Data Job

Maximize your advanced CAN system effortlessly with the Kvaser PCIe 8xCAN, a compact, scalable, and real-time interface offering eight CAN/CAN FD channels in a single PCIe x1 slot.

The Kvaser PCIe 8xCAN is highly scalable. Multiple boards can be connected to capture data from tens of CAN channels at a time. An example is hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) suites for automotive testing, where 40 CAN channels are commonly required.

Major Features

Supports CAN FD.
Quick and easy plug-and-play installation.
Supports High Speed CAN (ISO 11898-2).
Supports both 11-bit (CAN 2.0A) and 29-bit (CAN 2.0B active) identifiers.
