1Introduction
Overview
Congratulations on your purchase of the IXXAT Bluetooth CAN interface CAN-
blue, a high quality electronic component developed and manufactured accord-
ing to the latest technological standards.
This manual is intended to familiarize you with your interface, also referred to in
the following as CANblue. Please read this manual before beginning with the in-
stallation.
The CANblue is particularly suitable for wireless diagnosis and parameterization of
CAN networked applications. Due to the maximum transfer rate of 700 kBit that
can be achieved with Bluetooth, the Bluetooth device CANblue is not recom-
mended for wideband CAN network analysis.
Features
•Bluetooth specification V 2.0
•Supply voltage 9 - 30 V DC
•Microcontroller Infineon C161, 36 MHz
•One CAN line with Phillips SJA1000 controller, 16 MHz
•Bus interface in accordance with ISO 11898-2. The CAN channel can be
switched to low speed ISO11898-3 with software.

2Installation
Software installation
A driver is required in order to operate the interface.
For the installation of the CAN driver VCI under Windows, please refer to the VCI-
installation manual.
Hardware installation
In order to operate the CANblue, a Bluetooth interface is required on the PC in
accordance with the Bluetooth specification V 2.0. The device is recognized as a
network adapter and activated via a so-called RF-COM port in the PC.
A suitable antenna must be attached in order to operate the device. Screw the
antenna supplied with the device onto the antenna connection.
Information on compatible Bluetooth products is given in the Support section on
our website (http://www.ixxat.de).
Before the CANblue can be accessed via the VCI drivers, a Bluetooth connection
must first be established.

CAN bus termination
There is no bus termination resistor for the CAN bus fitted on the CANblue. For
simple integration of the bus termination resistor in accordance with ISO 11898-
2, IXXAT offers an appropriate feed-through connector with integrated bus ter-
mination.

FCC Compliance
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
NOTE:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential instal-
lation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy
and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee
that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment
causes harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be deter-
mined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to cor-
rect the interference by one or more of the following measures:
•Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
•Increase the distance between the equipment and receiver
•Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected
•Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help
FCC ID: PVH090202L
IC Compliance
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not
cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference re-
ceived, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This device has been designed to operate with an antenna having a maximum
gain of 8dBi.
Having a higher gain is strictly prohibited per regulations of Industry Canada. The
required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its
gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is
not more than that required for successful communication.
The installer of this radio equipment must ensure that the antenna is located or
pointed such that it does not emit RF field in excess of Health Canada limits for

Notes on EMC
The PC/CAN interface CANblue may only be installed in a PC with a CE symbol.
The CAN bus connected to the interface must have a shielded cable and the
braiding is to be connected to the connector housing using the largest possible
surface area.
