PCAN-ISA

CAN Interface for ISA

Peak System PCAN-ISA card enables simple, cost-effective connection of computer systems with ISA slots to CAN networks. Multiple PCAN-ISA cards can easily be operated using interrupt sharing.

The card is available as a single or dual-channel version. The opto-decoupled versions also guarantee galvanic isolation of up to 500 Volts between the PC and the CAN sides.

The package is also supplied with the CAN monitor PCAN-View for Windows and the programming interface PCAN-Basic.
