Product Description 4 6 (24) Product Description The CANbridge NT is a universal, intelligent CAN topology component, that allows the coupling of several CAN networks with different baud rates or frame formats in the operational modes Repeater/Star Coupler and Bridge. The CANbridge NT 420 additionally is capable of CAN FD. CAN messages are received by one network and transmitted in the other network, according to filter and implementation rules.
Installation 7 (24) 5 Installation 5.1 Installing the Software 5.1.1 Installing the Driver For the operation of the CAN-Gateway Configurator a VCI driver is needed. The VCI driver is constantly improved and expanded! Check if a newer version is available within the support area on www.ixxat.com. ► 5.1.2 Install the VCI driver (see Installation Guide VCI Driver).
Installation 8 (24) ► Make sure, that the cross-sectional area of the cable is equal to or larger than 0.14 mm2 resp. AWG 25. ► To remove the connector use screwdriver or similar tool. ► Connect the cables. ► Plug the connector into the housing. The shield of the CAN connector is connected to the device ground and the PE on the back of the device (DIN rail) via a 1 MΩ resistor and a 10 nF capacitor. To achieve the highest interference immunity, ground the shield of the CAN cable. 5.2.
Installation 9 (24) If a D-Sub 9 connector is used, observe the following pin allocation of the D-Sub 9 connector: Pin no. Signal — 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 CAN low CAN GND — Shield — CAN high — — 8 9 5.3 Checking and Updating the Firmware 5.3.1 Checking the Device Firmware ► Make sure, that the latest VCI driver is installed. ► Make sure, that the device is correctly connected to the host computer and to power supply.

Configuration 6.3 13 (24) Repeater/Star Coupler Configuration The CANbridge NT 200 can be configured as Repeater and the CANbridge NT 420 as Star Coupler. In the Repeater/Star Coupler mode all messages are transmitted unchanged to the other ports in Classic CAN mode. Filters, CAN-ID modifications and CAN-FD mode are not possible. 2 3 5 4 1 Fig.
Configuration 6.4 14 (24) Bridge Configuration By using the mapping table and the multiplexing table the Bridge mode allows free configuration of the transmission of CAN messages. With the CANbridge NT 420 bridging between Classic CAN and CAN FD is possible. 2 3 4 5 1 Fig. 7 Bridge configuration ► Make sure, that the basic configuration is set and that the correct device type and version are selected (see Basic Configuration, p. 11). ► Make sure, that operational mode Bridge (2) is selected.
