ESD CAN - PCC User manual

Attention!
Strictly follow the installation notes!
(See chapt. 2 of the hardware manual).
The order of the individual steps of the hardware installation as specified in the
installation notes must be followed at any rate, because otherwise serious damage can
be caused to PC or laptop, or to the CAN-PCC module!
Especially the low-voltage connector has to be connected to the CAN-PCC module first
and only after that the module is to be connected to the PC/laptop! Otherwise live parts
of the low-voltage connector (+5V between the middle contact) could come into contact
with earthed metal parts of the cases and cause a short circuit!

1. Overview
1.1 Module Description
The module offers a bidirectional interface between CENTRONICS and CAN, and therefore an
easy and inexpensive coupling of a PC, laptop, or something similar, to the CAN.
By means of the CAN-PCC module other CAN modules can be controlled or monitored for instance
by a PC.
Fig. 1.1.1: Block circuit of the module
The CAN controller is a 87C592, which supports 2048 CAN identifiers. The CAN interface is
electrically separated from the CENTRONICS interface by optocouplers and DC/DC converters.
The voltage supply of the module has to be feeded externally. This can for instance be made via a
keyboard adaptor cable from the PC/laptop or via a miniature connector-power pack. The
permissible input-voltage range can be taken from the technical data on the following pages.

Overview
CAN-PCC Hardware Manual Rev. 1.24
Data is transferred from the CENTRONICS interface to the CAN byte by byte. Data which is
transferred vice versa (CAN to CENTRONICS) can also be transferred byte by byte.
Older PC-CENTRONICS interfaces, however, do not always have a bidirectional data path. The
software contained in the product package recognizes this and then uses the control lines for the
data transfer. In this case four bits each are transferred parallel.
The data transmitted by the CAN is buffered in a (minimum) 512 bytes-sized FIFO so that no data is
lost at larger data rates.
The CENTRONICS is connected by means of a 25-pole male DSUB connector. The CAN is
connected via a 9-pole male DSUB connector.
The complete communication firmware of the module is contained in the product package. The user
interface between PC and CAN is made of libraries which contain commands to parameterize the
module and control the data transfer. Libraries for Windows (.dll), OS/2 and DOS are available. An
installation program makes it easy to take the module into operation and adapt it to the PC.
The layer-7 protocols for CAL, CANopen and SDS are supported by means of various software
packages (optional) for the PC.

2. Installation Notes
The order for the individual steps of the hardware installation must strictly be followed,
because otherwise serious damage can be caused at PC or laptop or at the CAN-PCC
module!!
For wiring please use only the adaptors and lines provided.
Keep to the following steps to install the module:
1. Switch off the PC or laptop.
2. Connect voltage supply to the CAN-PCC module.
The voltage supply is either connected via an adaptor cable which has to be connected to the
keyboard socket of the PC (9-pole DIN socket) or the keyboard socket of the laptop (5-pole
mini-DIN socket), or via a connector-power pack.
The low-voltage connector must always be plugged into the CAN-PCC module first
and then the module has to be connected to the PC/laptop! Otherwise voltage carrying
parts of the low-voltage connector (+5V in the middle contact) could come into contact with
earthed metal parts of the cases, which would lead to a short circuit!
3. Connect CAN net.
4. Connect CAN-PCC to the desired CENTRONICS port of the PC/laptop.
In order to connect the CENTRONICS connectors securely, the fastening screws have to be
tightened.
5. Switch on PC/laptop.
After the PC/laptop has been switched on, the green status LED of the CAN-PCC module
has to flash. The various flash status are described on page 17.
6. Now the software installation can be started.
The software installation will be described in the software manual.

3.1 CAN-Interface
3.1.1 Bitrate
The bitrate can be programmed in ranges from 10 kbit/s to 1.0 Mbit/s. After a RESET the controller
has to be initialized before it can receive or transmit data on the CAN. Further information on this
can be found in the software manual of the module.
3.1.2 Transmit- and Receive Circuit of the CAN Interface (Physical Layer)
The physical interface of the esd-CAN is in accordance with the ISO 11898 norm. The interface is
connected to the busline via a male 9-pole DSUB connector (P3).
The Si9200 or the 82C250 are used as CAN transceivers on the module.
The signals are electrically separated from the CAN by optocouplers.
