2.1 Hardware Installation
We recommend to install/ update the driver software before
connecting the device to the PC/ Laptop (see Driver Installation/
USB chapter).
As a rule hardware installation for basicCAN 61 PLUS means to
connect the power supply cable and the USB or Ethernet cable to the
control PC.
Please use the supplied USB cable to connect the basicCAN 61 PLUS
stand-alone device to the PC’s USB interface.
Other cables may be inapplicable.
2.2 Driver Installation
To install the GOEPEL electronic USB drivers on your system, execute
the G-USB driver setup.
For this, start the
G-USB-Setup-*.exe setup program
(the asterisk stands for the version number) of the delivered CD
and follow the instructions.
Your basicCAN 61 PLUS can be operated under Windows®XP
as well as under Windows®7/ 32 bit and Windows®7/ 64 bit.
Before connecting the basicCAN 61 PLUS stand-alone hardware
to a USB port of your PC, please ensure that the external power
supply of the device is ready for operation (the hardware of basicCAN
61 PLUS is NOT supplied via USB). Then, connect the device by the
supplied USB cable to a USB port of your PC.
Due to the plug and play capability of Windows®, the operating
system will recognize the device automatically. As soon as it has been
detected, the Windows®“Hardware wizard” will start and guide you
through the device driver installation process.
Select the “Install software automatically” option and click “Next” to

Hardware
basicCAN 61 PLUS – User Manual 3-5
For operating the basicCAN 61 PLUS,
there is an external power supply of 7..25 VDC required.
For this, you can use the ext. Power basicCAN connector for the
delivered AC adaptor plug (12 VDC) at the device’s rear side, with
coaxial power plug (2.1 x 5.5 mm/ plus polarity inside).
To supply the test object, a voltage connected to the ext.Power Front
connection at the device’s rear side is distributed to the KL30, KL15,
KL31 sockets at the front panel.
The KL15 voltage can be switched by software by means of the
Digital OUT1 digital output (G-API command G_Io_Outputs_Digital_Set):

3-6 basicCAN 61 PLUS – User Manual
The basicCAN 61 PLUS has two (optionally up to six) Communication
interfaces, designed as CAN 2.0B interfaces using the TJA1041A
Highspeed CAN Transceiver.
Optionally it is possible to plug in different/ further transceivers
(totally 4, that means not for the CAN Extension board).
By the type of the plugged-in transceivers you decide the performance
of the assigned interfaces!
For changing or plugging in additional transceivers,
open the stand-alone device (with the system switched off).
To do that, unscrew and remove the four upper screws of the frontal
and rear plates, and unscrew slightly the four lower screws
(until the upper cover can be removed). Please proceed extremely
carefully, otherwise the device could be damaged.
When plugging in transceivers, please attend to their correct position
and orientation.
In the case of further inquiries, please contact our support
department ([e-mail]).
The position and orientation of the transceivers
can be seen in the following figure:
Each transceiver type is coded and can be identified clearly.
For the available types of transceivers, see Product Information.
As a rule all four interfaces are supplied by an internal voltage
of 12V (UBATint) generated from ext. Power Supply (see Figure 3-3).
In case of using other voltages for the interfaces,
this internal voltage can be switched off individually by software
(G-API commands
G_Can_Node_InternalVBat_Disable
G_Lin_Node_InternalVBat_Disable or
G_KLine_Node_InternalVBat_Disable).
Then, an external voltage (UBAText) must be supplied via the
predefined pins of the corresponding frontal connector Node 1..4.
In case the internal power supply has to be used again later,
execute the G-API commands
G_Can_Node_InternalVBat_Enable
G_Lin_Node_InternalVBat_Enable or
G_Kline_Node_InternalVBat_Enable.

basicCAN 61 PLUS – User Manual 3-7
The basicCAN 61 PLUS board hast two extension sockets at its top
side to plug in FlexRay Extension boards. Each board has an
independent FlexRay controller and two FlexRay transceivers,
providing full dual channel functionality.
For a basicCAN 61 PLUS with CAN Extension board,
only one FlexRay Extension board can be plugged in.
A basicCAN 61 PLUS FlexRay Extension board provides the following
features:
♦FlexRay controller (Freescale MFR4310)
♦FlexRay 2.1 protocol compliant
♦Support of the following FlexRay transmission rates (in Mbit/s):
10 | 8| 5 | 2.5
♦2 FlexRay Transceivers (TJA 1080)
♦Wakeup detection
♦Switchable termination resistors
♦Full galvanic isolation
♦Isolated power supply of the transceivers
The following table shows the main characteristics
of a FlexRay module:
Symbol Indication Min. Typ. Max. Unit Remarks
FlexRay interface
Transmission rate 2.5 10 Mbit/s Per channel
RFR Termination resistor 100 Ωdetachable
Notes on RFR:
The 100Ω bus termination resistor can be deactivated by software
(G-API command G_FlexRay_Node_BusTermination_Disable,
reactivation by G_FlexRay_Node_BusTermination_Enable).
When configured with two FlexRay modules, both FlexRay modules
can be used jointly to startup a FlexRay cluster.
In this case one node will be the leading cold starter and the other
one the following cold starter.
In cases where the ECU under test is a cold start node itself, a single
module can start up the cluster.
This way the second module could be used to operate a second
FlexRay cluster independently.

Hardware
3-8 basicCAN 61 PLUS – User Manual
In the case there are more CAN interfaces required, a CAN Extension
board for two CAN interfaces can be plugged to the position for
FlexRay Node B (generally providing CAN5 and CAN6).
The highspeed transceivers TJA1041A for these two interfaces can not
be exchanged by other transceiver types.
Moreover, no external supply by UBAText is possible, the supply
voltage comes from UBATint (12V).
The termination resistor for both transceivers is switchable.

Notes on RCAN for the high-speed Transceiver:
The 120Ω Bus termination resistor can be deactivated by software
(G-API command G_CAN_Node_BusTermination_Disable,
reactivation by G_CAN_Node_BusTermination_Enable).
Notes on RLIN: The 1kΩ pullup resistor corresponds to the LIN Master
bus termination, it can be activated by software
(G-API command G_Lin_PullUpResistor_Enable àMaster,
deactivation by G_Lin_PullUpResistor_Disable àSlave).
In the deactivated state, the internal termination resistance
of the LIN transceiver is effective (typical 30kΩ for TJA1020).
