1 Introduction
I-2533 is a local CAN bridge used to establish a connection between two
CAN bus system via fiber optic transmission medium. In order to solve the
problem between CAN and fiber transmission medium, I-2533 is specially
designed for converting the electrical CAN bus signal to fiber optic cables. Not
just like I-2533, I-2533 has three more important features.
First, the transmission distance limitation of the CAN bus system will not
reduced because of CAN baud rate. It means that the total network distance
can be extended. Second, the bus error on one CAN network will not affect the
operation of another CAN network. Finally, the two CAN network can
communication with each other by using different CAN baud rate for highly
flexibility. Besides, I-2533 provides the utility tool for user-defined baud rate
and filter configuration. By using this tool, it is allowed to have user-defined
baud rate and message filter. When users use the I-2533 on two CAN network
with different CAN baud rate, it may be useful to reduce the bus loading on the
network which has low baud rate.

Sometimes, the CAN_GND voltage level of different CAN devices on a
CAN bus system are not equal. In this case, it could cause some problems and
derogate the system stability. There is one way to relieve this situation; users
can connect the CAN_GND of different CAN devices with each other to
balance the voltage level of CAN_GND.
Electronic circuits are always influenced by different levels of
Electro-Static Discharge (ESD), which become worse in a continental climate
area. F.G. provides a path for conducting the ESD to the earth ground.
Therefore, connecting the F.G correctly can enhance the capability of the ESD
protection and improve the module’s reliability.
Wiring of CAN_GND and F.G. is not necessary; users can modify the
configuration of wiring according to real applications.

2.5 LED Indicator
There are 5 LEDs on the I-2533. One for power indication, three for CAN
bus indication and one for fiber indication. The LED assignment and
description are shown as follows.

Description
PWR
Red
When power on the I-2533, this LED is turned on.
CAN_Tx
Green
When the I-2533 sends one CAN message to CAN
bus, this LED flashes once. Therefore, if bus loading
is heavy, the LED will be always on.
CAN_Rx
Green
When the I-2533 receives one CAN message from
CAN bus, this LED flashes once. Therefore, if bus
loading is heavy, the LED will be always on.
CAN Err
Red
1. If the I-2533 detects the bus-off status on the CAN
bus, this LED is always on. At this moment, the
I-2533 clear all CAN messages stored in the
I-2533 transmission buffer. When the I-2533 can
receive or transmit one CAN message
successfully, the error status is clear and the LED
is turned off if there is no error happened.
2. If the I-2533 can’t send CAN messages
successfully because the bus connector is off or
some errors happen, this LED flashes five times
per second. In this case, the I-2533 will keep all
CAN messages in the transmission buffer until the
buffer is overflow。When the I-2533 can receive or
transmit one CAN message successfully, the error
status is clear and the LED is turned off if there is
no error happened.

3. If the CAN transmission buffer is overflow, this
LED flashes once per second. If the I-2533 sents
all the CAN messages sotred in the transmission
buffer in to the CAN network, the LED is turned off
if there is no error happened.
Fiber Err
Red
1. If the I-2533 detects the RXD line of the fiber is off,
this LED is always on.
2. If the fiber data buffer is overflow, this LED flashes
once per second. If the I-2533 sents all the data
sotred in the fiber data buffer, the LED is turned off
if there is no error happened.

2.6 Terminator Resistor Setup
In order to minimize the reflection effects on the CAN bus line, the CAN
bus line has to be terminated at both ends by two terminator resistors as in the
following figure. According to the ISO 11898-2 spec, each terminator resistor is
120Ω (or between 108Ω~132Ω). The bus topology and the positions of these
terminator resistors are shown as following figure.

The I-2533 has a metallic board attached to the back of the plastic basket.
This metallic board and the F.G. pin of power connector are interconnected
inside the I-2533. When users mount the I-2533 onto a metal DIN-Rail, users
can connect the DIN-Rail to Earth Ground to replace connecting the F.G. pin of
power connector.

I-2533 allows maximum 2 km fiber length for each kind of CAN baud.
Alought the maximum fiber length has no relationship with the CAN baud rate,
but the some attributions of fiber still influence it. Higher attenuation of fiber will
reduce the transmission distance. Users can use following table to know the
relationship between those two.

By the way, when users use I-2533 in their application, they need to use
one pair of I-2533 for communication. The general application architecture
may look like as follows.

3.3 Filter & User-defined Baud Rate Configuration
When users want to use user-defined baud rate or set the message filter,
I-2533 utility tool may be needed. It can be free downloaded from the following
web site or get it in the product CD (path: CAN/Converter/I-2533
/Software):
http://www.icpdas.com/products/Remote_IO/can_bus/i-2533.htm
After getting the utility tool, please follow the following steps to set the baud
rate and message filter.
Step0: Power off the I-2533. Set the rotary switch to “F”, and connect the PC
available COM port with the COM port of the I-2533. Users can find the
communication cable in the product box. When connecting to the COM
port of I-2533, the TxD pin of the cable is connected to the TXD pin of
the COM port, RXD pin of the cable is connected to the RXD pin of the
COM port, and GND pin of the cable is connected to the GND pin of the
COM port. Then, power on the I-2533.

Step1: Execute the I2533_Utility.exe, the dialog of the I-2533 Utility will be
poped up. Select the PC COM port which is connected with the COM
port of the I-2533. Then, click “Connect”button.

I-2533 User Manual (ver. 1.1, 2013/05/31) ------18
Step2: After connecting the I-2533 successfully, the parameters stored in the
I-2533 will be shown on the dialog.
Step3: Users can set the baud rate on the “User-defined Baud Rate”field.
Here, fill “250000”for 250 kbps. Then, set the filter by using the “from”
field, “to”field, and “Add”button. For example, If users want to pass the
CAN message with ID 0x4 and 0x5 in the CAN 2.0A specification. Fill
the value “4”in the “from”field of CAN 2.0A, and the value “5”in the “to”
field of CAN 2.0A. For How to use Reg(Hex) filed, refer to section 3.4.

I-2533 User Manual (ver. 1.1, 2013/05/31) ------19
Step4: Click “Add”button to add this configuration. The configuration is shown
on the “Pass List”field. If the “Pass List”is not empty, only the
messages matched with the “Pass List”will be passed. If the “Pass List”
filed is empty, it means all-pass. If users want to pass the message with
ID 0x0 in the CAN 2.0A specification, fill the value “0”in both of “from”
and “to”field and click “Add”button.
Step5:.The method of configuring the message filter of the CAN 2.0B
messages is similar with the configuration steps of the message filter of
the CAN 2.0A messages. After finishing all of the configurations, click
“Save all configuration”to store the configuration in the I-2533.

I-2533 User Manual (ver. 1.1, 2013/05/31) ------20
Step6: When the procedure is successful, the following message will be
shown.
Step7: Then, Users can save the configurations in to an .ini file. Click “Save to
File”to archieve this purpose.
Step8: Of course, users can load the configurations from .ini file, and store
them into the I-2533.
Step9: If users want to recover the configurations to be default, click “Factory
Default”and “Save All Configuration”button.
