Ixxat CANnector Range/Bridge

Preconfigured range operations

• Bridging of all 6 CAN channels via Ethernet (2 devices requires – master/slave)
• Supported CAN baudrate 250 Kbit/s
• 4 configurations supporting CAN baudrates up to 1000 kbit/s
• Permanent data transmission without trigger or filtering

Advanved features via user configuration (using ACT)

• Range extension for CAN, CAN FD and LIN data
• Signal based operation (based on imported bus description files)
• Forwarding individual messages and/or signals
• Modification of message ID and content
• Data manipulation via own C-Usercode or MATLAB/Simulink models
• Possibility to create own Messages based on signals from every CAN bus
• Export of CANdB’s in case of the creation of own messages
• Low power sleep mode and switch-on on CAN(FD)
• Parallel data storage on USB memory, PC or cloud
• Remote device management (OPC UA, HMS-HUB)
• LAN/USB/WLAN (optional WLAN module required) access for signal visualization/stimulation

CANnector Range and CANnector Bridge are preconfigured and can be used directly without further configuration. However, for customers which require specific functionality – e.g. with message filtering or signal based operation, HMS provides easy to use tools to use the bride or range extender “your” way.

Dashboard
With the dashboard, that is accessible with a standard web browser via Ethernet, USB or WLAN (WiFi), the CANnector Range/Bridge and the connected bus systems can be monitored, the different basic configurations can be selected, started and stopped on the device and live data can be visualized.

ACT Tool
ACT is Windows based and allows the easy creation of configurations with or without bus description files via drag and drop. The ACT tool provides further configuration possibilities (e.g. changing message content or signal values).

IxAdmin
IxAdmin is included in the ACT tool. With IxAdmin the different basic configurations can be selected, started, stopped and downloaded to the device. Changing baud rate settings is also possible.
