EB 5100

Powerful FlexRay and CAN interface hardware for PCI or PXI


Our EB 5100 FlexRay and CAN interface hardware features a sophisticated firmware concept and a high-performance microcontroller with ample computing power. You can integrate it into virtually any system thanks to its comprehensive driver support. You can also use our EB 5100 on various carrier boards in PCI, PXI, VME or also PHS bus-based systems because it complies with the PMC card standard. You can execute calculations that must be conducted in real-time directly onboard thanks to a 400 megahertz strong CPU.
