Chapter 1. Description

The AnaGate CAN Gateway connects a PC, an embedded PC or an other general

device to one or more CAN busses via the TCP/IP network protocol. It basically works

as a CAN master with no own CAN identifier on the bus.

For this reason the AnaGate CAN duo provides an ethernet interface and two

independent electrically isolated CAN interface.

Controlling and configuration of an AnaGate CAN Gateway is made through TCP/IP.

The application protocol itself is described in detail (see [TCP-2010]). Thus the access

to the device can be programmed via native calls to the TCP/IP socket interface. This

means that any communication partner with a LAN interface is able to communicate

to the device. Accessing the device with the supplied application libraries for Windows

and Linux is much comfortable. The libraries includes the entire range of device

functions and can be used with conventional programming languages.

In bridge mode the AnaGate CAN Gateway can interconnect two physically

independent CAN networks via LAN/Ethernet (LAN bridge mode). With the coupling

over LAN/Ethernet it is possible to connect separate CAN buses with different baud

rates over long distances.

Note

The AnaGate CAN duo, AnaGate CAN quattro, AnaGate CAN X2, AnaGate

CAN X4 and AnaGate CAN X8 can additionally interconnect two internal

CAN interfaces. The AnaGate CAN uno do not support this so called

internal bridge mode.

1.1. Features

• The AnaGate CAN duo can send and receive CAN messages via both existing

CAN interfaces independantly. This can be done using a device that supports TCP

sockets (like a personal computer or a PLC).

• Variable CAN bus speed per interface (10, 20, 50, 62.5, 100, 125, 250, 500, 800

or 1000 kbps).

• Software configurable bus termination for each CAN interface.

• Two different plugs for voltage supply.

• System is addressed using a proprietary network protocol.

• Static or dynamic assignment (DHCP) of IP address.

• 4 digital inputs and outputs, which can be accessed via LAN/Ethernet

• Several simultaneous network connections (5x TCP and 1x UPD) are supported on

each existing CAN interface.

• Coupling of two independent CAN networks via LAN/internet bridge over two

seperate devices. All devices of the AnaGate product line except the AnaGate CAN

USB support this feature.
