PCAN-ExpressCard – User Manual

1Introduction

The PCAN-ExpressCard provides a connection between a CAN bus

and a laptop or desktop PC with an ExpressCard slot. The card is

available in single and dual-channel versions. There are also gal-

vanically separated versions which guarantee galvanic separation

up to a maximum of 300 Volts between the PC and CAN sides.

Device drivers and programming interfaces exist for different oper-

ating systems, so programs can easily access a connected CAN bus.

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-ExpressCard.

2Installing the Software and

the Card

This chapter covers the software setup for the PCAN-ExpressCard

under Windows and the installation in the computer.

Setup the driver before connecting the PCAN-ExpressCard for the

first time.

Do the following to install the driver:

1. Insert the supplied DVD into the appropriate drive of the

computer. Usually a navigation program appears a few

moments later. If not, start the file Intro.exe from the root

directory of the DVD.

2. In the main menu, select Drivers, and then click on

Install now.

3. Confirm the message of the User Account Control regarding

the "Installer Database of PEAK Drivers".

The setup program for the driver is started.

4. Follow the instructions of the program.

PCAN-ExpressCard – User Manual

Do the following to connect the PCAN-ExpressCard to the

computer and complete the initialization:

1. Insert the PCAN-ExpressCard into an ExpressCard slot of

your computer. The computer can remain powered on.

Windows notifies that new hardware has been detected. The

drivers are found and installed by Windows automatically.

After the initialization process for the driver for the CAN interface is

finished successfully an LED is on for each CAN connection of the

PCAN-ExpressCard. Furthermore, you can find the entry “PCAN-

ExpressCard” in the branch “CAN-Hardware” of the Windows

Device Manager.

3Connecting the CAN Bus

3.1 D-Sub Connector

A High-speed CAN bus (ISO 11898-2) is connected to the 9-pin D-

Sub connector. The pin assignment corresponds to the specification

CiA® 102.

Figure 1: Pin assignment High-speed CAN

3.2 Supplying External Devices via the CAN

Connector

Optionally a 5-Volt supply can be switched with the provided

Windows software PCAN-View onto pin 1 of a D-Sub CAN

connector (for the Dual Channel model simultaneously for both

CAN connectors). Thus devices with low power consumption (e.g.

bus converters) can be directly supplied via the CAN connector.

When using this option the 5-Volt supply is directly connected to the

power supply of the computer and is not fused separately. The

galvanically decoupled models of the card have an interconnected

DC/DC converter. Therefore the current output is limited to 50 mA.

You find further information about the use of this option in PCAN-

View in section 5.1.3 on page 19.

PCAN-ExpressCard – User Manual

Attention! Risk of short circuit! If the option described in this

section is activated, you may only connect or disconnect CAN

cables or peripheral systems (e.g. bus converters) to or from

the PCAN-ExpressCard while it is de-energized (the card is not

connected to the computer). Consider that some computers still

supply the ExpressCard slot with power even when they are

turned off (standby operation).

3.3 Cabling

3.3.1 Termination

A High-speed CAN bus (ISO 11898-2) must be terminated on both

ends with 120 Ohms. Otherwise, there are interfering signal

reflections and the transceivers of the connected CAN nodes (CAN

interface, control device) will not work.

The PCAN-ExpressCard does not have an internal termination. Use

the adapter on a terminated CAN bus.

3.3.2 Example of a Connection

Figure 2: Simple CAN connection

In this example, the PCAN-ExpressCard is connected with a control

unit by a cable that is terminated at both ends.
