CANister and CANister Configurator The Universal Control Panel for CAN and LIN Application Areas CANister is an all-round tool for a number of different phases in the production cycle. For controlling and testing electronic con-trol A network of vehicle electronics with CAN and LIN requires new tools for the production of automobiles. With the universal control panel CANister, Vector offers an easy-to-use tool for this purpose. units in production and in development, CANister is highly Features and Advantages CANister is a flexible and freely configurable CAN and LIN node for the production and testing environment. The hardware module is event oriented, and actions can be assigned to multiple events. The CANister is available in three variants: CANister HL (high-speed versatile and easy-to-use. In test benches, CANister’s many actua-tors and sensors have proven vital to successful projects. CANister Configurator Features CANister Configurator offers the following features: > Generation of applications with up to 16 individual configurations > Parallel processing of applications with multi-window display > Connection to CANdb/CANdb++ database > Table-driven parameterization of actions > Graphical user interfaces for LEDs, digital outputs, keys > Network management with selection of the network node to be simulated > Parameterization of CAN and LIN > Extended functionality with modules written in C > Automatic generation of download files > Download of firmware and applications via RS232 interface > Download of firmware via Bootbox in bootstrap mode > CANister information via RS232 > CANister terminal & low-speed) and CANister LinL (LIN & low-speed) with a variety of connectors for the fast usage as well as CANister AL (assembly line) with relay and for customized cord set. CANister Configurator is an easy-to-use development interface that enables you to freely configure CANister. The applications are loaded into CANister via the RS232 interface and are stored in the flash memory. Alternatively, Vector offers programming as a service as well. Functions CANister provides all the functions you need for a flexible CAN and LIN node, e.g.: > 2 CAN channels (11 bit and 29 bit identifier each) or > 1 LIN and 1 CAN channel > Customizable control and display elements (16 keys and 20 LEDs) > Control outputs (8 digital outputs, 2 PWM outputs or 1 relay) > Control inputs (8 digital inputs, 4 analog inputs and 2 hall inputs) 4/8 Included with Delivery CANister HL or LinL: > CANister, shipped as standard with piggyback PCA80C251 and TJA1054 or TLE6259 opto (LIN) and TJA1054 > Mains cable, approx. 1 m > D-SUB 44 connector with housing CANister AL: > CANister AL, shipped as standard with piggyback PCA80C251 and TJA1054 Configuration Software: > CANister Configurator > CANdb editor > User manual > Serial connection cable > Bootbox > USB license dongle More Information: www.vector.com/contact
