Overview

Product overview

Key product information and technical features.

The PXI-8513 combines multiple CAN physical-layer options in a software-selectable interface. Compared with the high-speed CAN PXI-8512, it adds low-speed/fault-tolerant and single-wire capabilities.

NI identifies hardware-in-the-loop simulation, rapid control prototyping, bus monitoring, and automation control as relevant applications.

  • Software-selectable CAN physical layers.
  • NI-XNET device-driven DMA transfers frames and signals without CPU interrupts.
  • Software-controlled 120 Ω termination in high-speed mode.

FAQ

Product-specific questions

Product-specific answers based on available technical information.

How does the PXI-8513 differ from the PXI-8512?

The PXI-8512 is a high-speed CAN FD interface. The PXI-8513 adds software-selectable low-speed/fault-tolerant and single-wire CAN capabilities. NI recommends checking both devices' specifications against the application requirements.

Can CAN termination be enabled through software?

Yes. In high-speed mode, the NI-XNET Interface:CAN:Termination property enables or disables the 120 Ω resistor between CAN_H and CAN_L.

Does single-wire CAN require external power?

Yes. NI lists an external 8–18 V supply for PXI-8513 single-wire operation.
