Available Model and Types

The available Types differ only in the external antenna connector:

• Type 4001 has an internal antenna
• Type 4003 has a connector for an external antenna

With either device, you can transmit and receive CAN data via a Wi-Fi; Bluetooth, or BLE connection.

There are also two major roles the CANlink® wireless 4000 can be configured in:

• CAN-Wireless Interface:
  The CAN-Wireless Interface transmits CAN data to other Wi-Fi or Bluetooth-capable devices on which CAN data is logged and evaluated.

• CAN-CAN Bridge:
  The CAN-CAN Bridge replaces a CAN cable and transmits the CAN data between two CANlink wireless devices.

Note

You can find the Wi-Fi standards and Bluetooth profiles supported in chapter Interfaces.

Pre-configured Bluetooth Bridge Sets

There are two bridge sets available.

Both sets are composed of two devices pre-configured as a Bluetooth point-to-point bridge, with the devices marked as Client and Server.

By default:

• the CAN baud rate is 250 kBit/s
• the CANopen stack is enabled during connection
• there is a randomly assigned 15 byte Bluetooth PIN
• the receive objects are configured to forward all 11- and 29-bit ID CAN messages except the corresponding COB ID of the SDO Server.

The sets differ only in that one is the type 4001 with internal antenna, and the other is the type 4003, with external antenna.
