The NI USB-8472s module is a 1-port low-speed/fault-tolerant CAN interface for connecting PCs to CAN networks and devices. It includes NI-CAN driver software, which provides a powerful, frame-based API for rapid application development.
Advanced Synchronization
The USB-8472s features a 3-pin COMBICON synchronization connector for synchronizing the internal hardware timebase with other devices, including NI USB CAN and LIN interfaces, as well as NI data acquisition, motion, and vision devices, with 1 MHz, 10 MHz, or 20 MHz clocks. Synchronization eliminates clock drift between devices, and you can implement triggering between devices for correlating CAN data with data from other devices.
Fault Tolerance
The Philips TJA1054A fault-tolerant CAN transceiver provides reliable communication in harsh electrical environments. In addition to bus-failure tolerance, the TJA1054a features a variety of additional protections, including the following:
Bus short-circuit to battery and ground
Thermal
Transient voltage (-150 to 100 V, ISO 7637 part 1)
All-in-One Design
The convenient all-in-one design features an integrated 2 m USB cable and built-in transceiver, requiring no extra cables or accessories to get applications running quickly. The USB-8472s is bus-powered and features standard electrical isolation up to 500 VDC (withstand, 2 s max) channel-to-bus.
Hardware Timestamping
With hardware timestamping, you can log messages with microsecond-accurate timestamps for reconstructing network events. The USB-8472s uses a 9-pin male D-SUB (DB9) connector to interface to CAN.
Advanced Functionality
The USB-8472s uses the Philips SJA1000 CAN controller, which provides advanced functionality such as listen-only mode, sleep/wakeup mode, error-counter access, and self-reception (echo) mode.
