why do we use the CAN breakout box.

[Navish]

Hi,

I am relatively new to the CAN networks and i am having some difficulties understanding some basic concepts and i would be grateful if someone can help me out.

so my questions are as follows:

what's the use of the CAN breakout box apart from providing external power?

i am working with the following equipments

NI - 9862 and NI cDAQ-9174 chassis.

I would like to know what model of CAN controler is present in the NI 9862 module and where is the microcontroler found, in the Ni 9862 module or Chassis?

Thanking you in advance.

Regards

Bonjour,

je suis nouveau en ce qui concerne le réseau CAN et j'ai du mal à comprendre des petits chose. Je veux savoir quel modèle de controleur CAN est présent dans le NI-9862?

où se trouve le microcontroleur dans le chassis ou le module ni-9862?

est-ce que je peut connecter 2 modules NI 9862 directement sans passer par le boitier d'extension?

Cordialement.
