National Instruments Corporation 4-Port Hardware-Selectable NI-XNET Interface, PCIe 8510
The NI PCIe-8510/4 is a 4-port, hardware-selectable NI-XNET interface for PCI Express, designed and manufactured by National Instruments. This interface card provides four independent, hardware-selectable ports that support CAN, LIN, and FlexRay protocols, enabling high-speed, real-time communication for automotive and industrial applications. The PCIe-8510/4 leverages NI-XNET technology to offload protocol processing from the host CPU, allowing for high-throughput, low-latency data transfer and precise synchronization. It is ideal for applications such as rapid control prototyping, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation, and bus monitoring. The card is compatible with NI-XNET driver software and integrates seamlessly with NI LabVIEW and other NI software tools, providing a flexible and scalable solution for in-vehicle network development and testing.
