2.1 Introduction

CANcaseXL

The CANcaseXL is a USB interface with a powerful 32 bit 64MHz microcontroller from ATMEL with ARM7 Core and two SJA1000 CAN controllers from Philips. It can process CAN messages with either 11-bit or 29-bit identifiers. It is also possible to receive and analyze Remote Frames without any limitations. The CANcaseXL is also capable of generating and detecting Error frames on the bus.

CANcaseXL log

The CANcaseXL log offers the same features as the CANcaseXL, but it can also be used as a data logger for CAN and LIN messages. The logged data is saved on industrial-grade SD cards (see section Memory Card on page 12).

Configuration

The CANcaseXL/log 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 CANcaseXL/log to a particular type of bus. These CAN and LIN transceivers can be purchased as plug-in boards (Piggybacks) and can be mounted inside the CANcaseXL/log. For information on installing transceivers please refer to section 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

2.2 Driver Installation

Note: Information on the driver installation process can be found in the separate

installation instructions at the end of this manual.

2.3 Connectors

General information

The CANcaseXL has the following connectors:

 USB connector for the usage with PC in Interface Mode  Binder connector (type 711) for power supply, synchronization and trigger  two D-SUB9 connectors for independent CAN/LIN operation

The CANcaseXL log also has:

 an SD card slot for data logging

Note: In Interface Mode, the SD card cannot be accessed if bus activities take

place or if an application accesses the device.

Note: The CANcaseXL log is delivered with a 2GB SD card.

Manual CANcaseXL and CANcaseXL log

2.3.1 USB Connector

Description

The CANcaseXL/log is connected to an USB port which also supplies the CANcaseXL/log in Interface Mode.

2.3.2 Binder Connector

Description

If the USB port is not capable of supplying the required 500 mA operating current, the CANcaseXL/log may be optionally supplied by an external power supply. The CANcaseXL/log provides a 3-pin Binder connector for this purpose. Available power supplies can be found in the accessories manual on the driver CD.

Assignment

Voltage supply 7 V…33 V (recommended 12 V)

Synchronization line / external trigger input

Ground

Warning: It is recommended to connect the logger to the same voltage supply (e.g.

battery of the vehicle) as the vehicle or test equipment. If two different voltage supplies are being used for logger and test equipment, the

ground (GND) pins of the two voltage supplies must be connected.

2.3.3 External Trigger Input (CANcaseXL log only)

Description

In Logging Mode, pin 2 of the 3-pin Binder connector acts as a trigger input. You can initiate triggers by pulling down pin 2 to GND. The trigger input is low active, i.e. a trigger occurs by a falling edge.

Warning: The external trigger input is designed for 5 V (TTL) and must not be tied to

12 V!

2.3.4 D-SUB9 Connector

Description

The CANcaseXL/log is connected to the CAN or LIN bus (Channel1 and Channel2) via a 9-pin D-SUB socket. 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.

2.4 Synchronization

Note: Further information on the synchronization can be found in section Time

Synchronization on page 20.

CANcaseXL and CANcaseXL log Manual

2.5 LED Display

Description

The CANcaseXL/log has three LEDs for each channel (Channel1 and Channel2). The LEDs indicate the direction of the message and any error frame that occurs:

Err

Meaning

(( )) - -

Active if messages are being received.

(( ))

Active if messages are being sent.

- - (( ))

Active if error events occur on the bus. Only in Logger Mode:

Blinking LED means that the related channel is not „on bus“.

(( )) : Blinking or flashing LED.
