The G CAR 6282 is a programmable, intelligent multibus controller with various communication interfaces for
automotive and general control technology. Typical applications are:
•Communication with various bus users via CAN/ CANFD, LIN/ K-Line, FlexRay or Automotive Ethernet
for data acquisition and signal control
•Residual bus simulation and test of complex control units
•Application of transport and diagnostic protocols, network management, XCP, SecOC etc. directly on
the hardware
•Flashing of control units
If you use the device for any purpose for which it is not intended, the GOEPEL electronics GmbH
can not be held liable for resulting damage.
The device is intended for indoor use only and to be used only at an ambient temperature of 0 ° C - +45 ° C. It
must not be exposed to extreme temperatures, temperature fluctuations, heating and cooling systems, direct
sunlight, high levels of dust, vibration and impact, extreme humidity or moisture.
The device is only to be used in a technically perfect condition as well as in accordance with its intended use, in
a safety-conscious and hazard-conscious manner, observing the operating instructions! In particular, faults that
may affect safety must be rectified immediately!

1.3 EMC Protection Measures
The G CAR 6282 Multibus Controller complies with the Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive (2014/30/EU).
In order to comply with the electromagnetic compatibility, the system may only be operated in the delivered
condition. Mechanical and electrical changes of any kind are not allowed. Use only suitable shielded signal and
control cables.
If the product is installed and operated in a system with other equipment, accessories and compo-
nents, the system as a whole and all its equipment, accessories and components must conform to the
EMC directives and standards. The system integrator is responsible for compliance with the EMC Direc-
tive 2014/30/EU and national EMC laws for installed systems, system accessories and system compo-
nents that have not been supplied or tested and approved by GOEPELelectronics as manufacturer of
the equipment.
1.4 EU Declaration of Conformity
The EU Declaration of Conformity can be found in the appendix to this documentation.
1.5 General Safety Regulations

prevention and environmental protection of the countries in which you operate the system.
•Do not make any changes to the system without the written consent of the manufacturer.
•Never operate damaged devices or components.
•Keep liquids away from the unit and do not place any containers with liquid on the unit.
Danger of tripping or falling due to improperly laid cables
•Lay cables so that nobody can step on them or trip over them.
•Never try to stretch cables to enable a connection. The cables must always have enough clearance.
Damage caused by improper use or failure to observe the safety instructions and warnings is not covered by the
warranty. For consequential damages no liability is assumed by GOEPELelectronics !
1.6 Liability and Warranty Exclusion
The G CAR 6282 has not been developed, tested or intended for use in safety-related applications. Do not use

2.1 Hardware Installation
Please make sure that all hardware installation work is done while the system is off! The power
supply should be disconnected.
The hardware installation of the stand-alone box G CAR 6282 is limited to the connection of the power supply
and the connection to the control computer. The G CAR 6282 Multibus Controller starts automatically when the
power supply is switched on.
Please use the included LAN cable to connect the stand-alone box G CAR 6282 to the ethernet in-
terface of the PC. Other cables may not be suitable!
2.2 Driver Installation
The G CAR 6282 Multibus Controller can be operated under Windows 7, 8 and 10 as well as under Linux.
2.2.1 USB
To set up the USB drivers on your system, the GUSB driver setup must be run. To do this, start the setup pro-
gram G-USB-Setup-*.exe on the supplied product CD and follow the instructions.
2.2.2 G-API
The G-API (Goepel electronics Application Programming Interface) is a software interface. It supports various
hardware products from GOEPELelectronics and gives the user the opportunity to integrate them into their
own applications. The enclosed CD contains the setup for installing the G-API , which will guide you through the
Hardware Wizard. For more information about G-API , its installation and about the HardwareExplorer , see the
G-API Quickstart Guide .
2.2.3 Ethernet
When using the ethernet interface, no driver installation is required to communicate with the control computer.
The device can be addressed directly via the IP address. However, to address the device, you will need a network
adapter that has a valid IP address and subnet mask. Otherwise the PC / Laptop will not be able to communicate
with the G CAR 6282 Multibus Controller in the network.
For this setup, open the "Properties" dialog of the corresponding network adapter and select "Internet Protocol
Version 4 (TCP / IPv4)".
