Description
Field busses are used for communication between industrial hardware devices. Until now the realization of sequencing control was left to specialized software developers. With the simplification of software development in Windows with the help of Visual C, Borland Builder, Delphi, Visual Basic, etc., the PCAN-Evaluation and PCAN-Developer provide the missing link for the easy connection of CAN hardware to a PC.
The core of PCAN-Evaluation is a Windows System Driver (*.vxd or *.sys). This program works in the so called Rin-0 (Win 9x/ME) or Window's Kernel-Mode (Win NT/2000/XP). It is responsible for the establishment of the interface between the CAN application running on Windows and the CA hardware connected to the PC.
When developing programs for use with the PCAN system, a Dynamic Link Library (DLL) is used. The included API functions make communication with the system driver possible. Thus the realization of programs in C, Pascal Visual-Basic and Delphi is simple. the system driver supports any PC hardware from PEAK-System Technik. Therefore your software is compatible with this hardware as well. The PCAN developing packages contain detailed documentation that includes source code examples. Five drivers are included in the PCAN-Evaluation package that can be distributed freely by the licensee in connection with their own PCAN applications.
Features
- 32-bit Windows DLL Application Programming Interface (API)
- Interrupt triggered reception of CAN messages from hardware, saved in the driver's FIFO buffer with time stamp
- Event-controlled reception of CAN messages from the driver by Windows is possible
- Supports CAN protocols 2.0A (11-bit message-identifier) and 2.0B (29-bit message identifier)
- Detailed programmer's manual with fully executable sample source code
- Possible to send with timer by giving desired point of time to the system driver ("shoot-and-forget")
- Extensive tool box for configuration, parameterization and visualization of the CAN system
