CANblue II - CAN/Bluetooth Bridge and CAN-Bluetooth Module with ASCII/Binary Protocol and VCI support

CANblue II

Intelligent CAN Module with
Bluetooth Interface

WEEE and RoHS conform The CANblue II is a CAN module that is connected to the PC wirelessly via Bluetooth. It is ideal for servicing and accessing CAN systems that are otherwise difficult to access. Depending on the space limitations, the maximum distance between the CANblue II and the PC/notebook can be up to 300 m.

Bridge mode
The bridge mode allows the user to set-up a CAN-Bluetooth-CAN bridge by using two CANblue II devices. Message exchange occurs on layer 2 and is transparent. The device can also be used in systems with CANopen, DeviceNet or customer-specific protocols. CAN-ID filters can be set for data exchange via Bluetooth. Using more than 2 CANblue devices, multiple busses can be linked with each other.

ASCII/Binary protocol mode
In this mode, functions for transmitting and receiving CAN messages and for configuring the CANblue II are available to the user based on simple ASCII commands and optimized CAN binary messages. The CANblue II is ideal for "non-Windows" systems or embedded platforms.

PC operation mode with VCI driver support
Because it is supported by the VCI CAN driver, the CANblue II can be operated with all IXXAT tools and with customer-specified programs. In addition, wireless access to CAN systems via Bluetooth can also be easily achieved with existing VCI-based application programs and tools.

Product highlights
- Quick start-up and connection
