2.3 Intended Use
The devices are intended for installation on standard DIN rail or for use with adhesive feet on an
even surface.
2.3.1 CANnector Device Variants S, L, SE, LE, LA
This manual describes the external interfaces of the device, their functionality and pin allocation.
The device does not contain any application beside the operating system. Adding functionality to
the device is provided by the Advanced Configuration Tool (ACT) or the Software Development
Kit. For further information refer to the corresponding manuals or online help. The device is
intended to be used in the office, stationary applications, test benches or test vehicles.
2.3.2 CANnector Log, Range, Bridge
Each product variant is ready-to-use due to the pre-configured basic configuration which is
already loaded on the device. CANnector Log is used to log CAN, CAN FD, and LIN communication.
CANnector Bridge is used to connect computer systems to CAN and CAN FD networks, to connect
the networks with each other, and to change or manipulate the network data. CANnector Range
is used to forward CAN, CAN FD, and LIN networks through Ethernet networks and to connect
the networks to computer systems over a long distance.

The pre-configured CANnector is available in the product variants Log, Bridge and Range. Each
product variant is ready-to-use due to the basic configurations for the specific use of the variant
which are already loaded on the device. With the Ixxat ACT tool individual configurations with
further functions can be created additionally.
4.2.1 Common Features

• real-time clock
• 2 D-Sub 9 galvanically isolated (4 kV for 1s)
Concerning the hardware features the pre-configured CANnector product variants correspond to the
CANnector S device variant.
4.2.2 Pre-Configured Product Variants
CANnector Log
With the CANnector Log the communication of the connected busses can be logged. The four
provided basic CAN logging configurations (125 Kbit/s, 250 Kbit/s, 500 Kbit/s, and 1000 Kbit/s),
that initializes all 6 CAN interfaces with the selected baud rate log all received data in csv format.
With the ACT configurations can be created, that allow for example to log individual messages
and individual signals and to define trigger messages. By default the configuration with 250 Kbit/
s is loaded.
CANnector Bridge
The CANnector Bridge can act as Bridge and as Gateway. The four provided basic configurations
(125 Kbit/s, 250 Kbit/s, 500 Kbit/s, and 1000 Kbit/s) initialize all 6 CAN interfaces with the
selected baud rate and forward all received data as follows:
• CAN 1 to CAN 2 and vice versa
• CAN 3 to CAN 4 and vice versa
• CAN 5 to CAN 6 and vice versa
By default the configuration with 250 Kbit/s is loaded. With the ACT tool new configuration can
be created for example to forward individual messages and signals and to change message ID
and content. Signal manipulation and the creation of specific algorithms that are executed
directly on the device is possible by writing own C code extensions with Eclipse IDE.
CANnector Range
With the CANnector Range the connected busses can transfer data over a long distance via
Ethernet. The eight provided basic configurations (four Master configurations and four Slave
