The National Instruments 777357-02 CAN Interface Device, also known as the PCI-CAN/2, serves as a robust interface for Controller Area Network (CAN) applications. Designed for the development of CAN-based systems, it offers advanced features including multiple filtering modes, listen-only functionality, and self-reception (echo) capabilities. This device adheres to essential electrical and physical standards for CAN networks used in automotive applications. Utilizing the Intel 82527 CAN controller chip, the 777357-02 supports transmission rates of up to 1 Mb/s, ensuring high-performance communication.

With optical isolation rated up to 500 V and compliant with the high-speed CAN physical layer as per ISO 11898, the device maintains reliable operation even in challenging environments. It features two physical connector options, including DB-9 D-Sub and pluggable screw terminals in the Combicon style, providing exceptional connectivity versatility. The power supply for the CAN physical layer can be configured to operate either internally or externally, with jumpers allowing users to select the appropriate power source for each port.

Integration with other National Instruments devices and synchronization of multiple cards are facilitated via the Real-Time System Integration (RTSI) bus, which enables the transmission of timing and trigger signals through a ribbon cable connection. The software package accompanying the 777357-02 includes a comprehensive suite of tools for configuration, analysis, and application development, featuring customizable APIs tailored to specific test and simulation requirements. Its frame-based API from the NI-CAN driver software streamlines the application development process, ensuring efficient project execution.

Equipped with a TJA1041 transceiver and an Intel 80386EX microprocessor, the 777357-02 delivers dependable connectivity and effective data processing within industrial automation systems, operating at a minimum baud rate of 40 kbps to a maximum baud rate of 1 Mb/s while adhering to ISO 11898 specifications. The physical dimensions of the device are 8.15 inches by 4.4 inches and it requires a power supply of +5 VDC, 850 mA for optimal performance.
