application in 8 bit slots CPC-XTI can be used
in space restricted conditions as well.
Designed for industrial series applications
CPC-XTI has a robust and cost efficient
construction.
CPC-XTI eases the development of
application software on the PC. The integrated
microcontroller takes load of the PC-CPU and
buffers and preprocesses CAN messages. A
high level programming interface with modular
design results in efficient software
development. A library of interface routines for
Borland C++, Borland Pascal and Microsoft C
is included.
CPC-XTI is shipped with one or two CAN
channels. For high volume applications cost
optimized versions without galvanic
decoupling and with PROM based code
storage are available.
Interrupt channels3-7aresupported.
1.3 Sample Applications
The application area of CPC-XTI is wide.
Some sample applications are detailed in the
following and supported by corresponding
software:
•
Online configuration of CAN networks
•
Network setup and analysis
•
Use of PCs as CAN nodes on the appli-
cation level
•
Visualisation of process parameters in
CAN based systems.
