1 Overview
1.1 Features
•Connection of two physically separated
CAN networks
•Filtering and mapping of identifiers
•Bus activity displayed by LED
•Gateway configuration via RS232 or CAN
•Wiring using a multiway connector
1.2 General description
The CAN/CAN gateway CG-ARM7 connects
two physically divided CAN networks. The ca-
pability of having individual baudrates on both
segments, enables routing between them.
The filtering of single identifiers or ranges of
identifiers lessens the busload. The mapping
of single or ranges of identifiers qualifies
CG-ARM7 to be used under difficult higher
level protocol conditions.
The device is configured via serial interface or
via CAN network. Due to the intuitive structure
of the configuration file in ASCII format,
programming and administration is very easy.

2 Handling
2.1 Connection
The CG-ARM7 possesses a multiway connec-
tor for flexible wiring of the CAN interfaces and
the power supply. The RS232 interface on the
device is used for programming and for the
output of diagnostic information. For normal
operation it is not required.
The connector assignment of the multiway
connector and the RS232 interface is located
in chapter “3.1 Pin assignment” in this manual
or on your devices front panel.
2.2 Operation
To start up the gateway just connect the power
supply, the device starts automatically. As
soon as the automatic diagnostics is comple-
ted successfully, the green power LED lites up
permantly.
Important note: Ex factory the device offers
no configuration and must be configured befo-
re it is first run. Configuration instructions for
the gateway are located in chapter “2.3 Confi-
guration”.
2.3 Configuration
The gateway configuration process consists of
two steps:
•Creating a configuration file
CAN/CAN - Gateway CG-ARM7/RMD
2 User Manual

•Storing the configuration file into the
gateway
2.3.1 Configuration file
The configuration file is a text file with the ex-
tension *.gcf. This file holds all data needed by
the gateway for operation. A complete sample
configuration is located in chapter “4.1 Confi-
guration file”.
The values can either be entered in decimal or
hexadecimal notation. Using the hexadecimal
notation, put the character “x” directly before
the particular value.
There are two types of parameters, general
parameters and routing settings. General
parameters include operating information for
the gateway. Routing settings are used for
mapping and filtering of identifiers.
Some parameters are optional. If they are not
defined, the gateway uses default settings.
Simultaneous programming of several devices
is not possible. It must be guaranteed, that
each device can be clearly identified.
In the following all parameters are listed and
described.
# comment
The configuration file can be provided with
comments. Comments are prefaced with the
character “#” and they end with the particular
line.
CG-ARM7/RMD CAN/CAN - Gateway
User Manual 3

Example:
# 1st comment
key = value # 2nd comment
version version
The gateway requires a version number to
identify the programmed configuration. The
version number for the CG-ARM7 standard
version is 1. This key must exist in each confi-
guration file.
Important: The version is not the version of
the configuration! The version display what
kind of configuration is be loaded!
Example:
version = 1
btr bit timing
The bit timing key indicates the speed of the
particular CAN channel. BTR1 indicates the
baud rate for CAN channel 1, BTR2 the baud-
rate for CAN channel 2. Both keys must exist
in each configuration file.
This keys are directly related to the CANBTR
registers of the used controller LPC2119. This
allows most flexible customization of the baud-
rate settings. The basic can clock is 48 MHz.
Example:
# CAN channel 1: 1Mbit/s
btr1 = x00140005
# CAN channel 2: 500KBit/s
btr2 = x001C0005
CAN/CAN - Gateway CG-ARM7/RMD
4 User Manual

Standard speeds recommend by CiA are loca-
ted in chapter “4.2 Standard baudrates”.
pidin,
pidout program identifier
The program identifiers (PIDs) are required for
the gateway configuration via CAN. If you do
not want to program the gateway via CAN, you
can remove this keys from your configuration
file.
The PIDs determine which identifiers will be
used for programming the gateway. “pidin” de-
fines the identifier the configuration software
uses to send requests to the gateway. The key
“pidout” defines the identifier which the gate-
way uses to reply to the configuration software.
For CAN channel 1 and CAN channel 2 diffe-
rent PIDs can be set. But it is also possible to
program the gateway just via one CAN chan-
nel. To set the wanted identifiers for CAN
channel 1 use the keys “pidin1” and “pidout1”.
For CAN channel 2 use the keys “pidin2” and
“pidout2”.
To use a 29-bit identifier prepend the character
“x” before the particular key. Without prefix be-
fore the key 11-bit identifiers will be sent.
Example:
# PIDs for CAN channel 1
# CAN 1: 11-bit IN-Id: 0x5
pidin1 = x5
# CAN 1: 29-bit OUT-Id: 0xA00
xpidout1 = xA00
CG-ARM7/RMD CAN/CAN - Gateway
User Manual 5

# PIDs for CAN channel 2
# CAN 2: 29-bit IN-Id: 0x6E
xpidin2 = x6E
# CAN 2: 29-bit OUT-Id: 0x1FFE
xpidout2 = x1FFE
name configuration label
For easier identification of the programmed
settings, the configuration can be labeled. The
configuration name must not have more than
32 characters and must not contain space cha-
racters or tabs. If this key is missing, no name
will be assigned to the configuration.
Example:
name = standard_configuration
deviceid device id
During the configuration process via CAN the
device has to be uniquely selected in the net-
work. This process is based on the serial num-
ber of the device.
If there is the need to have the configuration
process independent of the serial number, a
device id can be assigned. Then the identifica-
tion of the device depends on the device id
and not on the serial number.
Care must be taken to use a particular device
id just once in a network, if more than one ga-
teways is used.
The device id can have values between 1 and
99999999.
Example:
deviceid = 50

