1.1 Overview

Congratulations on your purchase of the IXXAT CANlink II, a high-quality electronic component developed and manufactured according to the latest technological standards.

This manual is intended to familiarize you with your CANlink II. Please read this manual before initial startup.

The CANlink II enables devices with only one serial port a simple, configurable access to CAN and CANopen networks. CANlink II provides two operation modes for this purpose.

In the CAN operation mode (CANlink), received CAN data are transmitted transparently to the RS232 interface. Data received via RS232 are mapped into CAN telegrams and transmitted. One configurable identifier each is available for transmission and reception.

In the CANopen operation mode (COPlink), the CANlink operates as a CANopen node, where the serial data are stored as a byte stream object in the manufacturer-specific object dictionary range. The supported CANopen features are:

• 1 server SDO expedited, non-expedited, no CRC check

• 1 TX PDO static mapping

• 1 RX PDO static mapping

• Emergency message

• Heartbeat producer

• NMT slave

The communication interfaces and operation modes are configured by means of a configuration file, which is saved on the device via a loading program.

The CANlink II is available in two housing versions, a plastic housing for DIN rail mounting or as a desktop device in a robust aluminum housing.

2.1.1 Power supply (X1)

The device is supplied with direct voltage of 9 V - 36 V. A pre-fabricated cable for power supply is included in the scope of delivery. The connection allocation is shown in Table 2-1.

The CANlink II is protected against polarity reversal, under-voltage and overvoltage. In the event of polarity reversal or under-voltage, it is switched off, with over-voltage an internal fuse is triggered.

2.2 Ground connections

In the galvanically isolated version, the GND of CAN (X3) is isolated from the rest of the circuit, the GND of the serial port (X2) is connected to the GND of the power supply (X1).

In the version without galvanic isolation, all GND connections (X1, X2, X3) are connected with each other.

The shield connections of CAN (X3), serial port (X2) and power supply (X1) are connected with each other both in the version with and in the version without galvanic isolation.
