Description
SerCAN-ARM7 is a protocol converter between CAN and devices with RS232 interfaces. SerCAN-ARM7 allows the connection of devices with serial interfaces to CAN based systems, e.g measuring devices, barcode scanners and handheld terminals.SerCAN-ARM7 obtains its potential through the use of a 32 bit microcontroller with 48 MHz clock. High speed processing and low latencies allow the use with high data rates and busloads.
SerCAN-ARM7 covers the typical applications for protocol conversions. If SerCAN-ARM7 is used as universal CAN interface, the generation of any desired CAN message under control of the serial device is the most favorable solution. In this case, a fixed, error detecting protocol is used at the serial interface. This protocol is open documented and implemented as default firmware. Filtering of incoming CAN messages is possible and configurable by the user.
Should there be a demand to change the serial protocol, an application development kit is available, which allows the implementation of custom specific firmware.

Technical Data
Layout and Connection
The connection to the CAN bus is achieved via pluggable terminals. Besides the CAN signals the clamps also carry the supply voltage for SerCAN-ARM7.
The terminals are connected according the following table:
| Pin | Name | Function |
| 1 | +24 V | Supply voltage |
| 2, 3, 6-8 | GND | Ground |
| 4 | CAN_H | CAN data line (dominant high) |
| 5 | CAN_L | CAN data line (dominant low) |
The D-Sub9 male plug is connected according the following table:
| Pin | Name | Function |
| 2 | RxD | Receive data line |
| 3 | TxD | Transmit data line |
| 5 | GND | Ground |
| 7 | RTS | Request-to-Send control line |
| 8 | CTS | Clear-to-Send control line |
Limiting Values
| Parameter | Minimal | Maximal | Unit |
| Storage temperature | -20 | +80 | °C |
| Operating temperature | 0 | +60 | °C |
| Supply voltage | -100 | +30 | V |
| Voltage on the CAN bus connections | -30 | +30 | V |
| Admissable power consumption (at 60 °C) | n.s. | 2000 | mW |
Any (also temporary) stress in excess of the limiting values may cause permanent damage on SerCAN-ARM7 and other connected devices. Exposure to limiting conditions for extended periods may affect the reliability and shorten the life cycle of the device.
Nominal Values
| Parameter | Minimal | Typical | Maximal | Unit |
| Current consumption (running idle) | n.s. | 30 | n.s. | mA |
| Current consumption (250 kBits/s, 100 % busload) | n.s. | 40 | n.s. | mA |
| Supply voltage | 10 | 24 | 30 | V |
All values, unless otherwise specified, refer to a supply voltage of 24 V and an environmental temperature of 20 °C.
