Each product variant is ready-to-use due to the pre-configured basic configuration which is already loaded on the device. CANnector Log is used to log CAN, CAN FD, and LIN communication. CANnector Bridge is used to connect computer systems to CAN and CAN FD networks, to connect the networks with each other, and to change or manipulate the network data.
4.1.3 Software for Configuration The CANnector is a Linux platform that is able to work standalone without any connected PC. For the standalone function a configuration is needed, that can be created and downloaded to the device via a the PC based Advanced Configuration Tool (ACT). For more information see Creating Configurations for CANnector S, L, SE, LE, LA, p.
Pre-Configured Product Variants CANnector Log With the CANnector Log the communication of the connected busses can be logged. The four provided basic CAN logging configurations (125 Kbit/s, 250 Kbit/s, 500 Kbit/s, and 1000 Kbit/s), that initializes all 6 CAN interfaces with the selected baud rate log all received data in csv format.
Master configuration with 250 Kbit/s is loaded. An application on a Windows PC that is based on the Ixxat VCI driver can be extended with one CANnector Range, that is connected to the Windows PC. In that case the CANnector Range acts as remote PC interface connected via Ethernet.
► Stick the adhesive feet to the bottom of the device. ► Place the CANnector on an even surface. ► Make sure, that the venting slots are not covered and ensure adequate air circulation (recommended mounting distance: 2 cm distance to venting slots).
Creating Configurations for CANnector S, L, SE, LE, LA The CANnector is a Linux platform that is able to work standalone without any connected PC. For the standalone function a configuration is needed, that can be created and downloaded to the device via a the PC based Advanced Configuration Tool (ACT).
12 (30) Selecting Pre-Configured Configurations for CANnector Log, Bridge, Range To connect the CANnector to a PC via USB a driver is needed. With installation of the configuration tool ACT the driver is automatically installed (see Installing the Software, p.
► activated on the Slave device (see Selecting a Pre-Configured Configuration, p. 13). If using the CANnector Log, the logging only starts if the USB memory storage device is plugged in correctly. 6.2.3 Selecting a Pre-Configured Configuration When the device is correctly connected the default configuration of the respective product variant is running (see Connecting the Device, p.

Selected pre-configured basic application is running. After a power cycle the last selected configuration is automatically started. ► For more information about configuration possibilities of the product variants Log, Bridge and Range see respective User Manual on www.ixxat.com. 4.01.0091.20000 1.3 en-US CANnector Installation Guide...
CAN 1 or if any CAN FD message is received on CAN 7. With the device variant CANnector LA it is possible to configure one specific CAN message ID or CAN FD message ID that switches on the device. For more information how to configure the Switch-on on CAN and the specific message see user manual IxAdmin.
X6 provides the EtherCAT-Slave-OUT function and X7 provides the EtherCAT-Slave-IN function. If the CANnector is connected to a EtherCAT Master solely, only X7 (IN) is used and X6 remains unconnected. The EtherCAT interfaces are galvanically isolated from the other interfaces.
USB connection. When the CANnector is connected to test object, provide a grounded connection between the test object and the CANnector, before connecting a USB device to the CANnector (for example a USB based analog input extension).

7.7.1 Galvanic Isolation The CANnector has four interface islands on the D-Sub connectors X1, X2, X3 and X4. Each of the four islands is galvanically isolated from the other islands. Within an island the interfaces for CAN-FD, CAN high-speed, digital I/O, and LIN are galvanically connected to one another. The shielding of the cable and/or the metal collar of a D-Sub connector is directly connected to the housing.
If LIN is used, apply voltage of 12-24 V to the V-LIN connection. ► 7.7.5 Digital I/O The CANnector provides two digital I/O channels: • Each digital I/O channel has an output with a high-side switch (FET) and a comparator input with a Schmitt trigger function.
