4 1 Introduction Tip: At the end of this manual (Appendix B) you can find a Quick Reference with brief information about the installation and operation of the PCAN-PCI card. With PCAN-PCI, an add-on card for the PCI bus in the PC, you can connect one or with the dual-channel version even two CAN busses. With the help of the card any PC can be linked to a High-speed CAN (HS-CAN). The applications running on the PC are the CAN nodes. With the so-called ISO version of the card an isolation of up to 500 V between the PC and the CAN parts of the adapter is achieved by use of a DC/DC converter and an optocoupler. Note: This manual refers to different versions of the PCAN-PCI card (see also Products taken into account on page 2). Differences at use and at the technical specifications are mentioned accordingly in this manual. 1.1 Properties at a Glance Connection of one (with the dual-channel version two) Highspeed CAN (CAN specifications 2.0A und 2.0B) at the PC Extension card for PCI slot in the PC Equipped with the CAN controller SJA1000T by Philips CAN transfer rate up to 1 MBit/s CAN connection 9-pin Sub-D male, pin assignment according to CiA recommendation DS102 Galvanic isolation for CAN connection up to 500 V (ISO versions only) 4

You can find device drivers for Linux and the corresponding information on PEAK-System's website under System Requirements The following prerequisites must be given, so that the PCAN-PCI card can be used properly: An empty PCI slot in the PC Operating system Windows (98 SE, ME, 2000, XP) or Linux 1.3 Scope of Supply The scope of supply normally consists of the following parts: PCAN-PCI card CD-ROM with software (drivers, utilities), programming examples, and documentation 5

6 2 Installation This chapter deals with the software setup for the PCAN-PCI card under Windows, the installation of the card in the PC, and the connection of a High-speed CAN. 2.1 Software Setup / Installation in the PC We recommend that you setup the driver before installing the PCAN-PCI card into the PC. Note: The following instructions are valid only for Windows 2000 and Windows XP. If you use the operating systems Windows 98 SE or Windows ME, please contact the customer support (address: see page 2). Do the following to setup the driver and, if applicable, additional software: 1. Please make sure that you are logged in as user with administrator privileges (not needed for normal use of the PCAN-PCI card later on). 2. Insert the supplied CD-ROM into the PC. Usually a navigation program appears a few moments later. If not, start the file Intro.exe from the root directory of the CD- ROM. 3. Navigate through the menus to the driver installation for the PCAN-PCI card (English > Drivers > PCAN-PCI). Click on Install now afterwards. The setup program for the driver is executed. 4. Follow the instructions of the setup program. 6

7 Tip: During this procedure you may additionally install the CAN monitor PCAN-View for Windows (see also section 3.1). 5. Turn off the PC. Do the following to install the PCAN-PCI card into the PC: 1. Disconnect the PC from the mains supply either by using the switch on the PC's power supply unit or by unplugging the mains plug. 2. Open the PC's casing. 3. Insert the PCAN-PCI card into an empty PCI slot. For details please refer to the documentation of the PC. 4. Close the PC's casing. 5. If applicable, re-connect the mains cable of the PC and switch on the power supply unit. Do the following to complete the initialization: 1. Turn on the PC and start Windows. Please make sure again that you are logged in as user with administrator privileges. 2. Windows reports that new hardware has been detected and possibly starts an installation wizard. This depends on the used Windows version. If applicable, confirm the steps for driver initialization. 3. Afterwards you can work as user with restricted rights again, if applicable. After the driver has been successfully set up you can find the entry "PEAKCAN PCI-card" in the branch "CAN-Hardware" of the Windows Device Manager. 7

The pin assignment corresponds to the CiA recommendation DS Figure 2: Pin assignment HS-CAN (view onto a male connector of the PCAN-PCI card) Volt Supply at the CAN Connector A 5-Volt supply can optionally be routed to pin 1 and/or pin 9 of the CAN connector (independently for each CAN connector on the dualchannel version) by setting solder bridges on the PCAN-PCI card. Thus devices with low power consumption (external transceivers or optocouplers, for example) can be directly supplied via the CAN connector. 8

9 When using this option the 5-Volt supply is connected to the power supply of the PC and is not fused separately. The ISO versions of the card contain an interconnected DC/DC converter. Therefore the current output is limited to about 50 ma. Attention! At this procedure a special care is indispensable since there is a short circuit danger. The PCAN-PCI card could be destroyed and/or the power supply or electronics of the PC or other components connected could be damaged. 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. external transceivers or optocouplers) to or from the PCAN-PCI card while the PC is deenergized. Important note: PEAK-System Technik GmbH does not give guarantee on damages which have resulted from application of the option described in this section. Set the solder bridge(s) on the card according to the desired settings. Fi gure 3 shows the positions on the card; the table below contains the possible settings. 9

11 3 Software 3.1 PCAN-View for Windows PCAN-View for Windows is a simple CAN monitor. Installation You can install the application optionally during the driver setup procedure (see also section 2.1 Software Setup / Installation in the PC). Program Start In the Start menu of the Windows desktop you can find the entry "PCAN Hardware". From there you can execute the program PCAN- View. A dialog for the selection of the CAN hardware as well as the setting of the CAN parameters appears after the program start. Figure 4: Selection of the CAN specific hardware and parameters 11

12 From the list "Available CAN hardware" select the CAN channel to be used (with dual-channel version only). As a rule you can use the (remaining) preset values and confirm the dialog box directly. If you need further help after the program start, use the online help provided with the program (key [F1]). 3.2 Linking Own Programs with PCAN-Light On the supplied CD-ROM you can find files that are provided for software development. You can access them with the navigation program (button Programming). The files exclusively serve the linking of own programs to hardware by PEAK-System with the help of the installed device driver under Windows. Further more the CD-ROM contains header files and examples for creating own applications in conjunction with the Light drivers. Please read the detailed documentation of the interface (API) in each header file. Tip: You can find further information in the file PCANLight_enu.chm (Windows Help file) on the CD-ROM. Notes about the License Device drivers, the interface DLL and further files needed for linking are property of the PEAK-System Technik GmbH (PEAK-System) and may be used only in connection with a hardware component purchased from PEAK-System or one of its partners. If a CAN hardware component of third party suppliers should be compatible to one of PEAK-System, then you are not allowed to use or to pass on the driver software of PEAK-System. PEAK-System assumes no liability and no support for the PCAN- Light driver software and the necessary interface files. If third party suppliers develop software based on the PCAN Light driver and 12

13 problems occur during use of this software, please, consult the software provider. To obtain development support, you need to own a PCAN Developer or PCAN Evaluation version. 13

14 4 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Question Does PCAN-PCI also work with DOS? Do I need to install the Windows driver two times when using the dual-channel version? Does the dual-channel version use two interrupts? Can I use several PCAN- PCI cards in the same PC? Answer No. PEAK-System doesn't provide a driver for this operating system. In order to have a CAN connection with DOS you may alternatively use PCAN-ISA, for example, assuming that the PC has extension slots for ISA cards. If not, the external CAN adapter PCAN-Dongle is available for connection to the parallel port. No. A single installation procedure is sufficient. In the Windows Device Manager PCAN-PCI Dual Channel appears once under CAN-Hardware, where in PCAN applications two CAN channels are available. No. All available versions of the PCAN- PCI card only use a single interrupt. The dual-channel version uses two different port addresses for the CAN channels. Yes. 14
