PMC / XMC offers 12 high-speed CAN bus channels
Date: 05/11/2013
XPort9200, a new conduction or air-cooled Switched Mezzanine Card (XMC) or PCI Mezzanine Card (PMC) with 12 high-speed ISO 11898-2 CAN bus channels is launched by Extreme Engineering Solutions. XPort9200 is said to be the industry’s first CAN bus XMC. All 12 isolated CAN bus 2.0A and 2.0B-compliant channels support speeds up to 1 Mbps and can be accessed through the PMC P14, XMC P16, or front panel connector.
Other features of XPort9200 as explained by extreme engineering are:
The XPort9200 can be mounted on any module that supports an air-cooled or conduction- cooled (VITA 20) XMC / PMC site. This enables access to at least 12 high-speed CAN channels for a significant number of COTS VPX, VME, CompactPCI (cPCI) and system-level products, including the X-ES 4th gen Intel Core™ i7 processor-based 3U VPX XPedite7570 and 3U cPCI XPedite7530.
When configured as an XMC, the XPort9200 supports a VITA 42.3-compliant x1 PCIe interface through its XMC P15 connector and routes all 12 CAN bus channels to its XMC P16 connector. When configured as a PMC, the XPort9200 supports a 32-bit PCI interface through its PMC P11 and P12 connectors and routes all 12 CAN bus channels to its PMC P14 connector. Front panel I/O and on-card termination are also available as a configuration options.
The XPort9200 eases system integration by utilizing industry-standard NXP SJA1000-compatible CAN controllers. This facilitates full support of Linux SocketCAN and helps to simplify software portability. Wind River VxWorks and Microsoft Windows drivers also are available.
