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.
