5.2.1. Connecting an external antenna

The device (model variant 3002) features an RP-SMA antenna connector for connection of the RF antenna Bluetooth/WLAN antenna (part number 157000085).

TIP You can request more information about other permitted RF antennas using the Proemion support form at Support.

DANGER

Danger of explosion due to the operation of electrical equipment in potentially explosive atmospheres.
Severe injury or death.
- Observe the applicable regulations and precautions for potentially explosive areas.
- Do not mount the antenna in the close proximity of easily ignited substances (e.g. fuel tanks) and insufficiently shielded electronic devices.

CAUTION

Health hazards of radio-frequency energy
Slight or medium injury.
- Make sure the device is switched off during installation.

NOTICE

Property damage
The device or antenna can be damaged.
- Do not shorten or lengthen antenna cables.

NOTICE

Reduced antenna gain
Problems with the wireless connectivity can be caused by an insufficient antenna setup.
- Only use the antennas which are supplied as Proemion accessories.
- Change the mounting position of the CANlink® wireless 3000 to reduce the distance between antenna and the device.
- Do not extend the antenna cable. Order an alternative antenna with longer antenna cable.
- Keep the length of the antenna cable as short as possible.
- In case of using the antennas which are supplied with the hardware kit or as Proemion accessories: Ensure that the minimum bending radius of the antenna cables is 8 times the outer diameter.

  1. Connect the RF antenna to the RP-SMA connector of the device (model variant 3002).

Install Antenna
Figure 13. Connecting the RF antenna to the CANlink wireless 3002

NOTICE

Loss of FCC certification possible.
- Only use antennas which are approved for the frequency range used.
- Only use antennas which do not cancel the WLAN or the Bluetooth qualification.
- Keep the end of the antenna away from metal components to avoid detuning.


5.2.2. CAN

Connect the device interfaces to the CAN bus whose data you want to log or send. For test purposes, connect the device to a PC using a communication gateway (e.g. PCAN-USB - CAN/USB Interface).

The CAN connection terminal CAN-High and CAN-Low signals must match the signals of the connector on the device. You can connect Ground of the supply connector with CAN-GND because there is no galvanic isolation.

The following table provides an overview of the CAN bit rates in relation to the bus length:

5.2.3. CAN bus termination

In any bus system, signal reflections at the end of a wire or cable can cause interference which can in turn cause transmission errors. To minimize these reflections, place a terminator at each end of transmission lines. The terminating resistance between CAN-High and CAN-Low must match the characteristic impedance of the transmission cables. In CAN bus networks, normally unshielded, twisted cable pairs are used for signal transmission. The characteristic impedance of the transmission lines is roughly 120 Ω. The terminator between CAN-High and CAN-Low must be 120 Ohm.


5.2.4. Power supply

The device is supplied with power via the CAN connector.

INFORMATION

For tests, firmware and configuration updates in the laboratory setup, the power supply and cables from the starter kit must be used. See chapter Starter Kits.

5.3.7. CAN – CAN Bridge Multipoint Bluetooth Classic

In the following configuration example, a multipoint configuration in Bluetooth mode is shown.

INFORMATION

A similar setup can be also realized in WLAN access point or WLAN infrastructure mode.

The configuration results in a star topology with the SPP/TCP Server as star-point.

INFORMATION

Due to the change to a multi-peer operating mode, the message throughput of a device configured for multipoint connection is significantly lower than for a device configured for just one P2P connection. This is independent of the actual number of peers that are connected.

5.4. Hardware installation

This chapter provides important notes regarding the hardware setup.

