Chapter 1. Description The AnaGate CAN USB connects a PC to a CAN bus via USB. It basically works as a CAN master with no own CAN identifier on the bus. For this reason the AnaGate CAN USB provides a USB interface and a single electrically isolated CAN interface.
(from left to right): USB Port The AnaGate CAN USB is connected to the PC via this USB port. A cable with a type A USB plug at its one end and a type B USB plug at the other end needs to be used.

Description 1.4.2. AnaGate CAN USB - right view Figure 1.2. Right view, AnaGate CAN USB The right side of the AnaGate CAN USB features the following connectors and LEDs (from left to right): CAN port 9 pin D-sub connector to connect the CAN bus (CiA recommondation DS 102).
Chapter 2. Configuration 2.1. Initial installation First the AnaGate CAN USB must be connected to the PC via USB. If the PC shows a notification that no device driver could be installed then please proceed as follows: 2.1.1. Microsoft Windows XP 1.

If the computer has additional serial ports the entry you need to modify may have a different COM port number. You can check which number belongs to which device by removing and reconnecting the AnaGate CAN USB. The device manager automatically updates the shown list of connected devices.
15 minutes before it switches to the new value. If the change must be used immediately then temporarily disconnect the AnaGate CAN USB from the PC to enforce an update of the used address. 2.3. CAN settings On the page CAN Settings the global settings for the CAN interface are displayed and can be changed individually.
The inputs are applied immediately after clicking the button Save settings and saved permanently to the AnaGate CAN USB. A restart of the device is not necessary. 2.5. Device status The page Status summarizes the device status information.
To reset the system counters the device must be switched off. 2.6. Functional extensions based on Lua The AnaGate CAN USB supports the execution of custom applications with an installed Lua script interpreter (see [Prog-2025] for a detailed description of all programming features).
15 minutes before it switches to the new value. If the change must be used immediately then temporarily disconnect the AnaGate CAN USB from the PC to enforce an update of the used address. 2.7.1. Checking the IP address It is possible to check the current network settings directly on the device.
Figure 2.7. AnaGate CAN USB, Example blinking output 2.8. Firmware update The device firmware of the AnaGate CAN USB is updated via the integrated web server of the device. On the home page of the web server the current firmware information is displayed.

Configuration Proceed please as follows, in order to install the firmware on the AnaGate CAN USB: • Click Firmware on the left navigation bar to navigate to the Firmware-Upload page. Figure 2.9. Web interface, firmware update • Select the update package (file extension *.upd) via the Browse button.
In gateway mode the CAN messages are transferred transparently over TCP/IP between the CAN network and the PC in both directions. The AnaGate CAN USB uses no unique CAN ID when sending telegrams, this ID has to be set explicitly for each transmitted message.
IP address. 2. In case the AnaGate is unreachable via ping, reset the device to factory settings. Set up the PC network connection to the AnaGate CAN USB to obtain an IP address automatically. Check if the AnaGate can be reached via ping 192.168.2.1.

FET is activated. The total resistance is 120 Ohm, as required by the CAN bus. Does Analytica offer a CAN gateway, which does not have an electrically isolated CAN interface? Any device that is actively connected to a CAN bus should be electrically isolated.
Appendix B. Technical support The AnaGate hardware series, programming interfaces and related software tools are developed and supported by Analytica GmbH. Technical support can be requested as follows: Internet The AnaGate web site www.anagate.de of Analytica GmbH contains the documentation and software downloads for AnaGate Library users.
