1. Functions
1.1 Product Overview
CAN FD (CAN Flexible Data-rate) is the latest upgrade of the CAN bus, with a maximum of 64 bytes of data,
and a flexible data field with a baud rate of up to 5 Mbps.
The PCIeCANFD-400U CAN(FD) interface card is a PCIe to 4-channel CAN(FD) communication interface
card compatible with PCI Express r1.0a specification developed by Guangzhou ZLG Electronics. The
PCIeCANFD-400U interface card provides PCI Express x1 multi-function device peripheral controller interface,
which enables the computer to be easily connected to the CAN/CAN(FD) bus network to monitor multiple bus
networks in real time. It is easy to install and simple to use.
The PCIeCANFD-400U CAN(FD) interface card provides four completely independent isolated CAN (FD)
channels, conforming to CAN FD ISO 11898-1:2015 specification (compatible with CAN 2.0A/B standard). It
supports a transmission rate of up to 5 Mbps, which enables flexible and convenient applications. To improve
system reliability, the PCIeCANFD-400U interface card adopts 2,500 V DC electrically isolated CAN (FD)
transceiver module, which protects the computer from the influence of ground circulation and enhances the
system reliability in harsh environments.
The PCIeCANFD-400U interface card provides a unified application programming interface and complete
and diverse application demonstration codes, including development routines such as VC, VB, Delphi and
labview, which facilitates application development. PCIeCANFD-400U supports OPC interfaces and can be used
in configuration software that supports OPC. In addition, we provide powerful ZCANPRO general-purpose
CAN-BUS test software for CAN/CAN (FD) message sending and receiving and monitoring, which facilitates
development and debugging.
Note: In the following, PCIeCANFD-400U is collectively referred to as PCIeCANFD interface card.

2. Hardware Interfaces
2.1 CAN Communication Interface
The PCIeCANFD interface card uses a DB37 connector and a DB37 to 4xDB9 transfer cable. The signal
definition of the DB9 interface pins meets the requirements of the CiAstandard. Figure 2.3 shows the definition of
the DB37 signal, and Table 2.1 lists the definition of the DB9 pin signal.
As shown in Figure 2.1, the cable labels "0, 1, 2, 3" correspond to "CAN0, CAN1, CAN2, CAN3" respectively,
so that the DB9 interface is connected to the actual CAN-bus network.

2.4 Terminal Resistance
As shown in Figure 2.3, the CAN channel of the PCIeCANFD-400U interface card has a built-in 120Ω terminal
resistance.The interface card uses the DIP switches S1_1, S1_2, S1_3, and S1_4 to select whether the terminal
resistance of the corresponding CAN0, CAN1, CAN2, and CAN3 channels is connected to the bus network. As
shown in Figure 2.4, set whether the CAN channel uses the 120 ohm terminal resistance. Before delivery, the DIP
switch is set to "ON" by default, that is, the 120 ohm terminal resistance is connected to the corresponding bus
network.
The interface card corresponds to the CAN channel at the endpoint of a CAN network. Set the DIP switch of
the corresponding channel to "ON", or connect a 120 ohm terminal resistance between CAN_H and CAN_L of the
corresponding CAN channel.
