Installation 7 (20)
5 Installation
5.1 Installing the Software
For the operation of the interface a driver is needed.
Windows
► Install the VCI driver (see Installation Guide VCI Driver).
Linux and Real-Time Operating Systems
► Observe information about supported operating systems and interfaces on www.ixxat.com.
5.2 Installing the Hardware
Risk of ESD damages caused by improper handling!
Use ESD protective measures to avoid equipment damage.
Damage of the equipment because of reverse polarity or wrong type of power supply!
Make sure that the power supply is correctly connected and of the recommend type.
Insufficient power supply!
Connect the interface directly to the computer or to self-powered hubs to ensure
sufficient power supply.
The USB-to-CANV2Plugin can be mounted in two ways: with LEDs on the bottom side or with
LEDs on the top side. Note the different heights of the mounting options.
Option 1
LEDs are on the bottom side and not optimally visible when mounted.
Option 2
LEDs are on the top side and visible when mounted.

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.
The shield of the USB cable (Pin 5) is connected to ground (GND) using a 100 nF capacitor. The
shield of the CAN connector is also connected to the ground of the USB plug.

6.2 Fieldbus Connectors
For not galvanic isolated variants field bus ground (CAN GND) and USB ground (GND) have the
same potential.
For galvanic isolated variants field bus ground (CAN GND) and USB ground (GND) are separated.
Note that the filed busses CAN 1, CAN 2, LIN have no galvanic isolation among each other.
The pinning of the single row female headers for the field bus connections depends on the
variant of the USB-to-CAN

► If necessary install a bus termination (see CAN Bus Termination, p. 13).
► Observe pin allocation.
► Connect the CAN fieldbus connector to the CAN fieldbus.
► Start the CAN bus monitor on the computer.
► In the CAN bus monitor adjust USB-to-CAN
characteristics.
► Start the CAN bus monitor communication.
→ Received CAN messages are shown in the receive window of the CAN bus monitor.
→ CAN LED is green flashing with each CAN message.
6.2.2 Connecting the LIN Fieldbus
LIN functionality is exclusively available on the variant 1.01.0288.22043.
Power consumption is limited by a 1 kΩ resistor.
The LIN interface can receive and transmit LIN frames according to LIN specification V1.3 and
V2.0/2.1. The LIN interface can be configured as LIN master.
A 1 kΩ pull-up resistor is automatically activated in LIN Master mode and automatically
deactivated in LIN Slave mode. External pull-up resistors are not necessary.
V2
Plugin properties according to the fieldbus
► To use the LIN interface connect a voltage of 12 V DC (voltage range 8 to 18 V DC) to pin
VBAT.
To ensure successful transmission of LIN messages:
► Connect external voltage before LIN messages are transmitted.
► Make sure, that the external voltage is not switched off and on during operating in LIN
mode.
