CAN-IB640/PCIe
Active CAN FD Interface for PCI Express
4 x CAN FD/CAN (switchable), 4 x LIN
With the CAN-IB640/PCIe HMS offers a CAN FD interface board based on a modern and highly modular architecture concept. The interface is available with up to four CAN channels. Each channel can send and receive either CAN FD or CAN 2.0A/B messages. In addition four LIN channels are available.

Features and benefits
- Active card with 32 bit microcontroller
- Four CAN channels (High-Speed CAN or CAN FD)
- Four LIN channels
- All fieldbuses accessible via two D-Sub-9 connections
- Single Lane (x1) PCI-Express-Interface
- Galvanic isolation of the CAN interface
- Common driver interface support for all Ixxat CAN and CAN FD interfaces allows easy change of the PC interface type
- Powerful programming interface for Windows “VCI” and “ECI” for Linux and VxWorks
The CAN-IB640/PCIe is an active interface board which fulfills even high requirements in data pre-processing, like intelligent data handling and active filtering of the received and transmitted messages.
