1 Function introduction 1.1 Overview The GCAN-213 is a CAN bus wireless bridge that can be used to wirelessly transmit information between two CAN systems. Using the GCAN-213 CAN bus wireless bridge, users can easily complete the interconnection of two CAN- bus networks and further expand the scope of the CAN-bus network.
●Keep the distance between GCAN-213 as short as possible and ensure that they are within line of sight of each other. Try to avoid obstacles near the line of sight path; if there are obstacles such as walls, the radio signal will be weakened and limit its maximum practical distance.

● GCAN-213 should be installed parallel to each other; for GCAN-213 used in pairs, the antennas must not be placed on the same straight line; Wrong antenna placement: Correct antenna placement:...

● GCAN-213 should adjust its position and height to reduce reflections from walls or floors. The impact of reflections depends on the extension of the wall and the distance from the wall; ●The average distance from the device to the wall should be at least one-tenth of the line-of- sight distance.

GCAN-213 device away from suspected sources of interference ●Please note: Microwave ovens and electric motors may also emit signals that interfere with radio equipment; ●If multiple pairs of devices need to be used on the same occasion, the SN tail numbers of the paired devices should be the same or similar as possible, but avoid using multiple pairs of devices with the same tail number at the same time.

GCAN-213 Application—Peer-to-Peer Use GCAN-213 Application—Mobile Vehicle CAN-bus Debugging 1.6 Actual testing The CAN-213 module is unobstructed, and the measured data transmission and reception is normal within a range of 220 meters; the measured data transmission and reception through 2 walls are normal. The actual measured data is as follows:...
(height) 24mm, its schematic diagram is shown in Figure 2.1. Figure 2.1 Dimensions of GCAN-213 2.2 Interface definition and function The GCAN-213 module integrates one antenna interface and one standard USB interface. The interface location and definition are shown in Figure 2.3 and Table 2.1.
Table 2.1 Definition of power interface The GCAN-213 module integrates a DC9-30V power interface, a CAN-bus interface, and an antenna interface. The power interface is led out by a 3 PIN plug-in terminal (orange), and the CAN-bus interface is led out by a 3 PIN plug-in terminal (green).
GCAN-213 needs to be used in point-to-point pairs. Before use, the user generally needs to configure the CAN bus and wireless module communication parameters or entrust our company with factory configuration. GCAN-213 CAN bus wireless bridges used in pairs can realize the forwarding and relaying of two CAN bus data through wireless transmission.

The last eight digits of the device SN number. The last eight digits of the SN number of the GCAN-213 configured in pairs as shown in the figure is 22091702. At the same time, the filter enable can be set to realize the filtering function.
3.2 System status indicator light The GCAN-213 series module has 1 SYS indicator light to indicate the system power supply, 1 CAN indicator light to indicate CAN data transmission, 1 RX and 1 TX indicator light to indicate wireless network data transmission. The specific indicating functions of these four indicator lights are shown in Table 3.1.
