1 Introduction
The plug-in card PCAN-PCI Express FD enables the connection of a PC with PCI
Express slots to CAN FD and CAN networks. There is galvanic isolation of up to 500 V
between the computer and CAN sides. The card is available as a single, double, or
quad channel version.
The CAN FD standard (CAN with Flexible Data rate) is primarily characterized by
higher bandwidth for data transfer. The maximum of 64 data bytes per CAN FD frame
(instead of 8 so far) can be transmitted with bit rates up to 12 Mbit/s. CAN FD is
downward compatible to the CAN 2.0 standard, CAN FD nodes can be inserted into
already existing CAN networks without CAN FD extensions.
The monitor software PCAN-View and the programming interface PCAN-Basic for the
development of applications with CAN connection are included in the scope of
supply and support CAN FD.
Device drivers exist for different operating systems, so programs can easily access a
connected CAN bus.
This manual describes the use of the CAN interface with Windows.
Device drivers and application information for Linux:

At the end of this manual you can find a Quick Reference with brief
information about the installation and operation of the CAN interface.

2 Settings
The following describes the settings for the power supply of external devices, the
internal termination, and the activation of the daisy chain. If you do not need any of
these settings, skip this chapter.
Daisy chain and power supply of external devices cannot be used
simultaneously.
2.1 Voltage Supply of External Devices
Optionally, an external power supply can be connected separately for each CAN
channel via solder bridges at pin 1 on the D-Sub connector. This allows external
devices to be supplied with a voltage of 5 V DC, such as the PCAN-TJA1054 bus
converter for Low-speed CAN. Pin 1 is not assigned at delivery. The current output is
limited to 50 mA.
2.1.1 Activate Voltage Supply
Risk of short circuit! Soldering on the CAN interface may only be
performed by qualified electrical engineering personnel.
Attention! Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage or destroy
components on the card. Take precautions to avoid ESD.
Set the solder bridge(s) corresponding to the desired settings.
The following figure shows the solder field positions on the quad channel card. The
table below contains the possible settings.

disconnect CAN cables or peripheral systems.

2.2 Internal Termination
The termination can be activated by solder jumpers on the circuit board, to
terminate one end of the CAN bus.
Tipp: We recommend to do termination at the CAN cabling, for example
with the terminating resistors PCAN-Term (IPEK-003002) or
PCAN-MiniTerm (IPEK-003002-Mini). Thus, CAN nodes can be flexibly
connected to the bus.
2.2.1 Activate Internal Termination
Risk of short circuit! Soldering on the CAN interface may only be
performed by qualified electrical engineering personnel.
Attention! Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage or destroy
components on the card. Take precautions to avoid ESD.
Set the solder bridges corresponding to the desired settings.
Following figure on the next page shows the positions of the solder fields of the quad
channel card. The solder fields for the single and double channel card are located in
the same positions and can therefore also be taken from the figure. The table below
contains the possible settings.
