733-0130-00086-5 2 x SJA1000, TJA1053 drivers Please note that the product names for PCIcan-S, -D, -Q changed to PCIcan-HS, -HS/HS, - 4XHS during 2004/2005. This change was necessary due the introduction of PCIcan boards with low speed and single wire CAN bus drivers. In addition, the part number was shortened to the 6 last digits due practical reasons.
KVASER’s PCIcan cards for CAN systems feature up to four CAN controllers. The outputs from the CAN circuits are connected to a 25 pin DSUB (PCIcan-Q) or one or two 9-pin DSUB (all other types) via optocouplers and CAN bus driver circuits.
PC ground by a switch on the PCIcan board. Other Features Fast optocouplers between CAN circuits and drivers. • CAN driver part fed by the PC through DC/DC-converters (the PCIcan-SWC2, and - • SWC1 requires external power supply.) KVASER AB, Sweden - http://www.kvaser.com...

7(16) The PCIcan Hardware Installation PCIcan-D, -S, -LS2, -LS1, -SWC2, and -SWC1 have no switches and so are plug-and-play. PCIcan-Q has switches that allow you to 1) connect driver ground to PC ground (see “Selecting Driver Ground (PCIcan-Q only)” below), 2) connect any of the four CAN channels to a common CAN bus and possibly terminate the common bus (see “The Common CAN Bus (PCIcan-Q only)”...

PCIcan Hardware Reference Manual 8(16) The CAN Bus On PCIcan-Q, -D and –S, the CAN bus drivers are 82C251 type and compliant with the ISO 11898 physical layer standard. On PCIcan-LS2 and –LS1, the CAN bus drivers are of TJA1053 or TJA1054 type.

PC. You must supply power to the bus driver from an external source. The power shall be supplied to pin 9 on the D-SUB connector (s). For PCIcan-SWC2 you need to supply power to both connectors.

PCIcan Hardware Reference Manual 10(16) CAN Bus Termination (PCIcan-D, -S) The PCIcan-S and PCIcan-D do not have built-in termination as standard. There is room for mounting terminating resistors (R1, R3) which are located very close to the 9-pin DSUB connector(s).

This section is intended for those who want to program the PCIcan card directly. Normally, you would choose to use the supporting device drivers available for the PCIcan card. Refer to the “CANLIB Software Development Kit” documentation for further information on these device drivers from a programmer’s point of view.
PTADR signal. Interrupts The PCIcan uses one PCI bus interrupt, INTA#. It is asserted whenever one or more SJA1000’s have their interrupts active. To reset an active interrupt, read the interrupt status register in all present SJA1000s – the interrupt of the corresponding SJA1000 will then automatically clear.
The following data are configured automatically into the S5920 PCI controller when power is applied to the card. Item Value Vendor Id 0x10e8 Device Id 0x8406 (for all PCIcan boards) Revision Id Class Code 0xffff00 (means: no base class code defined for device) Subsystem Vendor Id Subsystem Device Id Configuration of the SJA1000 Refer to the SJA1000 data sheet for all details on how to program the SJA1000.

PCIcan Hardware Reference Manual 15(16) Support The PCIcan boards are supported by driver routines and program examples for Windows 95/98/ME and Windows NT/2000/XP. The software is distributed separately and is not further documented here. Please refer to the documentation that is packaged with the software. The software and its documentation are available from our web site, http://www.kvaser.com.
Anderson, D. 30974-2. Available from e.g. Annabooks, www.annabooks.com. http://www.kvaser.com contains much information on CAN and has many links to other sites with CAN information. You can also download new versions of the software for PCIcan here. Legal Information EMC Tests The equipment has been tested for compliance with the EN 50 081-2:1993 (emission) and the EN 50 082-2:1995 (immunity) standards.