NOTICE

Risk of property damage.
- Fasten the cable harness with a suitable strain relief near the CAN / power connector to avoid the transmission of any tension, strains, or vibrations.
- Ensure that there is minimum bending radius of 8 time the outer diameter of the cable harness

NOTICE

Inadequate radio connection
The radio connection is affected by any obstacles and interference.
- Choose the mounting location so that as few obstructions as possible can influence the radio connection.
- When installing, observe the required minimum distance to other antennas and radio devices.
- Avoid interference with other wireless networks.
- Do not stick additional labels on the device. Depending on the nature of the material, these stickers can severely impair the signal quality. Relevant for CANlink wireless 3001 with internal antenna.
- The integrator must not modify the device (i.e. place RF-damping labels on it) or mount the device in such a way, that antenna performance is influenced.
- Implement a control-side end-to-end connection monitoring

It is the full responsibility of the integrator, to integrate the device in his application in such a way, that an adequate antenna performance is achieved, and the regulatory requirements are fulfilled.

INFORMATION

Please be aware that the measured performance values from chapter Interfaces were determined in the free field without significant interference or signal dampening.
The maximum range, latency and the possible message throughput may vary considerably depending on the environmental influences, setup condition, the used antennas and, if applicable, the hardware installed for the WLAN infrastructure.
Please consider these values just as approximate reference values which can be achieved in a specific test setup under ideal conditions.

It is the system integrators responsibility to verify the connection stability and performance under real ambient conditions as part of the final application and setup.

5.4.1. Mounting the Device

Below you will find instructions on how to mount the device.

Directly affix the device with two socket head bolts of type M4 with hexagon socket/ DIN 912 - ISO 4762 which are at least 25 mm long. Tighten the bolts with a torque of M = 0.9 … 1.1 Nm. In order to secure the bolts, we recommend using two washers of the type Tooth lock washer for M4 according to DIN 6797 - external teeth.

5.4.2. Internal Antenna

The internal antenna of the CANlink wireless variant 3001 is located on the top side of the main PCB, therefore it is recommended to mount the device in such a way that the top side also has the best possible alignment and free sight to its peer. Please refer to figure Antenna positioning.

When using a setup with external antennas, it is also mandatory that the antennas have free sight to each other and are not blocked by any housing materials or other signal dampening materials.

NOTICE

Reduced antenna gain
Problems with the radio connection can be caused by insufficient antenna alignment, interferences, and RF-damping labels.
- Do not stick RF-damping labels onto the housing of the device

5.4.3. External Antenna

Below you will find some important notes regarding the antenna setup.

NOTICE

Inadequate radio connection
The radio connection is affected by any obstacles and interference.
- The antenna cable should be as short as possible to keep signal loss on the cable as low as possible.
- Do not extend the antenna cable. Only use the antennas which are supplied as accessories by Proemion. Bring the radio module closer to the antenna or order an alternative antenna with a longer antenna cable.
- An antenna, particularly outside, should be positioned as high as possible. This allows you to improve the range. This keeps the Fresnel zone clear – the higher, the better.
- Always protect connections on the outside cables, junctions, and antennas with protective tape.
- The external antenna is not to be used as lightning arrester. Select the position of the antenna carefully, use surge protector and do not route the antenna cable parallel to a lightning arrester.
- In the case of insufficient stability of the mounting, the quality of your antenna alignment can be reduced. When mounting the antenna, also think about wind and other outside influences such as ice and snow.
- Install the antenna in an open area, as far away as possible from any obstacles such as buildings, trees, other antennas, or metal objects.
- In case that there is a second antenna installed, calculate the minimum distance. The horizontal distance between antennas should be greater than 1/4 of its wavelength (absolute minimum separation), but it should not be located at the exact multiples of its wavelength (maybe avoid the first 3-4 multiples).
- Establish a sufficient ground connection to the pole, the device, the antenna and surge protection.
- In case of using the antenna supplied in the hardware kit: Ensure that the minimum bending radius of the antenna cables is 8 times the outer diameter.

6.2. CAN functions

This chapter provides information on how to use and configure CAN functions.

6.2.1. CAN / CANopen

The CANlink wireless supports the transmission of pure CAN messages to another device. No direct protocol interpretation is configured in the firmware. This makes it possible to use the device for different applications with various CAN transport protocols. The protocol logic must be implemented in the other device (e.g. in the PC software, for example CANopen Magic).


