3.2 Connection

Attention! Do not use a USB extension cable to connect the interface

to the computer. Extension cables do not comply with the USB

specification.

1. Connect the interface to a USB port of the computer or of a connected USB hub.

Windows detects the new hardware and completes the driver installation.

2. Check the LEDs on the interface. If the LED „USB" is blinking and the other LEDs

light up green, the driver was initialized successfully.

1. Open the Windows Start menu.

2. Type Peak Settings and press |Enter|.

The window PEAK-Settings appears.

3. Select CAN Hardware.

The connected CAN interface is displayed.

4. Select LIN Hardware.

The connected LIN interface is displayed.

The two connectors CAN1/LIN1 and CAN2/LIN2 can each be connected

simultaneously to a CAN and a LIN bus. Depending on the actual application, the D-

Sub sockets on the bus side must be assigned accordingly. The assignment for CAN

corresponds to the specification CiA® 106.

For each CAN connection there is galvanic isolation up to 500 V against USB and

LIN.

Both LIN connections have a common galvanic isolation up to 500 V against USB

and CAN. The LIN connections are not galvanically isolated against each other.

The transceiver of the LIN interface requires a power supply between 8 and

18 V DC. This must be connected via pin 9 at the D-Sub connector. Both LIN

connections need their own supply.