busoff bus off behavior
This key defines the period in milliseconds,
which shall be waited until the gateway gets
bus on again after a bus off condition has oc-
cured. If this value is not defined, the device
remains in bus off state. If a bus off time of 0
milliseconds is set, the gateway tries immedi-
ately to get bus on again.
Example :
busoff = 100
password password
Using a password, the gateway can be protec-
ted against unauthorized access. If the key is
not defined or the value is set to 0, password
protection is disabled. The password is an up
to 14-digit hexadecimal value.
The password protection supports two security
levels.
For the highest security level the highest bit
(56th bit) of the password must be set to 1.
This security level prevents any communicati-
on with the gateway, if the device has not been
unlocked with the correct password before.
At the normal security level, the highest bit
(56th bit) is 0. Read out of information about
the gateway and the configuration is enabled.
Changing the configuration however is not
possible!
Example:
# Security: high
CG-ARM7/RMD CAN/CAN - Gateway
User Manual 7

password = 80 07 05 AF D6 B0 D1
# Security: normal
password = 00 07 05 AF D6 B0 D1
fil routing
The routing settings contain the filtering and
mapping rules for a single identifier or ranges
of identifiers. Only stated identifier or ranges of
identifiers are transmitted and, if existent, the
adequate mapping rule is applied. All incoming
messages with identifiers to which no rule ap-
plies are ignored (defined program identifiers
excepted). Additionally the frame format must
be set within the filtering rules.
Key structure:
Different from the basic keys, the routing key is
constructed in a more complex way. The key
specifies 3 criteria:
[inff] fil channel [outff]=
...
1. inff: Defines the frame format for incoming
messages.
The frame format for incoming messages spe-
cifies whether the filtering rule is applied to
standard or extended messages. If inff is set to
‘s’ standard frame format is specified. When
set to ‘x’ the extended frame format is defined.
2. channel: Defines the channel number.
The channel number specifies whether the fil-
tering rule is applied to incoming messages on
CAN channel 1 or on CAN channel 2.
CAN/CAN - Gateway CG-ARM7/RMD
8 User Manual

3. outff: Defines the frame format for outgoing
messages.
The frame format for outgoing messages spe-
cifies whether the result of the filtering rule is
sent via standard or extended identifier. If outff
is set to ‘s’ standard frame format is specified.
When set to ‘x’ extended frame format is defi-
ned.
Structure of the filtering rule:
Now that the key defines to which message
the rule applies, further selections have to be
made. The filtering rule in turn specifies 3 crite-
ria:
…=sid [- eid][: mid]
1. sid: Defines the identifier the filtering rule is
applied to.
If a range of identifiers is defined, sid is the
start identifier. If the prefix ‘x’ is before the va-
lue the identifier is interpreted as a hexadeci-
mal number.
2. eid: Defines the end identifier for ranges of
identifiers.
If no range of identifiers is used, the value is
not needed. If the prefix ‘x’ is before the value
the identifier is interpreted as a hexadecimal
number.
3. mid: Defines the mapping identifier.
The mapping identifier states the start identifer,
to which the single identifier or the range of
identifiers is mapped. Should the identifiers not
be mapped it is not needed to set this value. If
the prefix ‘x’ is before the value the identifier is
interpreted as a hexadecimal number.

2.3.2 Programming the device
CG-ARM7 is programmed by means of the
configuration software. It offers the possibility
to configure the gateway via serial connection
or via CAN. For the configuration a serial cable
or a PC-CAN interface of EMS Dr. Thomas
Wuensche is needed.
CAN/CAN - Gateway CG-ARM7/RMD
10 User Manual

Setting up the PC interface:
The PC interface is set in the upper left field.
First you choose, if the gateway shall be ac-
cessed via RS232 or via CAN interface. If the
configuration software recognizes, that you do
not use an interface of EMS Dr. Thomas Wu-
ensche you can not select CAN as your inter-
face.
Next the PC interface with which you want to
connect to the CG-ARM7 has to be chosen. If
you have selected RS232 as interface before,
you set up the COM interface here. If you have
chosen CAN, you select your CAN interface
here.
Speed can only be selected, when a connecti-
on via CAN has been made. Choose a stan-
dard baudrate compliant to the CiA or choose
“Custom” to insert a user defined setting. Your
selected baudrate must be the same as the
baudrate of the gateway.
If no configuration is in the gateway it is not
possible to communicate with the gateway via
CAN.

Process selection:
In the right upper field of the configuration soft-
ware you choose the process, you want to
perform.
•Program new configuration
With this process you can program a
new configuration to the device. Before
starting you have to select the configu-
ration you want to write to the gateway.
•Remove configuration from device
This process deletes the current confi-
guration on the CG-ARM7. Afterwards
the gateway is in delivery state again. It
is not needed to delete the configuration
before a new one is programed, as this
is done automatically.
•Read device information
Here information about the gateway and
the configuration within can be read out.

Optional device settings
If the CG-ARM7 is password protected, you
must activate the field “password” and fill in the
correct password. Depending on the security
level, it is possible to request information about
the device even without password.
If CAN has been chosen as the PC interface
the “Inbound Program Identifier” (pidin), the
“Outbound Program Identifier” (pidout) and the
frame format for the program identifiers have
to be set. At last the serial number or the confi-
gured device id of the device has to be inscri-
bed for explicit identification. If you use only
one gateway in the network, you can also ins-
cribe the value ‘0’ here. Never use the value
‘0’, if there are more than one CG-ARM7 gate-
ways in the network.
Starting the download:
To start the download process press start. The
operation may take a while, do not disconnect
the power supply to the device during the con-
figuration process. At that time the routing
functionality of the gateway is deactivated. Af-
