  • Page 4: Introduction

    INTRODUCTION The following user manual describes architecture, functionality, and configuration parameters of the Ethernet to CAN Converter. It also contains technical specifications and installation instructions of the converter. The user should check whether the application firmware installed in the converter is covered by this user manual.

  • Page 5: Converter Description

    CONVERTER DESCRIPTION The Ethernet to CAN Converter is a simple device converting CAN frames into UDP or TCP IP datagrams and sending them over the Ethernet network. The device can also convert UDP or TCP datagrams into CAN frames. The converter has one CAN and one Ethernet port. It supports a high-speed CAN with baud rate up to 1Mbit/s and a fast 100Mbit/s Ethernet.

  • Page 6: Led Indicators

    2.2 LED Indicators There are three LED indicators on the front panel of the converter. A bi-color “Power” indicator shows whether the unit is powered. It turns red when there is an error on the CAN power output. The two Ethernet LED indicators are hardwired to the PHY chip and show the transmission speed “Ethernet 10/100”...

  • Page 7: Udp Protocol

    In addition to the server role, the device can also act as a client, if the Auto Connect to Remote configuration parameter is set to Yes. In this case, the device will try to establish a connection with a customer specified remote server. The total number of remote connections is limited to 10.

  • Page 8: Tcp Protocol

    If a client-side is activated by the Autoconnect to Remote configuration parameter, the device will automatically start sending CAN data with Heartbeat messages to the remote node on start-up. To ensure that the device does not send data to not functioning (dead) or disconnected nodes, the server side connections will expire in 10 sec of inactivity, when no valid data is received from the remote node.

  • Page 9: Firmware Updates

    2.3.4 Network Discovery The firmware supports a proprietary Axiomatic discovery protocol. It allows to locate a converter with unknown IP address and/or web server port on a LAN using a simple Axiomatic discovery application AxioDisc.exe. UMAX140900RST. Ethernet to CAN Converter. Version 1...

  • Page 10: Converter Configuration

    CONVERTER CONFIGURATION The converter supports configuration over the internal website running on the device embedded web server. The default Device IP Address is 192.168.0.34 and the default Web Server Port is 80. Please, make sure that there are no other devices on this IP address when connecting the converter for the first time to your LAN for configuration.

  • Page 11: Changing Configuration Parameters

    You will need to allow the site to run JavaScript (this setting is default in most web browsers). If JavaScript is disabled, the website will show a message asking to activate JavaScript at the top of the web page, see Figure 6. Figure 6.
  • Page 12 The Discharge Settings button will bring back the original converter settings before editing, and the Set Defaults button will load the default values of the configuration parameters into the data fields on the page. Figure 8. Converter Main Settings Page The configuration parameters have tooltips for the user convenience.
  • Page 13 Figure 9. Settings Alert. Error in Configuration Parameters The website messages should be enabled (not suppressed) in the browser to see this and other feedback messages. After pressing the Save Settings button and saving the configuration parameters, the converter replies with a confirmation message showing a result of the saving operation. For example, if the user has successfully changed the Device Port value, the following message will appear: Figure 10.

  • Page 14: Ethernet Configuration

    3.2 Ethernet Configuration All Ethernet configuration parameters can be changed through the Main Settings web page, except the MAC Address, which is programmed at the factory. The user-changeable configuration parameters are presented in Table 2. The user should avoid using special IP addresses (broadcast, multicast, loopback, etc.) when configuring the Device IP Address since this can lead to a permanent loss of communication with the embedded web server.

  • Page 18: Converter Diagnostics

    CONVERTER DIAGNOSTICS The user can see a real-time diagnostic information on the Diagnostics page on the converter internal website. The connection to the converter embedded web server is described in the Converter Configuration section. To see the Diagnostics page, Figure 14, the user should click on the Diagnostics link on the left side of the web page.

  • Page 19: Converter Rebooting

    Table 4. Health Status Health Status Condition Error Error is reported when at least one operational status is in the Error state. Warning Warning is reported when at least one operational status is in the Warning state and there are no operational statuses in the Error state. Undefined Undefined is reported when at least one operational status is in the Undefined state and there are no operational statuses in the Error or Warning state.

    Then the user selects the new firmware file using the Browse… button. The firmware file is provided by Axiomatic in a proprietary binary format with extension: .af. The file name should have the following format: AF-21153-X.XX.af, where the <X.XX> field wildcard reflects the firmware version number.
  • Page 21 Figure 18. Firmware Update Page From this point, the user can cancel the firmware update process and keep the old firmware or proceed with flashing the new firmware into the microcontroller by pressing the Apply New Firmware button. When the user presses the Apply New Firmware button, the firmware update process is activated and the Firmware Upload page will show the countdown timer.

    Ethernet to CAN Converter Ethernet cable Internet Cloud Ethernet to CAN Converter Ethernet cable Figure 21. Global Internet Connection through the WAN In the simplest scenario, two pre-configured converters can be connected by an Ethernet cable, see: Figure 22. Due to the Auto-MDIX feature, both: the straight and crossover cables can be used.
  • Page 24 Set Auto Connect to Remote to No to disable the client side of the converter. The Remote IP Address and Remote Port can be left untouched since they are not used by the converter when the client mode is disabled. They are grayed on the Settings page in this mode. For the CAN network, configure the necessary Baud Rate and set Loopback Messages to No.

  • Page 26: Client Configuration

    Figure 23. The Converter Server Configuration Example 6.1.2.2 Client Configuration In the client configuration, the user should set Device IP Address, Device Port, Device Subnet Mask and Device Default Gateway to the appropriate values received from the network administrator the same way as with the server configuration. After that, the user should set the Device Port Type, Remote IP Address and Remote Port to match the settings of the converter in the server mode and activate the client mode by setting the Auto Connect to Remote to Yes.
  • Page 27 Figure 24. The Converter Client Configuration Example The values of the Device Port Type, Remote IP Address and Remote Port of the client on Figure 24 are the same as the Device Port Type, Device IP Address and Device Port of the server in Figure 23.

    In case the IP address and/or web server port is unknown or has been lost, the user can recover them using the Axiomatic AxioDisc.exe Windows console application. The application uses a proprietary discovery protocol and can recover IP locations of Axiomatic converters on a LAN. The AxioDisc.exe application is available upon request.

  • Page 30: Restful Api Processing

    RESTful API Processing A RESTful API is an architectural style for an application program interface (API) that uses HTTP requests to access and use data. The Converter’s HTTP server uses the HTTP protocol at a predefined set of URLs and treats them as APIs. These URLs represent resources available at HTTP server’s web page and have one or more methods that can be performed on them like GET, POST, PUT.
