1Introduction

The PCAN-miniPCI card provides one or two CAN channels in com-

puters with Mini PCI slots (e.g. in the embedded domain). Device

drivers and programming interfaces exist for different operating

systems, so programs can easily access a connected CAN bus.

Tip: At the end of this manual (Appendix C) you can find a

Quick Reference with brief information about the installation

and operation of the PCAN-miniPCI card.

2Installing the Software and

the Card

This chapter covers the software setup for the PCAN-miniPCI card

under Windows and the installation in the computer.

Setup the driver before installing the PCAN-miniPCI card.

Do the following to install the driver:

1. Windows XP only: Make sure that you are logged in as user

with administrator privileges (not needed for normal use of

the PCAN-miniPCI card later on).

2. Insert the supplied CD into the appropriate drive of the

computer. Usually a navigation program appears a few

moments later. If not, start the file Intro.exe from the root

directory of the CD.

3. On the page English > Drivers activate the entry PCAN-PCI.

4. Click on Install now. The setup program for the driver is

executed.

5. Follow the instructions of the setup program.

Tip: If you don't want to install the CAN monitor PCAN-View for

Windows onto the hard disk together with the driver, you have

the option to start the program later directly from CD without

prior installation.

Do the following to install the card in the computer:

Attention! Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage or destroy

components on the PCAN-miniPCI card. Take precautions to

avoid ESD when handling the card.

1. Shut down the computer.

2. Disconnect the computer from the power supply.

3. Open the computer's casing.

4. Insert the PCAN-miniPCI card into an empty Mini PCI slot.

For details please refer to the documentation of the

computer.

5. For each CAN channel mount a D-Sub connector with

connection PCB into a respective hole of the computer

casing.

6. For each CAN channel interconnect a D-Sub connector and

the corresponding port on the PCAN-miniPCI card.

PCAN-miniPCI – User Manual

Do the following to complete the initialization:

1. Turn on the computer and start Windows. Make sure that

you are logged in as user with administrator privileges.

Windows notifies that new hardware has been detected.

2. Windows XP only: A Wizard dialog box appears. Follow its

instructions. Deny the search for driver software at

Windows update and select the automatic software

installation during the procedure.

All Windows operating systems: The drivers are found and

installed by Windows.

3. Afterwards you can work as user with restricted rights

again.

After the initialization process is finished successfully you can find

the entry “PCAN-miniPCI” in the branch “CAN-Hardware” of the

Windows Device Manager.

3Connecting the CAN Bus

3.1 D-Sub connector

A High-speed CAN bus (ISO 11898-2) is connected to the 9-pin

D-Sub connector. The pin assignment corresponds to the

specification CiA® 102.

Figure 2: Pin assignment High-speed CAN

(view onto a D-Sub connector)

With pin 1 devices with low power consumption (e.g. bus conver-

ters) can be directly supplied via the CAN connector. At delivery this

pin is not assigned. You can find a detailed description in the follo-

wing section 3.2.

Tip: You can connect a CAN bus with a different transmission

standard via a bus converter. PEAK-System offers different bus

converter modules (e.g. PCAN-TJA1054 for a Low-speed CAN

bus according to ISO 11898-3).

PCAN-miniPCI – User Manual

Figure 3: PCAN-miniPCI card with connection cable

To connect a CAN bus to the PCAN-miniPCI card, use the supplied

special connection cables. After you've plugged in the cable on the

PCAN-miniPCI card, you can connect a CAN bus to the D-sub socket.
