Product Description 4 7 (34) Product Description To use all features the latest version of the CAN-Gateway Configurator as well as the latest firmware of the CAN@net NT must be installed. For documentation of firmware versions below V6 contact Ixxat support. 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.
Product Description 8 (34) 4.3 Operational Modes 4.3.1 ASCII Gateway Mode In the Gateway mode, the CAN@net NT is directly hooked to the local intranet or internet (firewall needed). This allows a TCP/UDP host within the reach of this intranet or internet to connect to the CAN@net NT and gain control of the CAN system. The Ethernet network can exchange commands and CAN messages using the ASCII protocol. The CAN@net NT relays the commands and messages to the CAN bus and vice versa.

Product Description 4.4 Add-Ons for Customer Specific Expansions 4.4.1 Lua ADK 10 (34) With the Lua Application Development Kit customer specific Lua scripts can be executed on the CAN@net NTin operational modes Local Bridge or CAN-Eth-CAN bridge. By using the Lua ADK for handling and processing of communication data the functionality of the standard application can be expanded. For more information about the Lua ADK see User Manual CAN@net NT/CANbridge NT Lua ADK on the product support pages on www.
Installation 11 (34) 5 Installation 5.1 Installing the Software To create a configuration for the CAN@net NT, the CAN-Gateway Configurator running on a Windows system and the Ixxat VCI driver are needed. The VCI driver is constantly improved and expanded! Check if a newer version is available on www.ixxat.com/driver-windows. The CAN-Gateway Configurator and the device firmware are constantly improved and expanded! Check if newer versions are available within the product support pages on www.ixxat.
Installation 12 (34) 1 CAN 1 (CAN@net NT 200/420) 2 CAN 2 (CAN@net NT 200/420) 3 4 Power connector CAN 3 (CAN@net NT 420) 5 CAN 4 (CAN@net NT 420) ► Make sure that the cross-sectional area of the cable is larger than or equal to 0.14 mm2 resp. 25 AWG. ► To remove the connector, use screwdriver or similar tool. ► Connect the CAN cables. ► Connect the power supply. ► Plug the connector into the housing.
Installation 13 (34) 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 product support pages on www.ixxat.com/support-bridges-gateways). ► Start the Ixxat CAN-Gateway Configurator. ► Open menu Scan and select All Ixxat devices. → 5.3.
Installation 14 (34) ► Open menu Target and select Read configuration from target. ► Save the configuration on the computer. ► Open menu Target and select Update Firmware. ► Select the update file. → Firmware of the connected device is updated. ► In the status window check if the update is completed successfully. ► If the device was updated from V5 to V6 , select V6 in drop-down list Select device version.
Configuration 6 15 (34) 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.
Configuration 6.2 16 (34) Basic Configuration It is possible to add information about the configuration in fields Author, Configuration Name and Additional Info in the configuration tree entry Info. It is possible to create and save a configuration without a connected device. Saved configurations can be downloaded to connected CAN NT devices with Windows and Linux by using the Command Line Tool (see Downloading the Configuration with Linux, p. 22). 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 1 Fig.
Configuration 17 (34) ► To identify the connected devices and the firmware version, open menu Scan and select All Ixxat devices. → Via USB and Ethernet connected devices and firmware version of the devices are shown. → Devices with an unknown or invalid IP address are not found. If a device that is connected via Ethernet in a local network is not found: ► See Scanning for Devices with Unknown IP Addresses, p. 18 for more information.
Configuration 6.2.2 18 (34) Scanning for Devices with Unknown IP Addresses If the IP address of a device that is connected via Ethernet is unknown or invalid in the local network, the device can be found via menu Scan — IP configuration. Device is only found by scanning, if correct device type and firmware version are selected. Make sure, that device type and firmware version are selected according to the connected device. HMS Industrial Networksrecommends to use a static IP address.
Configuration 6.2.3 19 (34) Changing IP Address and Device Name 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 the CAN-Gateway Configurator, p. 16). ► 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.
Configuration 6.3 20 (34) Configuration of Interface Modes (ASCII, VCI, ECI) The VCI interface mode can only be operated via Ethernet. Configuration is possible via USB. Fig. 8 ASCII Gateway Mode ► Make sure, that the device is connected to the network (see Connecting Possibilities (CAN@net NT with PC), p. 15) and to the CAN-Gateway Configurator (see Connecting the Device in the CAN-Gateway Configurator, p. 16). ► In drop-down list (1) select the desired interface operational mode.
Configuration 6.4 21 (34) Configuration of Bridge Modes (Local CAN, CAN-Eth-CAN) In the CAN-Ethernet-CAN Bridge mode each device can be configured differently. But to build a Bridge configuration all devices must be configured in one configuration file. The configuration has to be set completely for all devices (Master, Slave 1 to 3) and then the complete configuration has to be downloaded to each device. In the Local CAN Bridge mode only one device is connected and has to be configured.
Configuration 22 (34) ► ► Configure the following for the Master and for each Slave in use: ► In the configuration tree select General (8) and enter the IP address of the device for CAN-Ethernet-CAN bridges (4). ► Define the general settings (5). ► In the configuration tree select CAN Ports (8) and configure the baud rate settings for all ports in use (6). ► Configure further settings if desired (MQTT, Syslog, Action Rules, etc.) (8). Configure the mapping table (7).
Configuration 6.6 23 (34) Reset Fig. 10 6.6.1 Reset Reset Target With Reset target (1) it is possible to restart the device without reset the configuration. ► 6.6.2 Open menu Target and select Reset target. → Device is restarted (software of the device). → Connection to the CAN-Gateway Configurator is lost. Reset to Factory Settings With Reset to Factory Settings (2) it is possible to reset the configuration of a connected device to factory settings.
Configuration 6.7 24 (34) Read and erase LOG File In case of an error the device writes the error in a log file. The log file can be read from the device, saved as a txt file and send to the Ixxat support if needed. ► Open menu Target and select Read and erase LOG file. → ► Window Save Log File As is opened. Define a file name and save the file. → .txt-file is created and saved. → Configuration file is saved. CAN@net NT User Manual 4.01.0332.20000 2.
