PCAN-PC/104 – User Manual

1 Introduction
Tip: At the end of this manual (Appendix C) you can find a
Quick Reference with brief information about the installation
and operation of the PCAN-PC/104 card.
With the PCAN-PC/104 card you can connect a PC/104 or compatible
computer directly to a CAN bus and therefore simply integrate the
computer into a High-speed CAN network (HS-CAN).
With the opto-decoupled versions of the PCAN-PC/104 card an
isolation of up to 500 V between the computer and the CAN parts of
the card is achieved by use of a DC/DC converter and an
optocoupler.
Note: This manual refers to different versions of the PCAN-
PC/104 card (see also
Products taken into account
on page 2).
Differences at use and at the technical specifications are
mentioned accordingly in this manual.
