1 Introduction
The CAN adapter PCAN-ExpressCard 34 allows the connection of a
CAN bus to embedded PCs and laptops with ExpressCard slots. A
galvanic isolation of up to 300 Volts decouples the PC from the CAN
bus.
The monitor software PCAN-View and the programming interface
PCAN-Basic for the development of applications with CAN
connection are included in the scope of supply.
Device drivers exist for different operating systems, so programs
can easily access a connected CAN bus.
Tip: At the end of this manual (Appendix C) you can find a
Quick Reference with brief information about the installation
and operation of the PCAN-ExpressCard 34.

2 Installing the Software and
the Card
This chapter covers the software setup for the PCAN-ExpressCard
34 under Windows and the installation in the computer.
Install the driver before you install the adapter.
Do the following to install the driver:
1. Start Intro.exe from the root directory of the DVD.
The navigation program starts.
2. Select in the main menu Drivers and click on Install now.
3. Confirm the message of the User Account Control related
"Installer database of PEAK Drivers".
The driver setup starts.
4. Follow the program instructions.
Do the following to install the adapter:
1. Insert the PCAN-ExpressCard into an ExpressCard slot of
your computer. The computer can remain powered on.
Windows notifies that new hardware has been detected. The
drivers are found and installed by Windows automatically.
2. Check the LED on the adapter. If the LED is red, then the
driver was initialized successfully.

3 Connecting the CAN Bus
3.1 Connection over D-Sub Connector
A High-speed CAN bus (ISO 11898-2) is connected to the 9-pin D-
Sub connector. The pin assignment corresponds to the specification
CiA® 303-1.
Figure 1: Pin assignment High-speed CAN
3.2 Cabling
3.2.1 Termination
A High-speed CAN bus (ISO 11898-2) must be terminated on both
ends with 120 Ohms. Otherwise, there are interfering signal
reflections and the transceivers of the connected CAN nodes (CAN
interface, control device) will not work.
The PCAN-ExpressCard 34 does not have an internal termination.
Use the adapter on a terminated CAN bus.

3.2.2 Example of a Connection
Figure 2: Simple CAN connection
This example shows a connection between the PCAN-ExpressCard
34 and a control unit. The connection cable is terminated with 120
ohms at both ends.
3.2.3 Maximum Bus Length
High-Speed-CAN networks may have bit rates of up to 1 Mbit/s. The
maximum bus length depends primarily on the bit rate.
The following table shows the maximum possible CAN bus length
at different bit rates:
Bit rate Bus length
1 Mbit/s 40 m
500 kbit/s 110 m
250 kbit/s 240 m
125 kbit/s 500 m
50 kbit/s 1.3 km
20 kbit/s 3.3 km
10 kbit/s 6.6 km
5 kbit/s 13.0 km
The listed values have been calculated on the basis of an idealized
system and can differ from reality.

4 Operation
4.1 Status LED
The PCAN-ExpressCard 34 has a status LED which may be in one of
the following conditions:
Status LED Meaning
On There's a connection to a driver of the operating system.
Slow blinking A software application is connected to the CAN channel.
Quick blinking Data is transmitted via the connected CAN bus.
4.2 Removing the Adapter
Under Windows the icon for removing hardware safely is not used
with the PCAN-ExpressCard 34. You may remove the card from the
computer without any preparation under Windows.
