National Instruments 777707-01 CAN Module  

National Instruments part number 777707-01 is an identifying part number for the PXI-8461/1 a PXI-CAN Interface Module. The NI 777707-01 is a high-speed Controller Area Network (CAN) interface module. It supports communication with devices that operate at maximum transfer rates of 1 Mbps. Typical applications for this rapid CAN interface include Antilock Brake Systems (ABS), motor control modules, and emission systems. It also supports low-speed/fault-tolerant CAN interfaces, capable of communicating with devices at up to 125 kb/s and equipped with transceivers featuring fault confinement capabilities. Users can interact with specific CAN channels effortlessly using the Test Panel, a simple troubleshooting tool designed to experiment with CAN channels. 

This graphical interface tool reads CAN data in engineering units, allowing users to plot data or write it to the device. For comprehensive monitoring of CAN bus activity, the Bus Monitor utility provides an easy-to-use interface to view all CAN traffic and log it to disk. It offers options for controlling, displaying, and viewing bus statistics. The National Instruments 777707-01 CAN Module includes NI-CAN software compatible with Windows 2000/NT/XP/Me/98. This software package encompasses device drivers for application development and firmware that runs on the embedded Intel 80386EX chip. 

The NI-CAN device drivers are full 32-bit drivers designed for Windows 2000/NT/XP/Me/98 and are compatible with development environments like NI LabVIEW and LabWindows/CVI. The firmware implements time-critical features supported by NI-CAN software, providing flexible yet user-friendly capabilities for configuration and I/O on CAN networks. 

CAN single-cable interfaces support communication with devices at higher speeds, up to 33.3 kb/s (88.3 kb/s in rapid mode). Typical single-cable devices found in vehicles include comfort features like seat and mirror adjusters. Users can configure the software-selectable CAN interface for rapid communication, low-speed/fault-tolerant operation, or CAN single-cable mode. Multiple transceiver hardware options are available to meet the needs of applications requiring a combination of communication standards.
