1 Introduction
By purchasing the IXXAT USB-to-CANV2 Plugin interface, you decided for a
high-quality electronic component developed and manufactured according to
the latest technological standards.
In the further description these interfaces are referred as CAN interface.
The features of the CAN interfaces are described below.
Common features
All CAN interfaces have the following features:
USB 2.0 Hi-Speed (480MBit/s)
Ceonnection using single row female header (Field bus- and USB)
Same dimensions and fastening possibilities
Type dependend features
Depending on the used CAN interface different field busses and features are
supported.

2 Installation
2.1 Softwareinstallation
To operate the interface a driver has to be installed first. For Windows this
driver is part of the VCI (Virtual CAN Interface) V3, which can be downloaded
for free on the IXXAT webpage http://www.ixxat.com.
For installation of the VCI V3 driver on Windows computers, please refer to the
VCI installation manual.
IXXAT also offers the ECI driver for Linux and real-time operating systems for
many CAN interfaces. Information on supported operating systems and inter-
faces is available on the IXXAT webpage http://www.ixxat.com.
2.2 Hardwareinstallation
Before installing the CAN interface onto your PC, you should install the soft-
ware driver first (see previous section).
For all work on the PC and interface, you must be statically discharged. Work
must be carried out on an earthed, anti-static work mat.
Take the following steps in sequence:
(1) Switch off the PC and unplug the power cord.
(2) Open the PC according to the instructions of the PC manufacturer
and find a suitable slot. Please note the polarity and the occupancy of the
pin connector in your PC. Do not use force when plugging in.
(3) Make sure that the interface sits tightly in the PC.
(4) Close the PC; the hardware installation is now complete.

3.1.1 USB connector
The shield (pin 5) of the USB cable is connected to ground (GND) using a
100nF capacitor and therefore also connected to ground of the USB plug.
It is recommended, that the interface is directly connected to PC USB ports or
to self powered USB hubs to ensure sufficient power supply.

3.1.2 Field bus connectors
If you are using a not galvanic isolated CAN interface, field bus ground (CAN
GND) and USB ground (GND) have the same potential.
Using a CAN interface with galvanic isolation, these grounds are separated.
Please be care, that in this case the grounds of the field busses (CAN1 / CAN
2 / LIN) have no galvanic isolation among each other.
For best noise immunity, the shields of the CAN cables must directly connect-
ed to ground.
Pinning of the single row female headers for field bus connections are listed
below (see also Figure 3-1).

5 Notes
5.1 CAN Busabschluss
There is no bus termination resistor for the CAN bus in the CAN interface inte-
grated. IXXAT offers a bus termination resistor as a feed through connector as
accessory (order number 1.04.0075.03000)
Figure 5-1: CAN bus termination resistor 1.04.0075.03000
5.2 LIN interface
A LIN interface is only available on model 1.01.0288.22043.
The LIN interface can be configured as LIN Master according to LIN specifica-
tion. If the CAN interface is used as a LIN-Master, a voltage of 12 V DC (volt-
age range 8 - 18 V DC) has to be connected to pin VBATLIN, see Table 3-2.
Power consumption is limited by a 1 kΩ resistor.

Class B digital device –Instructions
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 interfer-
ence in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in ac-
cordance 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 does cause harm-
ful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined
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 separation between the equipment andthe receiver.
Connect the equipment into 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.

Changes and Modifications not expressly approved by the manufac-
turer or registrant of this equipment can void your authority to operate
this equipment under FCC rules.
In order to maintain compliance with FCC regulations shielded cables must be
used with this equipment. Operation with non-approved equipment or un-
shielded cables is likely to result in interference to radio & television reception.
6.5 Information on EMC
The product is a class B device. If the product is used in office or home envi-
ronment radio interference can occur under certain conditions. To ensure fault-
less operation of the device, the following instructions must be followed due to
technical requirements of EMC:
use only the included accessories
the shield of the interfaces must be connected with the device plug
and with the plug on the other side
6.6 EC Declaration of Conformity
EMC compliance testing has been conducted to the Electromagnetic Compati-
bility Directive 2004/108/EC. For more information please consult the EMC
compliance document on the support pages on IXXAT website..
