Chapter 3. Fields of application

If the AnaGate CAN Gateway is connected to the CAN bus, mind the following facts:

• CAN_L: This line has to be connected to the CAN_Low line of the CAN bus.

• CAN_H: This line has to be connected to the CAN_High line of the CAN bus.

• GND: This line can be connected optionally to GND of the other bus devices.

3.1. Gateway mode

In gateway mode the CAN messages are transferred transparently over TCP/IP

between the CAN network and the host platform (e.g. PC) in both directions. The

AnaGate CAN Gateway uses no unique CAN ID when sending telegrams, this ID has

to be set explicitly for each transmitted message.

All CAN messages received by the device are transmitted to all active LAN-connected

host systems. It is possible to discard all incoming messages in general or to set

individual software filters to reduce the message traffic to the host systems.

The AnaGate CAN Gateway can be accessed via the following interfaces:

• The software program CAN Monitor, which is included on the documentation CD,

can be used to monitor a CAN bus or to create single CAN telegrams.

• Application programs which are using the included software API inteface.
