1.1 Overview
Congratulations on your purchase of the IXXAT CANlink II, a high-quality elec-
tronic component developed and manufactured according to the latest techno-
logical standards.
This manual is intended to familiarize you with your CANlink II. Please read this
manual before initial startup.
The CANlink II enables devices with only one serial port a simple, configurable
access to CAN and CANopen networks. CANlink II provides two operation modes
for this purpose.
In the CAN operation mode (CANlink), received CAN data are transmitted trans-
parently to the RS232 interface. Data received via RS232 are mapped into CAN
telegrams and transmitted. One configurable identifier each is available for
transmission and reception.
In the CANopen operation mode (COPlink), the CANlink operates as a CANopen
node, where the serial data are stored as a byte stream object in the manufac-
turer-specific object dictionary range.
The supported CANopen features are:
• 1 server SDO expedited, non-expedited, no CRC check
• 1 TX PDO static mapping
• 1 RX PDO static mapping
• Emergency message
• Heartbeat producer
• NMT slave
The communication interfaces and operation modes are configured by means of
a configuration file, which is saved on the device via a loading program.
The CANlink II is available in two housing versions, a plastic housing for DIN rail
mounting or as a desktop device in a robust aluminum housing.
