1 Introduction
The CAN interface PCAN-PCI/104-Express for a PC/104-Plus computer is available as a
version with one, two, or four channels. The CAN bus is connected via a 9-pin D-Sub
connector on the supplied slot bracket. Operation of up to four CAN interfaces
plugged into each other is possible.
Opto-decoupled CAN interfaces only: Galvanic isolation up to 500 V for each CAN
channel protects against the transmission of electrical interference peaks between
the CAN channels and the computer.
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.
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:
www.peak-system.com/quick/DL-Driver-E
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 Configuration
Before installing the CAN interface into a PC/104-Plus computer:
Check if you need the following configuration.
2.1 Voltage Supply of External Devices
Attention! The voltage supply for external devices is not protected
separately. Therefore, turn off the computer before you connect and
disconnect CAN cables or peripheral systems.
Optionally, an external voltage supply can be connected separately for each CAN
channel via solder bridges at pin 9 on the D-Sub connector. This allows external
devices to be supplied with a voltage of 5 V DC, for example bus converters
(PCAN-TJA1054 for Low-Speed-CAN). Pin 9 is not connected at delivery.
The current output is limited to
■100 mA without galvanic isolation.
■50 mA with galvanic isolation.
The lower current output of the versions with galvanic isolation is due to an
intermediate DC/DC converter.

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.
The solder fields for the power supply of external devices are located on the bottom
side of the bottom side of the CAN interface. The following picture shows the solder
field positions on the fourchannel card. The solder fields for the single and dual
channel versions are located in the same positions.
Set the solder bridge(s) on the card according to the desired settings.

Install the driver before you install the CAN interface.
3.1 Install Device Driver Setup
1. Download the device driver setup from our website:
www.peak-system.com/quick/DL-Driver-E
2. Unpack the file PEAK-System_Driver-Setup.zip
3. Double-click the file PeakOemDrv.exe
The driver setup starts.
4. Follow the program instructions.
3.2 Install CAN interface
Attention! Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage or destroy
components on the card. Take precautions to avoid ESD.

4 Connecting the CAN Bus
4.1 Connection over D-Sub Connector
After the slot bracket has been connected to the CAN interface a CAN bus can be
connected to the D-Sub connector. The pin assignment of the D-Sub connector
corresponds to the specification CiA® 303-1:
10-pin connector
on CAN interface
D-Sub plug on
slot bracket, 9-pin
Assignment
2 6 GND
3 2 CAN_Low
4 7 CAN_High
5 3 GND
8 9 +5 V (optional)
1, 6, 7, 9, 10 1, 4, 5, 8 None
4.2 Cabling
4.2.1 Termination
The High-speed CAN bus (ISO 11898-2) must be terminated with 120 Ω on both ends.
The termination prevents interfering signal reflections and ensures the proper
operation of the transceivers of the connected CAN nodes (CAN interfaces,
controldevices).
The CAN interface PCAN-PCI/104-Express does not have an internal termination. Use
the CAN interface on a terminated CAN bus.

4.2.2 Example of a Connection
This example shows a connection between the PCAN Interface and a control unit
(ECU). The upper example shows a connection with a cable which is terminated with
120 Ω at both ends. At the lower example the connection is made with termination
adapters.

4.2.3 Maximum Bus Length
The maximum bus length depends primarily on the bit rate:
Nominal bit rate Buslength
1 Mbit/s 40 m
500 kbit/s 110 m
250 kbit/s 240 m
125 kbit/s 500 m
50 kbit/s 1.3 km
20 kbit/s 3.3 km
10 kbit/s 6.6 km
5 kbit/s 13 km
The listed values have been calculated on the basis of an idealized system and can
differ from reality.
