• CAN@net NT 200: 2 x CAN connections (terminal adapters)
• CAN@net NT 420: 4 x CAN connections (terminal adapters), via the CAN-Gateway Configurator two connections can be switched between Classic CAN and CAN FD
• 1 x RJ45 Ethernet port, 10/100 Mbit/s
• 1 x mini USB 2.0 port, high-speed
• CAN/CAN FD according to ISO 11898-1:2015
• CAN high speed according to ISO 11898-2:2016
• configuration via USB or Ethernet
• platform-independent due to ASCII protocol
• With the CAN-Gateway Configurator a configuration can be created, modified, written to and read from the target device via USB or Ethernet connection.

The configuration of the following features are described in detail in the User Manual CAN- Gateway Configurator CANbridge NT & CAN@net NT 100/200/420:

• Classic CAN/CAN FD ID filtering (mapping)
• Classic CAN to CAN FD mapping and CAN FD to Classic CAN mapping (with NT 420)
• J1939 mapping
• cyclic transmission of CAN messages
• MQTT and syslog functionality
• command line program CANGWfile (available for Windows and Linux)
• action rules via if-this-action-then-that-event functionality
• remote access via ASCII protocol

Default Configuration

By default the CAN@net NT is configured as VCI interface and can be used as PC interface with Windows.

Operational Modes

ASCII Gateway Mode

In the Gateway mode, the CAN@net NT is directly hooked to the local intranet or internet (firewall needed). This allows a TCP/UDP host within the reach of this intranet or internet to connect to the CAN@net NT and gain control of the CAN system. The Ethernet network can exchange commands and CAN messages using the ASCII protocol. The CAN@net NT relays the commands and messages to the CAN bus and vice versa..

For information about the communication in Gateway mode and commands that are used to exchange CAN messages see Software Design Guide CAN@net NT 100/200/420 Generic Protocol for Gateway Mode on CAN@net NT support pages on www.ixxat.com/support-bridges-gateways

Bridge Modes

A single device can be used as Local CAN Bridge, which allows to map individual messages from and to each CAN port of the device. The CAN-Ethernet- CAN Bridge mode allows to connect CAN systems over an Ethernet TCP/IP network, for example the local intranet or the internet (firewall needed). Minimum two devices are required for a CAN-Ethernet-CAN Bridge. One must be configured as master and one as slave. For detailed descriptions of the features in the different modes (e.g. MQTT, Action Rules, cyclic transmission) and information about the configuration see User Manual CAN-Gateway Configurator CANbridge NT & CAN@net NT 100/200/420 on the support pages on www.ixxat.com/support- bridges-gateways.

Possible Bridge Modes with CAN@net NT 100:

• Local CAN Bridge
• CAN-Ethernet-CAN Bridge with 2 devices

Possible Bridge Modes with CAN@net NT 200:

• Local CAN Bridge
• CAN-Ethernet-CAN Bridge with 2 devices

Possible Bridge Modes with CAN@net NT 420:

• Local CAN Bridge
• CAN-Ethernet-CAN Bridge with 2 devices
• CAN-Ethernet-CAN Bridge with 3 devices
• CAN-Ethernet-CAN Bridge with 4 devices

VCI Interface Mode

IMPORTANT

The VCI interface mode is only possible via Ethernet.

With the VCI driver the CAN@net NT can be used as a PC interface with Windows. All VCI-based Ixxat tools as well as customer-specific applications based on the VCI driver can be used. The VCI driver offers the possibility to communicate with up to 128 CAN@net NT devices via LAN or internet. The CAN@net NT 420 additionally is capable of CAN FD. For information about the communication in the VCI mode and commands that are used to exchange CAN messages see Software Design Guides in the VCI download package (available on the product support pages on www.ixxat.com/support-bridges- gateways).

ECI Interface Mode

IMPORTANT

The ECI interface mode is only possible via Ethernet.

With the ECI driver the CAN@net NT can be used as a PC interface with Linux. All ECI-based Ixxat tools, as well as customer-specific applications based on the ECI driver, can be used. The ECI driver offers the possibility to communicate with up to 32 CAN@net NT devices via LAN or internet. The CAN@net NT 420 additionally is capable of CAN FD. For information about the communication in the ECI mode and commands that are used to exchange CAN messages see Software Design Guides in the ECI download package (available on the product support pages on www.ixxat.com/support-bridges- gateways).
