5(17) 2.2 General Description The Kvaser PCI104 board is an interface between the PCI bus of a PCI-104 system and the CAN bus. Compact and self-stacking, it complies with the flexible PCI-104 specification. You can with benefit use several Kvaser PCI104 boards on the same PCI-104 system.
Kvaser PCI104 User's Guide 6(17) 3 Kvaser PCI104 Hardware This chapter describes the hardware properties of the Kvaser PCI104 board. 3.1 Schematics The connectors and switches on the Kvaser PCI104 board are shown below in Figure 1. CAN2 Board Number...
Kvaser PCI104 User's Guide 7(17) 3.2 Technical Specification The technical specification for the product version of the Kvaser PCI104 board presented in Table 1. Table 1. Kvaser PCI104 with IDC Headers CAN connectors. PC interface PCI104 Stack-through connector Voltage Signaling Supports 5 V and 3.3 V...
3.4 Stack-Through Connector The PCI104 specification establishes a standard for the use of a high speed PCI bus in embedded applications. The Kvaser PCI104 modules are self-stacking and do not require a card cage or other interconnect support. In addition, the modules are also stackable with standard PC/104-plus modules.
BIOS’s will let you do so. Note that it is perfectly normal for PCI devices to share a single interrupt in the PC. Kvaser PCI104 will work without problems when sharing the interrupt with other PCI devices.
10(17) 4.5 Setting the Board Number Switch You can stack up to four Kvaser PCI104 devices on a PCI-104 system, but each board must have a unique slot address. The board number switch for that purpose, see Figure 2. This switch can be set to 0, 1, 2 and 3 programming the board to be located at slot 1, 2, 3 or 4 respectively.
The Kvaser PCI104 has two independent CAN channels located as seen in Figure 1. Figure 3: One of the CAN connectors on a PCI104 HS/HS board with IDC male headers. The CAN channels have a 10 pin IDC male header connector as seen in Figure 3.
5 V, it must also provide 3.3 V. However, not all computers follow the standard here. If your Kvaser PCI104 board is not responding after installation, it could be a good idea to check the computer documentation if the PCI slots really are compliant to the PCI standard.
Kvaser PCI104 User's Guide 13(17) 4.10 Do’s and Don’ts In case of trouble, do verify that you have at least one terminator on the CAN bus. Kvaser AB, Mölndal, Sweden — www.kvaser.com...
