PCI-1682U

PCI-1682U is a specialized communication card from Advantech, which allows you to connect two independent CAN ports to the computer via the Universal PCI bus. Each of the inputs is equipped with optoisolation to protect the system against any permanent surges up to 1000VDC. Additionally, the ports have an automatic transmission repeat function and are assigned an independent base address. Along with the product, the manufacturer supplies the Advantech CANopen Protocol Library (acoapi) library package. They are easy to use, allow quick configuration, operation and monitoring of devices compatible with the CANOpen standard. Due to the high compatibility, PCI-1682U can be used in various systems of machine operation, production, IT, etc.

Controller Area Network (CAN)
The CAN bus was originally developed by Bosch for use in cars. It is a serial bus system particularly suitable for networks with I / O devices. The CANOpen version, modified for industrial automation applications, ensures fast error detection and control, efficient sending of urgent messages and diagnosis of network failures. It is also characterized by high resistance to electromagnetic interference. Thanks to cyclical or event-driven communication, this standard lowers the network load and shortens the communication time. A wide package of alarm and time stamping objects makes it very flexible and can be used even in demanding applications
