CAN-AC2-PCI
CAN communication interfaces are an inexpensive alternative to diagnostic interfaces. CAN-AC2-PCI and Softing’s standard CAN-API form a powerful hardware interface for communication tasks. Alternatively, the VCI can be operated with the D-PDU API.

CAN APIs

The CAN-API, which is standard for all CAN interfaces from Softing, provides powerful communication mechanisms for CAN applications. Local buffering and preprocessing on the VCI result in high performance and a reduction of time-critical tasks for the PC. Special automation APIs, such as CANopen and DeviceNET-API, are also available.

 

D-PDU API

The standardized programming interface provides applications with powerful multi-channel communication mechanisms with vehicle protocols, such as Diagnostics on CAN (ISO 15765) and UDS (ISO 14229). It also allows integration into diagnostic systems in accordance with ISO 22900 (MVCI). D-PDU API is available as an option.

 

Scalability

The CAN-AC2-PCI interface supports two independent CAN bus channels. By combining several CAN-AC2-PCI boards (or even other CAN/EDIC® interfaces), the number of communication channels available on the PC system can quickly be adapted to the relevant application.

 

Environment

The galvanic isolation of PC and vehicle interfaces enables trouble-free operation even in harsh manufacturing environments.
