1. Introduction
“Embedded Internet” and “Embedded Ethernet” are hot topics today.
Nowadays the Ethernet protocol becomes the de-facto standard for local area
network. Via Internet, connectivity is occurring everywhere, from home appliances
to vending machines to testing equipment to UPS…etc. Using Ethernet for
network in industrial area is appealing because the required cabling is already
installed. The I-7540D from ICP DAS is a solution that enables CAN networks to
be coupled together over the Internet/Ethernet, whereby remote monitoring and
control is possible. The I-7540D controls networked communication and makes a
transparent CAN-based application interface available to the user.
The device supports a transparent, protocol-independent transfer of the CAN
messages, thus allowing its implementation into a wide range of possible
applications. Furthermore, the I-7540D can be used with various higher layer CAN
protocols (e.g. CANopen, DeviceNet or other proprietary protocols). The following
figure shows the application architecture for the I-7540D.

1.3 VxComm Technology
The I-7540D is designed as a RS-232/RS-485/CAN to Ethernet Gateway. So it
follows that they can be used to link these RS-232/RS-485/CAN devices to central
computer as follows:
Figure 1-2: Application of I-7540D
Compared to the RS-485 network, these Ethernet network hubs are already in
existence for system network. Therefore, the RS-232 devices can find the closest
hub and link to the central computer with the help of the I-7540D. The Ethernet
network is extremely popular and already existing for most applications, hence,
this approach is a very successful. In general, it is more difficult to write a TCP/IP
program than a COM 1/2 program. Therefore,the VxComm technology is
developed to simulate COM-ports of the I-7540D to become COM 3/4/5…/256
of the central computer. Then users can write a COM port program to link these
RS-232/RS-485/CAN devices and need not to concern themselves with any
TCP/IP problem.

In some factories, there are old systems still running and in case. These old
systems only support COM port applications. Therefore, the Vxcomm technology
can be used to upgrade these old systems to support Ethernet network.
To recap, the VxComm technology is useful as follows:
Provides a much easier interface for software programmers.
Keeps the old systems going without program modification
The block diagram of VxComm technology for the I-7540D is given as follows:
The VxComm technology can be used to simulate COM/CAN ports of the I-7540D
to become a COM port of PC. With the help of VxComm driver, users can access
the remote COM/CAN ports of the I-7540D just as them would access the PC’s
COM port.

2.2.2 Connect to CAN Bus
In order to provide an easy CAN bus wiring, the I-7540D supplies one CAN
port with two CAN bus connector interfaces. Each connecter built on the I-7540D
looks like as figure 2-3 and table 2-2.

2.3 Terminator resistor settings
In order to minimize reflection effects on the CAN bus line, the CAN bus lines
have to be terminated at both ends by two terminal resistances. Based on the ISO
11898-2 spec, each terminal resistance is 120Ω (or between 108Ω~132Ω). The
length related resistance should have 70 mΩ/m. Users should check the
resistances of their CAN bus, before they install a new CAN network as figure 2-4.
Figure 2-4: Terminator resistor
Moreover, to minimize the voltage drop on long distance, the terminal
resistance should be higher than the value defined in the ISO 11898-2. Table 2-4
may be used as a reference.

Therefore, the I-7540D module supplies a jumper for users to connect the
terminator resistor or not. If users want to use this terminator resistor, please open
the I-7540D cover and use the JP3 jumper to activate the 120Ωterminator
resistor built in the system, as in the figure 2-5. Note that the default setting is
active. And about the J3 jumper setting, please refer the table 2-5.

2.4 LED Indication
The I-7540D provides the Converter function between the Ethernet port and
the RS-232 & RS485 & CAN port. It can handle both 11-bits and 29-bits ID format
according to whether it is a CAN 2.0A or 2.0B. It also provides some LEDs to
indicate to users what situation the I-7540D is in.
2.4.1 Power LED
There is a red indicator-LED in the I-7540D as follow:
Firmware is running: flashing red
The default shipping of I-7540D will be firmware inside, so the red
indicator-LED of I-7540D will be ON 0.5 second then OFF 0.5 second periodically.
2.4.2 CAN bus indicator LED
The I-7540D includes three single-color LED displays to indicate the status of
module, network and I/O device. They are ER LED (it is red), TX LED (it is green),
and RX LED (it is red). The Indicators assist maintenance personnel in quickly
identifying a problem unit. The LED test is to be performed at power–up. When
the CAN communication events occur, these indicators will be triggered to glitter
with different conditions.
ER LED
This LED provides device status and indicates whether or not the device is
operating properly. Table 2-6 shows the conditions of ER status. Therefore, when
the device is operated normally, the ER-LED must be turned off. If this led flashing
red, users can use the “99S” command, in section 4.5, to read the status of the
I-7540D.
Table 2-6 ER-LED conditions
Condition Description
Off Device is normal; no error occurs
Red Device has unrecoverable fault
Flashing red Device has recoverable fault.
To recover:
Reset device or perform error recovery

TX LED
This LED indicates the status of message transmitted. Table 2-7 shows the
conditions of TX status. Therefore, when the device transmits messages to the
CAN bus, the TX-LED is normally flashing green.
Table 2-7 TX led conditions
Condition Description
Off No data is being transmitted to the CAN side
Flashing green Data are transmitting to the CAN side
Solid green Transmit data error
RX LED
This LED indicates the status of message received. Table 2-8 shows the
conditions for RX status. Therefore, when the device receives CAN messages,
the RX-LED would be flashed.
Table 2-8 RX led conditions
Condition Description
Off No data is being received
Flashing red Data is being received
Solid red Receive error messages
