Here are the UART to CAN converters based on the different functionalities. I-7530: The RS-232 to CAN Bus converter with 9-pin D-sub connector. I-7530-FT: The Intelligent RS-232 to low speed fault tolerant CAN Bus converter. I-7530A: The Intelligent RS-232/485/422 to CAN Bus converter.
The I-7530/I-7530T and tM-7530 provide CAN and RS-232 communication interfaces. The isolator is on the CAN side. The connector of the CAN port to the I-7530/I-7530T and tM-7530 are the D-Sub 9-pin male connector and the spring type connector respectively.
Page 15
The I-7565 provides CAN and USB slave communication interfaces. On the USB interface, the I-7565 provides the virtual COM driver. Users can use the I-7565 instead of the I-7530 if the device only have USB host interface. The I-7565 is powered by the USB interface, it doesn’t need external power.
2.4 Wire Connection The I-7530/I-7530T, I-7530-FT, and tM-7530 are RS-232 DCE devices, and uses the D-sub 9 pins female connector for the RS-232 interface. The following figure describes the wire connection between the PC and the modules. Figure: Connects the I-7530/I-7530T, I-7530-FT, or tM-7530 to the PC The I-7530A has one UART port with three kinds of interfaces.

The pin assignments of the CAN port (DB9 male) on the I-7530 series including I-7530, I-7530T, I-7530-FT, I-7530A, and I-7565 follows both the CANopen DS102 profile and the appendix C of the DeviceNet specifications. The wire connections are as follows.
If there are not only two terminator resistors or only have one terminator resistor on the CAN bus, the CAN network may be malfunction. About the terminator resistor of the I-7530-FT (follows the ISO 11898-3 specification), each I-7530-FT has its own terminator resistor. Users don’t need to take care about that.

The terminator resistor is built in the tM-7530A. If users would like to enable terminator resistor of the tM-7530A, please let the CAN_H pin and the TR pins be shorted to each other, as following figure. I-7530, I-7530-FT, I-7530A, I-7565, tM-7530, tM-7530A User Manual Version 1.4 Page:...

In order to use the module easily, we provide 11 command strings to allow users to send and received commands and responses through the CAN Converter, like I-7530. It can cover most applications of different requests. The general formats of the commands for the CAN Converter modules are in ASCII data format and given below: Command Format: <Command>[CHK]<CR>...

The AWG means a standard method used to measure wire. The numbering system works backwards from what people would think, the thicker (heavier) the wire, the lower the number. For example: a 24AWG wire is thicker/heavier than a 26AWG wire. I-7530, I-7530-FT, I-7530A, I-7565, tM-7530, tM-7530A User Manual Version 1.4 Page:...

Appendix C: CAN Baud Rate Calculating This section will describe how to calculate CAN baud rate for I-7530 series module, not including tM-7530 and tM-7530A, and using old version utility, CAN converter utility, to fill these parameters. The users can use user-defined CAN Baud rate by setting CAN Converter utility. There are four parameters for this function, please refer the below setting window.
Page 63
CAN Converter utility could not save the parameter. 2. The function only supports on firmware version 3.00 or more in I-7530 series and I-7565. If the users do not know how to fill these parameter values, please feel free to contact us.
Appendix D: Filter setting The I-7530 series modules use acceptance code and acceptance mask for filter setting. The acceptance code and acceptance mask are used for filtering unnecessary CAN messages through RS-232/RS-485/RS422/USB port. If users want to prevent the unnecessary CAN message through Re-conversions, they need to set the parameters of acceptance code and mask.
I-7530s are in pair connection mode, all RS-232 commands transmitted from one of these two I-7530s will be put in the data field of CAN message. This CAN message will be transferred to RS-232 commands by another I-7530. The following section will show each condition for different pair connection configuration.

I-7530#1’s COM port, the Device2 will also receive “1234567” from the COM port of I-7530#2. The CAN ID in above figure is determined by the CAN specification selected by users. If users select CAN 2.0A, the CAN ID is 11-bit ID. If CAN 2.0B is used, the CAN ID is 29-bit ID. Here, assume users set the Fixed Tx CAN ID field of CAN Converter Device#1 to be 0x001 ( “0x”...

Configurations: To apply this application, user need to configure the CAN Converter module #1 and #2, like I-7530 as above figure. The RS-232 configurations of module #1 and module #2 are decided by the Device1 and Device2 RS-232 parameters. module #1 Configuration...
Page 68
In order to apply this application, user need to configure the three CAN Converter modules #1, #2 and #3, like I-7530 as above figure. The RS-232 configurations of these three CAN Converter modules are decided by the RS-232 device they connect with.
