1 Introduction
The CAN interfacePCAN-miniPCIeFD for an PCI Express Mini slot is available as a
version with one, two, or four channels. With its small format, the CAN interface is
ideal for embedded PCs, single board computers (SBC) and compact embedded
applications. Depending on the version, up to four CAN FD and CAN type fieldbuses
can be connected. Galvanic isolation up to 300 volts for each CAN channel protects
against the transmission of electrical interference peaks between the CAN channels
and the computer.
The CAN FD standard (CAN with Flexible Data rate) is primarily characterized by
higher bandwidth for data transfer. The maximum of 64 data bytes per CAN FD frame
(instead of 8 so far) can be transmitted with bit rates up to 12 Mbit/s. CAN FD is
downward compatible to the CAN 2.0 standard, CAN FD nodes can be inserted into
already existing CAN networks without CAN FD extensions.
The monitor software PCAN-View and the programming interface PCAN-Basic for the
development of applications with CAN connection are included in the scope of
supply and support CAN FD.
This manual describes the use of the CAN interface with Windows.

At the end of this manual you can find a Quick Reference with brief
information about the installation and operation of the CAN interface.

2 Installation
This chapter covers the software setup for the CAN interface PCAN-miniPCIeFD in
Windows and the installation of the CAN interface in the computer.
Note: For installation on Linux, see Appendix D Linux.
Install the driver before you install the CAN interface.
2.1 Install Device Driver Setup
1. Download the device driver setup from our website:
www.peak-system.com/quick/DL-Driver-E
2. Unpack the file PEAK-System_Driver-Setup.zip
3. Double-click the file PeakOemDrv.exe
The driver setup starts.
4. Follow the program instructions.
2.2 Connect the CAN interface
Attention! Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage or destroy
components on the card. Take precautions to avoid ESD.
CAN ports: on the left QuadChannel, on the right
DoubleChannel.
DoubleChannel with connection cables.

1. Shut down the computer.
2. Disconnect the computer’s power supply.
3. Open the computer case.
4. Insert the CAN interface into an empty PCI Express Mini slot.
5. For each CAN channel, mount a D-Sub connector of the connection cable in a
suitable recess of the computer housing.
6. For each CAN channel interconnect the SUR socket connector of the connection
cable and the SUR header on the CAN interface.
7. Close the computer case.
8. Reconnect the computer power supply.
9. Turn on the computer and start Windows.
Windows detects the new hardware and completes the driver installation.
2.3 Check Operational Readiness
1. Open the Windows Start menu.
2. Type Peak Settings and press |Enter|.
The window PEAK Settings appears.
3. Select CAN Hardware.
The connected CAN interface is displayed.

3 Connecting the CAN Bus
3.1 Connection over D-Sub Connector
After the connection cable has been connected to the CAN interface a CAN bus can
be connected to the D-Sub connector. The pin assignment of the D-Sub connector
corresponds to the specification CiA® 303-1:
CAN interface Connection cable
SUR header
Type: SM05B-SURS-TF
SUR socket
Type: 05SUR-32S
D-Sub plug, 9-pin
Assignment
3 3 3, 6 CAN_GND
4 4 7 CAN_High
5 5 2 CAN_Low
1, 2 1, 2 1, 4, 5, 8, 9 None
3.2 Daisy Chain
The daisy chain can be activated via solder jumpers on the board to connect a CAN-
FD-optimized connection to an existing CAN bus. This makes interference-free
operation possible at higher CAN FD bit rates, because stubs and Y distributions are
avoided as far as possible.
