The i-7540D CAN-Ethernet Gateway

Quick Start User Guide

1.Introduction

This manual introduces the user to the methods used to implement the i-7540D module into their applications in a quick and easy way. This will only provide with the basic instructions. For more detailed information, please refer to the i-7540D user manual located on the ICPDAS CD-ROM or download it from the ICPDAS web site:

Fieldbus_CD:\CAN\Converter\i-7540D\ or http://www.icpdas.com/products/Remote_IO/can_bus/i-7540.htm

The goal of this manual is focused on helping users to quickly familiarize themselves with the i-7540D module and the CAN-Ethernet communication gateway. Here, we use two i-7540D modules (called the i-7540D_A and the i-7540D_B) as the example will demonstrate how to use the i-7540D modules. The architecture of this example is depicted below.

When the i-7540D receives a valid message, with the ASCII strings format from Ethernet port, it converts this message into a CAN message and transmits it into the CAN network. Based on the same reasoning, when a CAN message is received via the i-7540D, the CAN message will be transferred to a message by using the ASCII strings format through the Ethernet port.
