Introduction

PCI-1680U/1682U and PCL-841 are Isolated Dual-port CAN communication cards.
Each provides two isolated CAN ports for communication applications in difficult envi-
ronments. The chip on the CAN cards is SJA1000. The SJA1000 is a single chip
solution for PC-based CAN port and parallel expansion add-in cards.
This chapter outlines the CAN card's windows DLL driver software requirement spec-
ifications. Including functionality, performance, and user interface requirements. It
applies to programming the CAN cards Windows unified DLL driver, including the
driver for PCL841 and PCI1680.

4.2 Overview of Advantech CAN Windows
WDM&CE Driver
Advantech CAN Windows WDM&CE Driver is composed of bus drivers, ports drivers,
tools and examples.Bus drivers and ports drivers, which run in PeliCAN mode, are
used to drive SJA1000 chip on Advantech CAN device.Bus drivers and ports drivers
are compliant with PCI and ISA bus, and provide the users with coherent operation
interfaces. Users can directly write applications with windows API.Examples of VC,
VB, VB.NET, C#.NET, VC.NET, eVC are supplied in the package, providing a refer-
ence for users to develop applications. When developing work is completed, users
can use test tools to verify if functions of the application are correct.
Features
Supports CAN 2.0B Protocol and compatible with CAN 2.0A Protocol, which
means both Standard frame and Extended frame can be dealt with.
Supports single filter mode and dual filter mode.
Supports Listen-Only Mode.
Supports self reception mode on WDM platform.
Provides API interface similar to windows standard serial port, easy to develop.
Provides tools like CANTest, CANDemo to test the basic functions.
Provides CANMonitor to monitor CAN/CANopen network. A maximum of
1000000 frame data can be reserved a time and meanwhile CAN/CNAopen
messages can be dealt with.
Provides interface COTI.DLL of CANopen Conformance Test Tool. The COTI
DLL allows users to use the CANopen Conformance Test Tool of CiA(CAN in
Automation) with Advantech CAN WDM Driver.
