The PCIe-8510 is a hardware-selectable controller area network (CAN) and/or local interconnect network (LIN) interface for developing applications with the NI-XNET driver. The PCIe-8510 excels in applications requiring real-time, high-speed manipulation of hundreds of CAN frames and signals, such as hardware-in-the-loop simulation, rapid control prototyping, bus monitoring, automation control, and more. The NI-XNET device-driven DMA engine enables the on-board processor to move CAN frames and signals between the interface and the user program without CPU interrupts, minimizing message latency and freeing host processor time for processing complex models and applications.
