Safety Instructions 2 5 (30) Safety Instructions Risk of interference to radio and television if used in office or home environment! Use exclusively included accessories. Use exclusively shielded cables. Make sure that the shield of the interface is connected with the device plug and the plug on the other side. Malfunction caused by extension cable! According to the USB specification connect the interface directly or via an active USB hub to the computer. Do not use an extension cable. 2.1 2.
Product Description 4 6 (30) Product Description The CAN@net NT hardware provides connectivity to Ethernet and CAN networks with various operational modes. The CAN@net NT 420 additionally is capable of CAN FD. The application firmware provides functions to access a CAN bus from virtually every Ethernet TCP/IP host. The CAN@net NT provides message filtering, based on CAN identifiers, for Bridge and Gateway mode in the direction from CAN system to TCP/IP network.
Product Description 7 (30) For information about the communication in Gateway mode and commands that are used to exchange CAN messages see Software Design Guide CAN@net NT 200/420 Generic Protocol for Gateway Mode on www.ixxat.com. 4.2.2 Bridge Modes With the CAN@net NT the Bridge mode allows to connect CAN systems over an Ethernet TCP/IP network, for example the local intranet or the internet (firewall needed). Minimum two devices are required for a CAN-Ethernet-CAN bridge.
Installation 8 (30) 5 Installation 5.1 Installing the Software 5.1.1 Installing the Driver For the operation of the CAN-Gateway Configurator and the CAN@net VCI mode a driver is needed. The VCI driver is constantly improved and expanded! Check if a newer version is available within the support area on www.ixxat.com. ► 5.1.2 Install the VCI driver (see Installation Guide VCI Driver).
Installation 9 (30) The shield of the CAN connector is connected to the device ground and the PE on the back of the device (DIN rail) via a 1 MΩ resistor and a 10 nF capacitor. To achieve highest interference immunity, ground the shield of the CAN cable. 5.2.1 Power Connector Fig. 5 Power connector Pin Allocation of Power Connector 5.2.2 Pin no. Signal 1 V+ (+9 V to +36 V DC) 2 3 V— 4 — CAN and CAN FD Connectors Fig.
Installation 10 (30) 5.3 Checking and Updating the Firmware 5.3.1 Checking the Device Firmware ► Make sure, that the latest VCI driver is installed. ► Make sure, that the device is correctly connected to the host computer and to power supply. ► Make sure that the latest CAN-Gateway Configurator is installed (check within support area on www.ixxat.com). ► Start the Ixxat CAN-Gateway Configurator. ► Open menu Scan and select All Ixxat devices. → 5.3.
Installation 11 (30) ► Select the update file. → Firmware of the connected device is updated. ► In the status window check if the update is completed successfully. ► Write the saved configuration to the device. CAN@net NT User Manual 4.01.0332.20000 1.
Configuration 6 12 (30) Configuration The security settings set via the CAN-Gateway Configurator define if changing the configuration via Ethernet is possible and if a password is needed to change to configuration. The default password is IXXAT. For more information see user manual CAN-Gateway Configurator. 6.1 Connecting Possibilities There are different possibilities to connect the CAN@net NT.
Configuration 6.2 13 (30) Basic Configuration CAN@net NT 200 and CAN@net NT 420 can not be combined. For CAN-Ethernet-CAN Bridges use either NT 200 devices or NT 420 devices. 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 1 Fig.
Configuration 6.2.2 14 (30) ► If the connected device is not found, see Scanning for Devices with Unknown IP Addresses, p. 14 for more information. ► Select the type of CAN@net NT in use in drop-down list Select device type (2). ► Select the firmware version of the device in drop-down list Select device version (3). ► Select the desired operational mode for the device in use in drop-down list Select operational mode (4).
Configuration 6.2.3 15 (30) ► Select the desired device in the drop-down list Target device. ► If necessary define a new IP address. ► Make sure that the IP address is in the range of the network in which the device is integrated. ► Define the network settings. ► Enter password (default: IXXAT) in field Device password. ► To write the new IP configuration to the target device click button Save.
Configuration 6.2.4 16 (30) Changing the IP Address HMS Industrial Networks recommends to use a static IP address. ► Make sure that the device is connected in the CAN-Gateway Configurator (see Connecting the Device in CAN-Gateway Configurator, p. 15). ► Open menu Target and select Change IP configuration. → Window IP Configuration is opened. ► Make sure that the serial number in drop-down list Target device points to the connected device. ► Define the network settings.
Configuration 6.3 17 (30) ASCII Gateway Configuration 2 3 1 4 5 Fig. 11 ASCII Gateway Mode ► Make sure, that the device is connected (see Connecting Possibilities, p. 12) and that the basic configurations are set (see Basic Configuration, p. 13). ► Make sure, that ASCII Gateway Mode is selected in drop-down list (2). ► In configuration tree (1) select CAN@net — General. ► Select the desired protocol line ending (4). ► Define the IP port (5) to be used.
Configuration 6.4 18 (30) Bridge Configuration In the Bridge configuration each device can be configured differently, but all devices must be configured in one configuration file. The configuration can be set for one device and then downloaded to the other devices (Master, Slave 1 to 3). In the Local CAN Bridge mode only one device is connected and has to be configured.
Configuration 19 (30) ► For the CAN-Ethernet-CAN Bridge connect the devices one after another and download the configuration to each device. ► Observe that for the configuration of a CAN-Ethernet-CAN Bridge each device must be configured with the same configuration file. If the configuration is changed, the new configuration file has to be downloaded again to all devices. It is possible to add information about the configuration in fields Author, Configuration Name and Additional Info. 6.
Configuration 6.6 20 (30) Reset to Factory Settings It is possible to reset a connected device to factory settings.
