Hello Hyung-Tae,
The NI PCI-6251 is a DAQ board that provides analog and digital I/O functions but does not natively support CAN ports. A separate CAN interface is required for CAN communication. Below is information on common configuration methods and related hardware for CAN communication.
Configuring CAN Communication:
- Using a Separate CAN Interface Card: It is common to use a separate CAN interface card for CAN communication. These cards are installed in your PC and allow communication with a CAN network.
- USB CAN Interface: USB CAN interfaces are also widely used due to their easy connection and portability.
Hardware Options for CAN Communication:
- Softing CAN-AC2: This is one of the CAN interface cards supported by Simulink's xPC Target and Real-Time Windows Target.
- Vector CAN Devices: Vector provides a range of CAN interface products that are well-supported in the Simulink environment.
- NI PCI-8511: This board supports CAN communication through NI's XNET driver. However, support in Simulink depends on the version you are using and any additional packages you may have. Check if you can use the NI-XNET blockset to communicate with NI CAN hardware in Simulink.
I hope this helps!
