Installation
2 Installation
2.1 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.
2.2 Hardware installation
Before you plug the tinCAN161 into the PCMCIA slot, install the software driver
(see Section 2.1).
Connect the tinCAN161 to the bus interface. For this the locking mechanism of
the plug of the bus interface must be pressed (see Fig. 2-1). The plug is protected
against polarity reversal, so that incorrect connection of the bus interface to the
microcontroller hardware is not possible.
press together
Fig. 2-1 Locking mechanism of the plug
Caution: Windows NT is not hot-plug-compatible. Under Windows NT the com-
puter must be switched off when you plug in the card.

Configuration
3 Configuration
3.1 Memory range/Interrupt
The tinCAN161 is fully configured by the driver using the data in the Card Infor-
mation Structure (CIS). For operation with IXXAT software, no user interventions
are necessary.
3.2 CAN bus interface
The bus interface of the tinCAN161 is housed in a separate housing (see also
Fig. 1-1). The two CAN lines bus interfaces are galvanically isolated from each
other and from the PC. CAN line 1 can be switched between high speed (ISO
11898-2) and low speed (ISO 11898-3) via software. CAN line 2 has a high-speed
bus interface. The mechanical connection to the CAN bus is made in each case
with a 9-pin SUB-D connector. Pin allocation for high speed is in accordance with
CiA (CAN in Automation) DS-102, low speed (only CAN1) is connected to pin 1
and pin 4 (see Table 3-1 and Table 3-2).
Due to the galvanic isolation, the GND of CAN1 and CAN2 is isolated in each case
from the rest of the circuit.
The shielded connections of CAN1 and CAN2 are connected to the PC housing.

Status LEDs
4 Status LEDs
The tinCAN161 bus interface has three two-color status LEDs. Depending on the
operating mode of the tinCAN161, the LEDs behave as follows.
4.1 Bootloader
After plugging in the PCMCIA card, the bootloader of the tinCAN161 is active. In
this case the three LEDs flash green with a frequency of approx. 2 Hz.
4.2 Standard mode (with IXXAT VCI driver)
4.2.1 CAN1 / CAN2 LED
The LED CAN1 and CAN2 are lit green every time a message is received or trans-
mitted without errors. When the CAN error warning level is reached, the corre-
sponding LED is let red during reception or transmission. In the ’CAN BUS OFF’
state, communication is no longer possible and the LED is permanently lit red.
4.2.2 Low speed LED
The low speed LED is lit green when the low speed transceiver is activated on
CAN1. The LED switches to red when the low speed transceiver detects a bus er-
ror. Communication may still be possible if the automatic bus error management
can compensate for the bus error.
