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.

Product-specific answers based on available technical information.
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.
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.
Yes. NI lists an external 8–18 V supply for PXI-8513 single-wire operation.
