query on PCI-CAN????

[Hariz]

Hi,          This is Harish Chincholi, new to this community.... Currently I am doing my master's programme(M.Tech)... I have been assigned a project on PCI-CAN... its Cross Channel data link using PCI-CAN... In which there are around 4 PC's Connected and data needs to be transmitted by 1 PC and simultaneously should recieve by rest 3 PC's... So I need to know how many PCI-CAN cards do i need to perform this demo. and any particular model(PCI-CAN type).. keeping in mind the cost factor... Thanks & Regards, Harish Chincholi, Project Trainee..

Kudos! Thanks!

Hello Harish,

You will need a PCI-CAN card in each PC.  A single port high speed card should be fine for this application.  If cost is an issue, you can also look at the USB-CAN modules.  Please note that these modules do not support the Channel API, so if you just want to send raw CAN frames from one computer to the three others, this would do.

Please let me know if you have any other questions or need more information to make your decision.

Have a great day.
