2 Introduction
This section will describe the functions and features of the Kvaser PCIEcan 2xHS
v2.
2.1 Welcome to Kvaser PCIEcan 2xHS v2
Figure 1: Kvaser PCIEcan 2xHS v2
Kvaser PCIEcan 2xHS v2 is a small, yet advanced, CAN multi-channel real time
CAN interface that handles transmission and reception of standard and extended
CAN messages on the bus with a high time stamp precision. The Kvaser PCIEcan
2xHS v2 is compatible with applications that use Kvaser‘s CANlib.
This guide applies to Kvaser PCIEcan 2xHS v2 devices listed in Table 1.

2.2 Major features
•PCI Express CAN interface.
•Supports CAN FD, up to 8 Mbit/s (with correct physical layer implementation).
•Quick and easy plug-and-play installation.
•Supports both 11-bit (CAN 2.0A) and 29-bit (CAN 2.0B active) identifiers.
•100 % compatible with applications written for other Kvaser CAN hardware
with Kvaser CANlib.
•High-speed CAN connection (compliant with ISO 11898-2), up to 1 Mbit /s.
•Fully compatible with J1939, CANopen, NMEA 2000 and DeviceNet.
•Supports silent mode for analysis tools – listen to the bus without interfering.
•Supports simultaneous usage of multiple Kvaser interfaces.
•Low profile board, includes low and high profile brackets.
2.3 Interface
Kvaser PCIEcan 2xHS v2 provides a CAN bus interface through a standard PCI
Express x1 interface.
2.4 Additional software and documentation
The Kvaser CANlib SDK includes everything you need in order to develop software
applications interacting with Kvaser CAN and LIN hardware. The SDK contains full
documentation and many sample programs, written in C, C++, C#, Delphi, Python
and Visual Basic. Kvaser CAN and LIN hardware is built around the same common
software API. Applications developed using one device type will run without
modification on other device types.
The latest versions of documentation, software and drivers can be downloaded for
free at www.kvaser.com/download.

3 Kvaser PCIEcan 2xHS v2 hardware
In this section you can read more about the CAN channels, power supply and LED
indicators.
3.1 Hardware installation
The Kvaser PCIEcan 2xHS v2 may be inserted in any free PCI Express slot on the
host computer. You do need to switch the power off before inserting or removing
the device.
3.2 CAN channels
The Kvaser PCIEcan 2xHS v2 has two CAN channels in a single 9-pin male
D-SUB CAN connector (see Figure 2). See Section 4.2, CAN connectors, on
Page 9 for pinout information.
Figure 2: CAN connector on Kvaser PCIEcan 2xHS v2
3.3 Power supply
The Kvaser PCIEcan 2xHS v2 is powered from the PCI Express connector.
3.4 LED Indicators
The Kvaser PCIEcan 2xHS v2 has two yellow LED indicators, one for each
channel. The LEDs indicate the bus state (on/off) with a steady light for on and no
light for off.

3.5 Troubleshooting
Use “Kvaser Device Guide” in the Control Panel to verify that the computer can
communicate with the Kvaser PCIEcan 2xHS v2. If the firmware version shown is
all zeros, there are communication problems.
