1 Introduction

The PCAN-miniPCIe card enables the connection of embedded PCs and laptops

with PCI Express Mini slots to CAN networks. There is galvanic isolation of up to

300Volts between the computer and CAN sides. The card is available as a single or

dual-channel version.

The package is also supplied with the CAN monitor PCAN-View for Windows and the

programming interface PCAN-Basic.

This manual describes the use of the CAN interface with Windows.

Device drivers and application information for Linux:

www.peak-system.com/quick/DL-Driver-E

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-miniPCIe in

Windows and the installation of the CAN interface in the computer.

Note: For installation on Linux, see Appendix E 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 Installation PCAN-miniPCIe

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 DualChannel. DualChannel 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 Installation PCAN-miniPCIe

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.

2 Installation PCAN-miniPCIe

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® 106:

CAN interface Connection cable Assignment

SUR header

Type: SM04B-SURS-TF

SUR socket

Type: 04SUR-32S

D-Sub plug, 9-pin

2 2 3, 6 CAN_GND

3 3 7 CAN_High

4 4 2 CAN_Low

1 1 1, 4, 5, 8, 9 None

3.2 Cabling

3.2.1 Termination

The High-speed CAN bus (ISO 11898-2) must be terminated with 120 Ω on both

ends. The termination prevents interfering signal reflections and ensures the

proper operation of the transceivers of the connected CAN nodes (CAN interfaces,

controldevices).

The CAN interface PCAN-miniPCIe does not have an internal termination. Use the

CAN interface on a terminated CAN bus.

3 Connecting the CAN Bus PCAN-miniPCIe

3.2.2 Example of a Connection

This example shows a connection between the PCAN Interface and a control unit

(ECU). The upper example shows a connection with a cable which is terminated

with 120 Ω at both ends. At the lower example the connection is made with

termination adapters.

3.2.3 Maximum Bus Length

The maximum bus length depends primarily on the bit rate:

Nominal bit rate Buslength

1 Mbit/s 40 m

500 kbit/s 110 m

250 kbit/s 240 m

125 kbit/s 500 m

50 kbit/s 1.3 km

20 kbit/s 3.3 km

10 kbit/s 6.6 km

5 kbit/s 13 km

The listed values have been calculated on the basis of an idealized system and can

differ from reality.

3.3 Example Application under Windows

As an example application for accessing the CAN interface, run the CAN monitor

PCAN-View from the Windows Start menu.
