PCAN-M.2 (PCIe): CAN FD/CAN interface for M.2 PCIe
PCAN-M.2 (PCIe) Feature Overview
The CAN/CAN FD network can be connected to a PC via an M.2 (PCIe) interface for monitoring the CAN/CAN FD network, as well as sending, storing and filtering messages. Its small form factor makes the plug-in board particularly suitable for embedded computers, single board computers (SBCs) and compact embedded applications. The computer is galvanically isolated from the CAN up to 300 V. The board is available in single-channel and dual-channel versions. The board is available in single-, dual- and quad-channel versions.
The main feature of the new CAN FD standard (CAN with Flexible Data Rate) is the higher data transmission bandwidth. Each CAN FD frame can contain up to 64 data bits (instead of 8 bits) and can be transmitted at a bit rate of up to 12 Mbit/s. CAN FD is backward compatible with the CAN 2.0 A/B standard, so that CAN FD nodes can be used in existing CAN networks, in which case the CAN FD extension function will not be enabled.
The included Windows software PCAN-View is a simple CAN monitor for transmitting, receiving and recording CAN telegrams; the latest version supports the CAN FD standard.

CAN Interface Card FAQ
Technical support and paid services to drive your project to the limit.
HONGKE's PCAN interface card series has undergone rigorous testing and has been continuously stabilized for more than 3,000 hours, maintaining a stable connection without dropping frames.
Its hardware design has good anti-interference ability and with perfect error handling mechanism, it can maintain reliable communication during long time and high load tasks such as ECU software flashing and data calibration, and avoid flashing failure or data error due to tool problem.
We recommend the use of multi-channel high-performance CAN adapters such as PCAN-USB X6 maybe PCAN-PCIe FD Series.
These products support CAN FD baud rates up to 12 Mbps and provide up to 4 or 6 independent channels for high-speed synchronized data acquisition and recording on multiple CAN FD networks such as radars, cameras, domain controllers, etc., making them ideal tools for ADAS data recording and testing.
For harsh electromagnetic environments, we offer USB CAN adapters with galvanic isolation.
Electrical isolation protects the host computer and CAN network equipment by effectively blocking common mode interference from ground loops and suppressing surges and spikes.
Stable and reliable communication is maintained even in the environment of vehicle electrical systems or high-power laboratory equipment.
Can. Avision provides a unified and free PCAN-Basic API with native support for C++, C#, VB, .NET, Python, Java.
At the same time, the hardware can also use official or third-party interfaces in LabVIEW, MATLAB / Simulink, Qt and other environments, so that teams can develop and integrate in a familiar development environment.
Avision PCAN adapters provide microsecond time stamp resolution.
In multi-channel or cross-device synchronization scenarios, the hardware and drivers support a global time synchronization mechanism that ensures a consistent and accurate time base for all channels.
This is very important for analyzing communication timing across ECUs, locating incidental faults, and analyzing network delays, which can provide reliable data support for whole-vehicle network testing.
