7 V - 16 V. A pre-fabricated cable for power supply is included in the scope of delivery. The connection allocation is shown in Table 2-1. The CANbridge is protected against polarity reversal, under-voltage and over- voltage. In the event of polarity reversal or under-voltage, it is switched off, with over-voltage an internal fuse is triggered.
Aluminum Version 2.1.2 Serial interface RS232 (X2) The serial interface is used for configuration of the CANbridge. The signals of the serial interface are connected to the 9-pin Sub-D connector X2 (see Table 2-2). Pin no. Signal Table 2-2: Pin allocation RS232 2.1.3 CAN 1 (X3)
The shield connections of CAN1 (X3), CAN2 (X4), serial interface (X2) and power supply (X1) are connected with each other both in the version with and in the version without galvanic isolation. Copyright IXXAT Automation GmbH CANbridge - Manual, V1.4...
Voltage supply (X1) The device is supplied with DC voltage of 9V – 36V. The pin allocation is shown in Table 3-1. The CANbridge is protected against polarity reversal, under-voltage and over-voltage. In the event of polarity reversal or under-voltage, it is switched off, with over- voltage an internal fuse is triggered.

Displays Displays The CANbridge has four 2-color LEDs (see Fig. 2-1 or Fig. 3-1). The LEDs behave in the following way depending on the operating mode of the CANbridge. Normal mode (Gateway mode) 4.1.1 PWR - LED The Power-LED (PWR) is lit when the CANbridge is connected to the supply volt- age and the microcontroller is installed.
CANbridge offers automatic baud rate detection. For configuration of the CANbridge, an ASCII-file is created and the configuration data are loaded onto the CANbridge via the serial interface with the aid of a download tool. The setting possibilities are described in Table 5-1.
CANBusOffRecovery (under [General]) 2. Do not allow restart after Bus Off Table 5-1: Possible settings of the CANbridge Data Structure of the Configuration Files A template of the ASCII configuration file can be generated with the download tool (see Section 6). The required configuration can be easily created with the template and a text editor.

Functional description Sample configurations 5.3.1 Standard configuration With the standard configuration of the CANbridge, automatic baud rate detec- tion and repeater functionality (RepeaterFunctionality=yes) are activated. Both frame formats (std and ext) are processed simultaneously. [General] TemplateVersion = 01.01.00 ;!Don’t change this!
800 kbit/s and the gateway Table is used. CAN2 works with extended frame format, the baudrate is defined by the Bit Timing Registers BTR0 and BTR1, the gateway table is also used. If a CAN bus goes into Bus Off state, the CANbridge is restarted after 10 seconds.
