While using CAN-boards for example by Peak, IXXAT or EMS Dr. Wünsche, a safe and fast data exchange as well as a quick reaction to external events are demanded. At this point the usual Windows drivers fail, because they are only usable from within the execution context and do not support real-time. The CAN module closes this gap and makes a real-time CAN communication possible.
The new real-time CAN module by Kithara completes the Windows extensions and realizes a lot of automation solutions which require real-time compliant CAN connection. The function library is used by developers who require a time critical handling with CAN messages for example machine builder and computer control companies. At present boards with 1, 2 and 4 port/channels are supported.
CAN messages are stored in the cache during the process of sending and receiving through a simple API, that can be used intuitionally. Custom-made real-time message filters as well as exception-handling routines can be installed additionally. The Listen-Only-Mode is also supported. For easy diagnosis Kithara upgraded the »Kernel Tracer« with the result that you can capture all CAN-data streams in a resolution of microseconds.
The programming languages C/C++ or Delphi can be used. Even the .NET environment using e.g. C# is supported, as long as a DLL, programmed in native C++, is embedded into C#.
