1. Introduction
This manual introduces the user to the methods used to implement the I-
7540D module into their applications in a quick and easy way. This will only
provide with the basic instructions. For more detailed information, please
refer to the I-7540D user manual located on the ICPDAS CD-ROM or
download it from the ICPDAS web site Fieldbus_CD:\CAN\Converter\I-
7540D\ or http://www.icpdas.com/products/Remote_IO/can_bus/I-7540.htm
The goal of this manual is focused on helping users to quickly familiarize
themselves with the I-7540D module and the CAN-Ethernet communication
gateway. Here, we use two I-7540D modules (called the I-7540D_A and
the I-7540D_B) as the example will demonstrate how to use the I-7540D
modules. The architecture of this example is depicted below.
When the I-7540D receives a valid message, with the ASCII strings format from
Ethernet port, it converts this message into a CAN message and transmits it into the
CAN network. Based on the same reasoning, when a CAN message is received via the
I-7540D, the CAN message will be transferred to a message by using the ASCII strings
format through the Ethernet port.

2. Hardware Installation
Users need to make a hardware connection between the CAN devices
before the application. The details of this are illustrated below:

3. Parameters Configuration
Before starting the I-7540D gateway tests, users need to configure the
Ethernet & CAN parameters via the I-7540D Utility tool. The details of this
procedure are shown below.
Step1: The default network setting of the I-7540D is shown below.
IP: 192.168.255.1
Mask: 255.255.0.0
Gateway: 192.168.0.1
So, before communicate with the I-7540D, you must change the PC’s
local area network same as the I-7540D.

Step2: After changing the PC’s local area network setting, you must use
the I-7540D Utility to make the “IP” of these two I-7540D different to
each other. The I-7540D Utility tool is located in the
fieldbus_CD:\\can\converter\I-7540\utility folder on the companion
CD-ROM

Step4: Click the “Connect” button. If this process is successful, the
I-7540D Utility shows the I-7540D_A communication information as
below.
