2.1 Welcome to Kvaser Air Bridge Light HS Figure 1: Kvaser Air Bridge Light HS Kvaser Air Bridge Light HS is a small, yet advanced, wireless CAN bridge that can be used as a CAN system gateway between two CAN networks. The Kvaser Air Bridge Light HS consists of a preconfigured pair of plug and play units.
Kvaser Air Bridge Light HS User’s Guide 6 (24) 2.2 Major Features Supports both CAN 2.0A and CAN 2.0B active, 11-bit and 29-bit identifiers. High-Speed CAN connection (compliant with ISO 11898-2), up to 1 Mbit/s. Compatible with J1939, CANopen, NMEA 2000 and DeviceNet.
CAN messages back and forth until the units are powered down. The Kvaser Air Bridge Light HS will only forward CAN messages between the two attached CAN networks. Error frames and arbitration information will not be forwarded since this information is only applicable for the local physical network.
Kvaser Air Bridge Light HS, you must supply 9-36 VDC power through the CAN connector. 3.4 LED Indicators The functions of the LED indicators on the Kvaser Air Bridge Light HS are shown in Table 2. Figure 4: LEDs on the Kvaser Air Bridge Light HS.
250 Kbit/s 125 Kbit/s. The Autobaud Detection is done locally, so a Kvaser Air Bridge Light HS can be used to bridge two different CAN networks operating at different bit rates. However, the amount of traffic on the networks will determine whether the system designer should allow the networks to be bridged via the Kvaser Air Bridge Light HS.