6.2.2. Enabling the CANopen Stack

The CANopen stack prevents the transmission of some CAN messages such as CANopen RX SDOs, TX SDOs, and emergency messages. These messages are received by the device’s CANopen stack and processed to the radio Interface without being forwarded on. It is possible to configure the device for connection control via CANopen. In that case, the device does not transmit messages with certain CAN identifiers. The following table shows messages that are used by the device but not transmitted when the CANopen stack is enabled.

Table 72. CANopen Stack
Type CAN Identifier Default configuration (Node ID 33)

TX SDO 1

0x580 + Node ID

0x5A1

RX SDO 1

0x621

Heartbeat/Boot-Up

0x700 + Node ID

0x721

0x000

To enable the CANopen stack, the Advanced Settings must be activated within the CANlink® wireless 3000 Configurator first. Refer to Enable Advanced Settings.

In the CANopen field of the Device tab enable the checkbox CANopen communication during active wireless connection.

CANlink wireless Configurator CANopen Stack
Figure 23. Enable the CANopen Stack

INFORMATION

The corresponding CAN identifiers for the specific CANopen node ID are calculated and displayed within the CANopen field.


6.2.3. Boot-Up message

Directly after startup, the device optionally transmits a CANopen boot-up message with its own node ID.

To enable the Boot-Up message, the Advanced Settings must be activated within the CANlink® wireless 3000 Configurator first. Refer to Enable Advanced Settings.

In the CANopen field of the Device tab enable the checkbox Enable boot-up message.

CANlink wireless Configurator   enable boot up message
Figure 24. Enable Boot-Up Message

INFORMATION

When this function is enabled, the device expects an acknowledge message from another bus participant. If no acknowledge message is received, for instance while no other CAN bus participant is active, the LED changes to error mode (constant red).


6.2.4. Filter received CAN messages

The device offers the option of configuring message filters. This allows you to reduce the transmission load and ensure that the CAN bus only transmits certain CAN messages.
In the CAN Receive tab of the CANlink® wireless 3000 Configurator you can set filter masks and activate or deactivate individual bits for the comparison function of online CAN objects. You can individually filter up to 8 separate CAN identifiers with unique online CAN objects and downsample them if necessary.
A CAN message that does not match the receive filter of an online CAN object is passed on to the next active online CAN object and checked again. If the number of CAN identifiers to be filtered is less than eight, you can assign a unique CAN identifier to each online CAN object. Use the filter mask 0x7FF for 11-bit or 0x1FFFFFFF for 29-bit CAN identifiers to filter individual CAN identifiers separately.
Some examples are described in more detail below.

INFORMATION

To check if a CAN identifier transmits a certain filter mask, perform the following logical operations bit by bit:
CAN identifier received XOR configured CAN identifier = CAN_ID
CAN_ID AND filter mask = 0
The CAN message is rejected if the result is not 0.


Example 1:
0x123 XOR 0x621 = 0x702
0x702 AND 0x0F8 = 0 → CAN message accepted

Example 2:
0x123 XOR 0x631 = 0x721
0x721 AND 0x0F8 = 0x010 → CAN message rejected

TIP

Use DOWNSAMPLING to reduce the number of messages to be transmitted by the radio Interface. The configured value (e.g. 20 x 10 ms for 200 ms) delays the reception or transmission of CAN messages accordingly. A value of 0 x 10 ms disables the delay.

To prevent data loss, only use DOWNSAMPLING with filters for individual CAN identifiers!

Filter Calculation Example 1:

CAN messages with a CAN identifier 0x123 are received. CAN messages with a different CAN identifier are filtered out and forwarded to the next online CAN object.

CAN messages from CAN bus

001 0010 0011

Filter Calculation Example 2:

CAN messages with the CAN identifiers 0x123, 0x124, and 0x125 are transmitted. The required filter mask must be determined using an XNOR gate. Other CAN messages that comply with the filter mask (e.g. 0x120, 0x121, 0x122, etc.) are also received. CAN messages with other CAN identifiers are forwarded to the next online CAN object.
