Evaluation Kit EASYKIT AUX DRIVES (FS50R07W1E3_B11A)
5 Evaluation Kit CAN Terminal
5.1 Introduction and Feature Description
The Evaluation Kit has a CAN communication functionality, which can be used with all standard HighSpeed
CAN toolsets (1MBit/s). This CAN communication is isolated from the high voltage potentials. The CAN
Terminal option via the Infineon UConnect XC2xxxX hardware provides a low cost gateway from the
EASYKIT CAN port to a standard USB port (virtual COM).
With the CAN Terminal it is possible to control the EASYKIT in the CAN controlled mode with e.g. the
following functionality:
 Adjust nominal motor parameters
 Adjust motor speed
 Monitor analog values and fault events from the EASYKIT
 Monitor communication states
 Perform single pulse tests
The main advantage for the customer is the low cost of this CAN Terminal solution compared to standard
CAN cards available on the market. No specific SW installations are required on the target PC only a
standard terminal program is required, which are available free of charge on the internet (e.g. Tera Term,
PUTTY,….). Please note that the update rate is limited compared to standard CAN communication
interfaces.
