With the Ixxat CAN interface series, HMS offers a wide range of PC interfaces for CAN and CAN FD – enabling PC-based analysis, configuration, maintenance and control. All common PC interface standards are supported, from PCI, PCIe, PCIe Mini, PCIe 104 and USB to Bluetooth and Ethernet.
The VCI programming and CAN driver interface for Windows is provided free of charge and is suitable for Ixxat's analysis and configuration tools as well as for programming customer-specific applications.
Due to the interface-independent API of the CAN driver, it is possible to easily change between the CAN interface types offered by HMS – without changing the customer application. The VCI is available for all common Windows operating systems, including Windows 11. The scope of delivery includes the free canAnalyser Mini, which enables easy commissioning as well as initial analysis steps.
In addition to Windows, HMS also supports the Ixxat PC interfaces with CAN drivers for Linux and various real-time operating systems.
