CANboardXL Interface Family Manual

2.1 Introduction
CANboardXL for PCI, PCIe und PXI
The CANboardXL is available in three variants that have identical functionalities
PCI card for installation in desktop PCs
PCI express card for installation in desktop PCs
Compact PCI/PXI backplane card for installation in industrial PCs
All cards contain a powerful 32 bit 64MHz microcontroller from ATMEL with ARM7
core and two SJA1000 CAN controllers from Philips. The SJA1000 handles CAN
messages with 11 bit as well as 29 bit identifiers. The reception and analysis of remote frames is possible without restrictions. The CANboardXL is able to detect and to generate error frames on the bus.
Configuration
The CANboardXL interface family can be configured with the Vector Hardware Config tool (Windows | Start | Settings | Control Panel | Vector Hardware).
Further details about the tool can be found in the separate installation instructions at the end of this manual.
Bus types
Various transceivers are available to interface the CANboardXL to a particular type of bus. These CAN and LIN transceivers are available as plug-in boards (Piggybacks) and can be mounted on the CANboardXL. For information on installing transceivers please refer to chapter Replacing Piggybacks on page 15. A list of available
Piggybacks is included in the accessories manual on the driver CD:
\Documentation\Accessories_for_Network_Interfaces.pdf
Connectors
The CANboardXL has the following connectors:
Two D-SUB9 connectors for independent CAN and LIN operation
Binder connector (type 712) for synchronization
Internal sync connector (CANboardXL PCIe only)
Note: The pin assignments of the D-SUB9 connectors depend on the Piggybacks
being used. Further information can be found in the accessories manual on the driver CD.
2.2 Driver Installation
Note: Information about the driver installation process can be found in the separate
installation instructions at the end of this manual.

2.3 Synchronization
General information
Time stamps, which are created during a measurement by two or more devices of the Vector interface family, can be synchronized by software or hardware.
2.3.1 Software Sync
Synchronization by software
The software synchronization is driver-based and available for all applications without
any restrictions. This kind of synchronization can be switched on in Vector Hardware Config | General information | Settings | Software time synchronization.
Figure 1: Switching on the software synchronization.
The accuracy of the time stamp correction depends on the device and is typically 50 µs.
2.3.2 Hardware Sync
Synchronization by hardware
A more precise synchronization of multiple devices is possible via the hardware synchronization. The hardware synchronization with a maximum of four devices is done with the SYNCcableXL (see accessories manual, article number 05018) and has to be supported by the application. The accuracy of the time stamp correction depends on the application and is typically 1 µs.
Functionality of the hardware synchronization
The devices to be synchronized must be interconnected by a two-wire bus (signals: SYNC and GND). The devices have a 3-pin connector for this use case (Binder type
712).
Pin
Assignment
1
Not connected
2
Synchronization line
3
Ground
At each high-low edge of the sync line the CANboardXL generates a time stamp that is provided to the application. This allows the application to synchronize the time stamps of different devices to a common time base.
Page 12
CANboardXL Interface Family Manual
- 10 - Version 4.0 © Vector Informatik GmbH
The synchronization edges can be generated by the VN or the XL interface family.
Note: The hardware synchronization must be supported by the application. For
further information please refer to the relevant manual. Please note that the software
synchronization must be disabled (see Vector Hardware Config | General information | Settings | Software time synchronization) if the hardware
synchronization is used.
Synchronization by sync connector (CANboardXL PCIe)
Multiple CANboardXL PCIe can be synchronized either by the Binder connector outside the PC housing or by the internal sync connector. The internal sync connector is a 10-pin connector (90° offset) and available next to the Piggyback slots. The synchronization is done with a ribbon cable and a 10-pin standard socket.
Time synchronization through PXI backplane
Additional to the synchronization described above, the CANboardXL pxi supports time synchronization through the PXI backplane.
In Figure 3 (see Replacing Piggybacks on page 15) you can see the switches (white circle) that are used to control the synchronization between the cards.
In position ON, the synchronization is active. The right and left end of the
synchronization line, which is build with multiple CANboardXL pxi cards, has to be cut off. The cut off of the right end is done with switch 2, the cut off of the left end with switch 1.
Example

3.1 General Notes
Caution: Turn off the main power supply and disconnect your computer’s power cord.
Otherwise systems using an ATX power supply unit with soft power off may still be powering the PCI slot. This can damage your PCI card when it is inserted into the slot
Caution: Do not force the CANboardXL into the slot. Make sure that the connectors
of the card’s PCI connector are aligned with the bus connector on the motherboard before you insert the card into the slot. If it does not fit properly, gently remove it and try again.
Note: Please observe all safety precautions prescribed by your PC manufacturer for
card installation!
Note: Do not touch the bottom and the topside of the PCBs (CANboardXL main
board and Piggybacks).

The devices can be run with several applications from Vector (e. g. CANoe, CANalyzer) or with measurement applications from other companies. Therefor the devices require a related license. Applications based on the Vector XL Driver Library can be run without a license.
2.2 Hints
Note: Many desktop PCs have power managers which block the CPU for a specific
time. This impairs accuracy of the time system. If your application has stringent timing requirements (e. g. time-driven sending of messages or time-driven evaluations), you have to deactivate these power managers. Power management settings may be con-
tained in the BIOS setup or on the Control Panel of Windows XP / Vista / Windows 7
(e. g. Power options).
No further mention will be made of the power manager in this document.
Info: Please note that you will need Administrator Rights for the following steps.

Loop3.exe
Either two High-Speed or two Low-Speed transceivers are necessary for this functional test:
1. Connect two CAN channels with a suitable cable. If two High-Speed transceivers are being used, we recommend our CANcable 1 (CANcable 0 for Low-Speed transceivers).
2. Start \Drivers\Common\Loop3.exe from the driver CD. This program accesses the Vector devices and transmits CAN messages.
3. Select the connected CAN channels of the device(s) to be tested.
4. Set the appropriate baudrate depending on the transceiver being used (High­Speed max. 1,000,000 Bd, Low-Speed max. 125,000 Bd).
5. Click [Start].
