Two channel Mini PCI Express interface CAN/CAN FD Kvaser Mini PCI Express 2xHS

Two channel Mini PCI Express interface CAN/CAN FD Kvaser Mini PCI Express 2xHS (EAN: 73-30130-00743-7) offering silent mode, error frame detection and an on-board buffer, the small form factor board fits any embedded data acquisition systems, but is particularly suitable for fleet management to monitor key parameters such as fuel economy, engine speed, braking and accelerator pressure, and gearshift patterns.

I. Major features of Two channel Mini PCI Express interface Kvaser Mini PCI Express 2xHS

• Supports a bit rate from 40 to 1000 kbit/s and a CAN transfer rate up to 20000 messages/s.
• Time stamp accuracy is 25μs.
• Low profile connector complies with the mini PCI Express standard, which connects via a cable to a DSUB (or other type) at the computer housing.
• A 7 pin Molex connector provides dual CAN channel access.
• Complies with EN 61000-6-2:2005, specifying EMC immunity for industrial environments.
• Operates over the industrial temperature range of -40 to +85°C.
• Kvaser’s free-of-charge CANlib SDK can be used to develop software for the Mini PCI Express HS board.
• Support for Linux, in the form of drivers and a dedicated SDK, are available as a separate download.

II. Additional software and documentation

• Additional software and documentation
• The Kvaser CANlib SDK includes everything you need in order to develop software applications interacting with Kvaser CAN and LIN hardware. The SDK contains full documentation and many sample programs, written in C, C++, C#, Delphi, Python and Visual Basic. Kvaser CAN and LIN hardware is built around the same common software API. Applications developed using one device type will run without modification on other device types.
• The latest versions of documentation, software and drivers can be downloaded for free at: www.kvaser.com/download.

III. Kvaser Mini PCI Express 2xHS hardware

Hardware installation:

• The Kvaser Mini PCI Express may be inserted in any free Mini PCI Express slot on the host computer that supports USB. You do need to switch the power off before inserting or removing the device. For the Kvaser Mini PCI Express to communicate with the host computer, compatible versions of the Kvaser driver and firmware must be used. The firmware is downloaded and installed directly on the Kvaser Mini PCI Express. The driver is installed on the host computer.
• The latest version of the drivers: kvaser_drivers_setup.exe, and firmware can be downloaded from: www.kvaser.com/download.
