Installing your NetPorty II. Step by step installation procedures for hardware and software.
Installation Overview 2.1 Overview This chapter gives detailed information about installing the NetPorty II hardware and about the necessary software drivers which make NetPorty II access possible. The NetPorty II is delivered with access driver and applications for Windows 95 and Windows NT. To get your NetPorty II operational follow the installation guide lines. 2.2 Installing the Hardware To install the hardware you should connect the NetPorty II to the serial or to the parallel port of your PC.
Installation Installing the Hardware It is also necessary to connect the NetPorty II with a power supply. Therefore an external power unit can be used to supply the NetPorty II via the power connector or via the 9 Pin D-Sub CAN-connector. Centronics CAN Power supply Serial RS232 If all connections are done NetPorty II is operational and the next step is the software installation. Version 1.
Installation Installing the Software 2.3 Installing the Software 2.3.1 If you start at serial port Driver installation: 1 Insert the CD. The setup programm will start automatic, if not please start the program “START.EXE” in root path. 2 Go to "Software Installation" 3 Choose your operating system, is important. 4 Choose your hardware component at the selection box then press "Start Installation". If the file is started (*.com file), follow the steps on the screen. If necessay type in the password.
Installation Installing the Software Problems: It is possible you chose an incorrect COM port. Start PcCANControl again and choose an other COM port. 2.3.2 If you start at parallel port 1 Make sure that your PC parallel port uses the EPPmode. You have to control it under BIOS setup. In this version the NetPorty II supported the EPP versions 1.7 and 1.9. If necessary configure your PC and re-start it. 2 Follow steps 1-5 under chapter 2.3.1. 3 Configure the right driver. Change to directory “..
Installation Installing the Software This software is a Win32-Console-Application and runs under Win95 and WinNT. Usage: - Connect your NetPorty II with one serial port. - If you do not use COM1 please change it into the file L.BAT. - Start L.BAT. - If you get error messages like "BSL: no response from the target hardware" it is possible that you have used the wrong COM port. - If you get the message below "-- COMx Loading bootload.h86..

Hardware Micro controller 3.1 Micro controller The I+ME NetPorty II includes the 16-bit Siemens 80C165 micro controller on a piggy back. The controller’s clock frequency is 36,84MHz. The following recourses are used: Port 2.14 [EX6IN] Port 2.15 [EX7IN] CS0-CS1 CS2-CS3 CS4 Version 1.
Hardware Memory 3.2 Memory The I+ME NetPorty II is equipped with Flash (CS0) 128 KByte (x 8 bit) SRAM (CS1) 512 KByte (x 16 bit) Optional it can be equipped with Flash 512 KByte (x 8 bit) and RAM 128 Kbyte (x 16 bit) 3.2.1 NetPorty II internal buffers: To avoid lost data (CAN is faster than the communication channels to the PC) the transfer-objects are buffered in the NetPorty II. The biggest buffer is between CAN reception and the communication channel to the PC (448kByte).
Hardware Protocol Interface 3.3 Protocol Interface The product has two CAN protocol chips at a frequency of 16 MHz. The SJA1000 chip is connected to the 9 pin D-SUB connector with the CiA pinning. The optional 82527 is also connected to the 9 pin D-Sub connector without physical line driver. The C165 uses the CS2 signal to select the SJA1000. The NetPorty II can be equipped with a second CAN channel. Therefore a 82527 will be mounted on the PCB. The C165 uses the CS3 signal to select the 82527.
Hardware Physical Interface 3.4 Physical Interface NetPorty II has the transceiver chip 82C251 (according to ISO 11898) as physical interface. It is not galvanic disconnect. The standard physical interface is linked to the SJA1000, the Output Control Register must be set to 0xFA. To connect the second CAN channel or the ISO 9141 channel an optional physical line driver have to be ordered. 3.
Hardware Connector 3.6 Connector 3.6.1 3.6.1.1 9pol sub-min-D male 1 CAN Channel The CAN connector is based on the CiA standard if only one CAN channel is used. It is a 9pol sub-min-D male connector. Figure 3-1 Standard CAN Connector Pins 1, 4 and 8 are not used by NetPorty II Version 1.
