VDC isolation protection to safeguard the host system against voltage spikes in harsh environments. The card supports high-speed CAN transmission and is suitable for demanding automation and vehicle networking applications.

Why Choose This Part

This card features two independent CAN ports with built-in 2500 VDC isolation to prevent ground loops and protect hardware. It operates reliably across a 0 to 70 degree Celsius temperature range and utilizes a standard PCIe interface for high-bandwidth data throughput. The typical 600mA current draw makes it an efficient addition to most industrial workstation power budgets.

Applications

Industrial Automation
Connecting industrial PCs to CANopen or DeviceNet networks for machine control and monitoring.
Automotive Testing
Using a standard PC as a diagnostic or data logging node within a vehicle's CAN network.
Energy Management
Monitoring battery management systems (BMS) or solar inverters that communicate over CAN bus.
