Introduction

The PCAN-PC/104-Plus card enables the connection of one or two
CAN networks to a PC/104-Plus system. Up to four cards can be
operated, with each piggy-backing off the next. The CAN bus is
connected using a 9-pin D-Sub plug on the slot bracket supplied.
The card is available as a single or dual-channel version. The opto-
decoupled versions also guarantee galvanic isolation of up to 500
Volts between the PC and the CAN sides.
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.
Tip: At the end of this manual (Appendix C) you can find a
Quick Reference with brief information about the installation
and operation of the PCAN-PC/104-Plus card.
