CAN Interface Installation

To use your new Allegro Hand with Allegro Application Studio (AAS), a controller area network (CAN) interface must be used. Out of the box, the Allegro Hand and AAS communicate via any of four CAN interface products:

  • National Instruments (NI) USB-8473s High-Speed CAN
  • Softing CAN-AC2-PCI
  • Kvaser PCIcan 4xHS
  • ESD CAN-PCI/266

All four of these CAN interface solutions can be purchased from SimLab along with the Allegro Hand.
Product and driver information for each of these four interfaces can be found below. Note: Other CAN interfaces may also be used but communication must be configured by the user.

NI USB-8473s High-Speed CAN

From NI's product description:

  • Hi-Speed USB-compliant, bus-powered
  • CAN 2.0A (11-bit) and extended CAN 2.0B (29-bit) arbitration ID
  • Philips SJA1000 CAN controller and ISO 11898 physical layer
  • Philips TJA1041 high-speed CAN transceiver
  • Hardware timestamping: 1 µs reading resolution
  • Log 100% bus loads at 1 Mbits/s with no dropped frames
