Figure 2-1: Connector assignments
2.1 Connector (X1) power supply 6-32 V DC
The CANio 250 is supplied with DC voltage of 6 V –32 V The scope of supply
includes a made-up cable for power supply. The terminal assignment is given
in table 2-1.
The type of connector is: Binder cable socket 99-0976-100-03
The CANio 250 is protected against reverse polarity, undervoltage and over-
voltage. It is switched off in the case of reverse polarity or undervoltage. The
CANio survives overvoltage up to 60 V and load dump undamaged. In the
event of voltages above this, an internal fuse may be tripped. If the internal
fuse is tripped, the CANio 250 is no longer operational and must be returned to
for repair.
The additional digital input is also connected on this connector.

CANio 250 Quickstart Manual, version 1.2
3 LED displays
The CANio 250 has four two-colored LEDs (see Figure 2-1). The LEDs react
as follows according to the operating mode of the CANio 250.
3.1 PWR - LED
The Power-LED (PWR) is lit green when the CANio 250 is connected to the
power supply. The Power-LED (PWR) is lit red when the power supply is con-
nected with reverse polarity.
3.2 CAN - LED
The CAN-LED displays the status of the CANopen State Machine (green) and
the error status. In the 'CAN BUS OFF' status, no more communication is pos-
sible and the CAN - LED is permanently lit red.
3.3 USR 1/2 - LED
The User-LEDs (USR 1/2-LED) which can be freely programmed by the user,
can be switched via CAN messages. More information is given in chapters
5.1.4.
4 Description of functions
4.1 Introduction
The CANio 250 allows monitoring or setting of digital signals via a CAN net-
work.
4.2 Galvanic isolation
In the case of galvanic isolation, the ground of CAN (GND_CAN) is isolated
from the rest of the circuit.
The ground of the power supply [GND (-)] and of the digital and analog inter-
faces are connected to each other.
4.3 Digital outputs
In total, the CANio 250 supports up to 16, 5V CMOS compatible, digital in-
/outputs. The digital outputs can be switched or monitored with CAN messag-
es. More information is given in chapters 5.1.4.
The in-/output function can be selected in groups of 8. In this way, maximum
16 inputs, 16 outputs or 8 in-/outputs can be supported by the device.

Description of functions
9
CANio 250 Quickstart Manual, version 1.2
The load at the digital outputs should not exceed 30mA. By a internal series
resistor it is secured, that the device will not be damaged in case of a over-
load. However, the maximum presentable output voltage is reduced in that
case. The in-/outputs are not protected against reverse polarity.
4.4 Additional digital input on connector (X1)
The additional digital input on the power supply connector (X1) has a fixed
threshold of approx. 7 V and can be used, for example, in the automotive sec-
tor for the monitoring of terminal 15.
4.5 Power supply PWR(+)
The power supply PWR(+) is monitored and measured with an additional ana-
log channel. The input voltage range is between 6 and 32 V.
The voltage on the input can be calculated from the AD value as follows:
UIN = AD value / 4095 * 3.30 * 10 [V]
Simplified:
UIN = AD value * 8.0586 [mV]

Software

CANio 250 Quickstart Manual, version 1.2
5 Software
CANio 250 can be operated as a simple CAN module as well as a CANopen
slave.
The CANio 250 is delivered with a standard configuration. The following chap-
ters do refer to this standard configuration. Anyhow it is possible, to configure
the device for the personal, specific requirements. Beside others, configurable
are:
Baudrate
Node number, Message-IDs
Cycle time of the messages
Debounce time
Behavior of the digital inputs (default value, edge triggering)
The configuration possibilities are versatile. Details are described in the CANio
250 manual which can be downloaded from www.ixxat.com.
Dependent on the use case, the various configuration possibilities can be
achieved as described below:
Via the comfortable CANio 250 configuration tool which can be down-
loaded from www.ixxat.com.
In pure CAN networks with the message sequences described in the
CANio 250 manual
In CANopen networks by the corresponding LSS services or objects
(see CANio 250 manual)
Should the desired functionality not be reached by the described configuration
possibilities, the “Application Development Kit (ADK)” to be purchased at HMS
can be used to design a specific application which can be executed on the
CANio 250.
