1 Introduction

The CAN interface PCAN-PC/104 Plus Quad enables the connection of four CAN buses
to one PC/104-Plus computer. The CAN buses are each connected to the supplied slot
bracket via a 9-pin D-Sub connector. Operation of up to four CAN interfaces plugged
into each other is possible.
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.
