CAN-AC2-PCI is a powerful vehicle interface that is perfect for use in various applications in engineering, manufacturing and test environments. It enables parallel access to several ECUs on up to two CAN buses simultaneously (important for diagnostic and test applications).
The CAN-AC2-PCI is a PCI card that provides two independent CAN bus channels with galvanic isolation, designed for vehicle electronics engineering, test, and manufacturing environments. It supports high‑speed CAN by default and can be equipped with optional low‑speed transceivers via piggyback modules.
The manual includes technical data such as power supply, memory, and temperature ranges, as well as delivery scope, system requirements, and optional accessories. It also describes the CAN‑API software and D‑PDU API for multi‑channel communication and diagnostic applications.
