Overview

Product overview

Key product information and technical features.

PCI-CAN belongs to National Instruments' NI-CAN interface family and provides a PCI-based connection to a high-speed CAN network. NI lists it separately from low-speed/fault-tolerant and software-selectable CAN variants.

Hardware generation matters for integration. NI-CAN 18.0 lists PCI-CAN Series 1 and Series 2 support, but explicitly excludes certain pre-1998 PCI-CAN boards and directs those boards to NI-CAN 2.2. Confirm the physical board identification before choosing a driver release.

PCI card format for host-computer CAN connectivity.
High-speed CAN physical-layer interface, distinct from the PCI-CAN/LS and PCI-CAN/XS variants.
9-pin male D-SUB CAN connection using the pinout recommended by CiA DS 102.

FAQ

Product-specific questions

Product-specific answers based on available technical information.

Is PCI-CAN a high-speed or low-speed CAN interface?

NI classifies PCI-CAN as a high-speed CAN interface. PCI-CAN/LS and PCI-CAN/LS2 are separately identified low-speed/fault-tolerant models.

Which connector does PCI-CAN use for the CAN network?

NI's high-speed CAN pinout documentation lists PCI-CAN and specifies a 9-pin male D-SUB connector with the CiA DS 102 recommended pinout.

Can one NI-CAN driver release support every PCI-CAN revision?

Do not assume universal revision support. NI-CAN 18.0 excludes pre-1998 PCI-CAN boards with part numbers 183887A-01 and 183887B-01 and directs those boards to NI-CAN 2.2. The supplied record does not establish whether this unit is one of those revisions.
