CAN-AC PC/104 allows PC applications to exchange data with the connected CAN bus. Available in single and dual channel versions with flexible programming interface and integration with Mathworks xPC Target, CAN-AC PC/104 is a universal interface solution for almost any CAN application – whether it's machine controllers, PC-based applications, test rigs or real-time simulations. 

CAN-AC PC/104 provides an API that can be optimally configured to the application's requirements. In FIFO mode, all sent and received messages are buffered to ensure that no data is lost when the computer is busy with other tasks. The Object Buffer mode allows the application to filter messages of interest, and automatically buffers the data recently received by the application. The application can use this data when needed, and is not burdened with the other messages. The CAN-AC PC/104 interface board can automatically transmit the data on the bus in exact, individually configurable cycles.

A CANopen Client API is also included for use in CANopen networks.

In addition to Windows, the board supports many other operating systems and real-time environments. For applications used at operating temperatures between -25°C and +70°C, a suitable board is available as a standard version. On request, Softing’s team of engineers can customize the board according to customer specifications.
