Introduction 1 Introduction By purchasing the IXXAT USB-to-CAN Plugin interface, you decided for a high-quality electronic component developed and manufactured according to the latest technological standards. In the further description these interfaces are referred as CAN interface. The features of the CAN interfaces are described below.
For installation of the VCI V3 driver on Windows computers, please refer to the VCI installation manual. IXXAT also offers the ECI driver for Linux and real-time operating systems for many CAN interfaces. Information on supported operating systems and inter- faces is available on the IXXAT webpage http://www.ixxat.com.
Connectors and displays 3 Connectors and displays Connectors In Figure 3-1 the position of field bus and USB connectors of the CAN Inter- face with the appropriate pin no. 1 is shown. Figure 3-1: Displays (LED) on bottom side 3.1.1 USB connector The shield (pin 5) of the USB cable is connected to ground (GND) using a 100nF capacitor and therefore also connected to ground of the USB plug.
Connectors and displays 3.1.2 Field bus connectors If you are using a not galvanic isolated CAN interface, field bus ground (CAN GND) and USB ground (GND) have the same potential. Using a CAN interface with galvanic isolation, these grounds are separated. Please be care, that in this case the grounds of the field busses (CAN1 / CAN 2 / LIN) have no galvanic isolation among each other.
Connectors and displays Displays The CAN interfaces have LED´s that shows the current communication status of USB and fieldbus activities (see Figure 3-2). Figure 3-2: displays (LEDs) on top side Available LEDs on the different CAN interfaces are show in Table 3-3 CAN Interface 1.01.0288.xxxxx LED Pos.

Dimensions 4 Dimensions Figure 4-1 shows the mechanical dimensions of the CAN interface. All dimen- sions in millimeter ± 0.1 if not otherwise noted. Overview Figure 4-1: display (LEDs) on bottom side Recommended fastening elements Using the foreseen mounting holes, fastening elements shown in Table 4-1 are recommended.
Dimensions Mounting options The CAN interface can be mounted in two ways therefore different heights are to be considered. 4.3.1 Display (LED) on bottom side Mounting the device in this orientation, the display elements (LEDs) are on the baseboard side and cannot be optimally viewed.

CAN Busabschluss There is no bus termination resistor for the CAN bus in the CAN interface inte- grated. IXXAT offers a bus termination resistor as a feed through connector as accessory (order number 1.04.0075.03000) Figure 5-1: CAN bus termination resistor 1.04.0075.03000 LIN interface A LIN interface is only available on model 1.01.0288.22043.
