3 Functionality and features
In this chapter, you will find information on the device functionality. Further, the
device features, such as connectors and pin assignments, interfaces, indicator and
operating elements, etc., are described in detail.
3.1 Functional range
CANlink GSM / UMTS 5xxx devices allow for communication via CAN, GSM, and
the Internet.
For more detailed information on the different models, refer to
1.2.1 Available models.
The GPS enables the devices to determine their position using the Global
Positioning System. The position data can then be transmitted via GSM/UMTS to
another GSM/PSTN/ISDN/UMTS device or made available to the connected CAN
bus system.
The data of the I/Os can also be made available to the CAN bus or be transmitted
via GSM/UMTS. The non-volatile logging memory can be used to collect CAN data
over a period of time. The complete contents of the logging memory can then be
transmitted via GPRS/UMTS in one burst.
All CANlink GSM / UMTS 5xxx devices feature GPRS service; the CANlink UMTS
5xxx devices additionally feature EDGE/UMT S/HSDPA services. Beyond the GSM
functionality, these services allow for communication with web servers at higher
data rates. The communication is based on the TCP/IP protocol.
Using these services requires a connection to an Internet server.
For further information about a standard or customized solution see the Proemion
website

As a standard solution for this, Proemion offers various software and server
solutions:
•With Proemion Real-Time, you can access CAN data of monitored
machines or vehicles in near real-time – regardless of your current
location.

3.1.1 Operating modes
CANlink GSM / UMTS 5xxx can be operated in two different modes:
• Real-time mode
• File-transfer mode
3.1.1.1 Real-time mode
RM System
CAN messages are received by the device and sent via the Proemion server to the
remote PC. On this computer there may be an analysis software which can handle
the CAN messages. A bi-directional data transfer is possible. When higher layer
protocols are used, a special firmware and software adaptation may be necessary
due to the delay times caused by the GSM/UMTS network. For this operation a
permanent connection (GSM/UMTS coverage) is necessary.
In this operation mode the CANlink GSM / UMT S 5xxx either logs specific CAN
messages and GPS position data according to its configuration and sends them in

a special format to the Proemion server or a CANopen
master controller can send
files of any format to the Proemion server using the CANlink GSM / UMTS as a
kind of gateway or router to the Proemion server. The devices have an internal
non-volatile memory which allows to store the files in case of a GSM outage. When
the connection is recovered the files are sent to the server automatically.
3.2 Connectors
CANlink GSM / UMTS 5xxx is equipped with the following connectors:
• 1x Main connector
• 1x GSM connector
• 1x GPS connector (models with GPS functionality only)
3.2.1 Main connector
The main connector serves for
• connecting the device to the CAN bus
• supplying the device with power
Therefore, CANlink GSM / UMTS 5xxx has to be connected to the CAN bus in
order to operate.

The additional I/Os consist of two analog inputs that have an input range of
0…10 V DC. Optionally they can also be used as digital inputs with a maximum
input voltage of up to 32 V DC.
The short-circuit proof digital outputs are PnP switching and can be diagnosed by
the CANlink GSM / UMTS 5xxx device. They will apply the supply voltage of the
device to the output pins and are able to provide a current of up to 500 mA.
