102-1.
Figure 2: Pin assignment HS-CAN
(view onto a male connector of the PCAN-PCI card)
2.3 5-Volt Supply at the CAN Connector
A 5-Volt supply can optionally be routed to pin 1 and/or pin 9 of the
CAN connector (independently for each CAN connector on the dual-
channel version) by setting solder bridges on the PCAN-PCI card.
Thus devices with low power consumption (external transceivers or
optocouplers, for example) can be directly supplied via the CAN
connector.
8
PCAN-PCI (ISO) – User Manual
When using this option the 5-Volt supply is connected to the power
supply of the PC and is not fused separately. The ISO versions of
the card contain an interconnected DC/DC converter. Therefore the
current output is limited to about 50 mA.
Attention! At this procedure a special care is indispensable
since there is a short circuit danger. The PCAN-PCI card could
be destroyed and/or the power supply or electronics of the PC
or other components connected could be damaged.
Attention! Risk of short circuit! If the option described in this
section is activated, you may only connect or disconnect CAN
cables or peripheral systems (e.g. external transceivers or
optocouplers) to or from the PCAN-PCI card while the PC is de-
energized.
Important note: PEAK-System Technik GmbH does not give
guarantee on damages which have resulted from application of
the option described in this section.
Set the solder bridge(s) on the card according to the desired
settings. Fi shows the positions on the card; the table below
contains the possible settings.

4 Frequently Asked Questions
(FAQ)
Question Answer
Does PCAN-PCI also
work with DOS?
No. PEAK-System doesn't provide a
driver for this operating system. In order
to have a CAN connection with DOS you
may alternatively use PCAN-ISA, for
example, assuming that the PC has
extension slots for ISA cards. If not, the
external CAN adapter PCAN-Dongle is
available for connection to the parallel
port.
Do I need to install the
Windows driver two
times when using the
dual-channel version?
No. A single installation procedure is
sufficient. In the Windows Device
Manager PCAN-PCI Dual Channel
appears once under CAN-Hardware,
where in PCAN applications two CAN
channels are available.
Does the dual-channel
version use two
interrupts?
No. All available versions of the PCAN-
PCI card only use a single interrupt. The
dual-channel version uses two different
port addresses for the CAN channels.
Can I use several PCAN-
PCI cards in the same
PC?
Yes.
