GENERAL FEATURES
CAN-IO is a control unit, integrated on European Card Format (160 x 100 mm – 6.30 x 3.94
inches) equipped with CAN, USB and RS232 interfaces.
The card can work as stand-alone device on CAN BUS. Its configuration is achieved either
through USB (in this case the board is self-powered) or through RS232 interface.
CAN-IO can manage sixteen optocoupled inputs and sixteen optocoupled outputs which are
reciprocally isolated in two groups of eight.
A driver to for USB is provided with the card. Besides, a configuration software is also provided with: this software allows
to control the board either through USB and RS232 and allows to configure CAN working parameters (such as baudrate,
frame format, filters on ID messages, etc...).

CARD DESCRIPTION
Connections
In Picture 1 are shown CAN-IO connections.
Picture 1: CAN-IO board connections
USB USB slot.
By USB connection the CAN-IO card is powered on and linked to the computer.
To communicate with the PC in USB mode, J2 jumper MUST NOT be inserted.
If the board is powered by USB and J2 jumper is inserted, CAN-IO works in stand-alone mode.
In case of USB power supply DO NOT USE the VUSB connector to power supply the board.
In this mode, VSUB connector can only be used as +5Vdc
output to power supply external devices.
VUSB Auxiliary power supply connector.
In case of USB power supply, VUSB connector can only be used as +5Vdc output to power supply
external devices.
If the card is linked to the computer through RS232, VUSB connector must be used to power the board
with +5Vdc.
In this mode, J2 jumper must be inserted and the board can be used in stand-alone mode too.
In case of VUSB power supply DO NOT USE the USB connector to power supply the board.

Inputs and outputs
In Picture 3 are shown the digital inputs and outputs.
Picture 3: CAN-IO card, inputs and outputs
Output
The sixteen outputs are completely isolated both between them in two groups of eight and with other signals on the device.
Here below there are the diagrams of two typical connections of external device to CAN-IO card: in the first case, the card
will manage directly some loads (with maximal current of 150mA). In the second case, the card is connected to a high
impedance device (i. e. the inputs of a PLC).

Input
The sixteen inputs are completely isolated both between them in two groups of eight and toward other signals on the
device.
We suggest to connect inputs following one of the two diagrams displayed below:
-picture 3a: in case inputs have to detect the pression of a switch or an open collector output.
-picture 3b: in case inputs are directly controlled by a voltage.

BOARD POWER SUPPLY AND CONNECTION
CAN-IO board can work in three modes:
USB
RS232
STAND ALONE
USB mode
Board can be powered and linked to computer by USB connector (Picture 1 at page 8).
In USB mode the CAN LOG board is powered by USB connector.
DO NOT POWER the board by VUSB connector.
ATTENTION: IN ORDER TO PRECLUDE MALFUNCTIONING OR DAMAGE DO NOT CONNECT EXTERNAL
POWER SUPPLY AND USB AT THE SAME TIME
During the USB connection it is possible to use VUSB connector to power supply external devices with +5Vdc as auxiliary
output electric voltage.
To link and operate the board you have to install USB driver (see DRIVER INSTALLATION at page 19).

RS232 mode
CAN LOG board can be connected by RS232 interface.
To allow the RS232 link you have to connect the RS232 cable (male connector) to the board’s RS232 connector (see
page 9 for pinout).
You must supply the board with +5Vdc using VUSB connector or using USB connector.
ATTENTION: IN ORDER TO PRECLUDE MALFUNCTIONING OR DAMAGE DO NOT CONNECT EXTERNAL
POWER SUPPLY AND USB AT THE SAME TIME
When the board is supplied by USB connector, it is possible to use VSUB connector as auxiliary output to power external
devices with +5Vdc electric voltage.
To link the board and the computer using RS232, J2 jumper must be inserted (Page 10).

Stand-alone mode
In the stand-alone mode you can control board inputs and outputs using CAN messages.
After configured the CAN BUS using software (page 26) and inserted J2 jumper (page 10) to operate in stand-alone mode,
you need to power on the CAN-IO board by VUSB connector with a voltage of 5Vdc, or by USB connector.
ATTENTION: IN ORDER TO PRECLUDE MALFUNCTIONING OR DAMAGE DO NOT CONNECT EXTERNAL
POWER SUPPLY AND USB AT THE SAME TIME
When the board is supplied by USB connector, it is possible to use VSUB connector as auxiliary output to power external
devices with +5Vdc electric voltage.

Automatic Windows Update procedure
1) Connect the CAN-IO to PC using a USB cable. Windows operating system will detect a new device, showing a
message similar to:
2) In the following windows “found new hardware wizard” chose “Yes, this time only” and then “Next”.
3) Then choose “install the software automatically (Recommended)”
and then “Next”. Wait for downloading of the driver and its installation.
