2 About the device

CANlink Bluetooth is designed to transfer CAN data wirelessly using the Bluetooth standard.The device can be used in two different ways: either as wireless CAN bridge or as CAN toBluetooth interface. In case of the CAN bridge two CANlink Bluetooth can be used to transferCAN data between each other in order to replace a wire. If CANlink Bluetooth is used as singleCAN to Bluetooth interface, its major application is to transfer CAN data to mobile Bluetoothdevices such as PCs or PDAs for CAN data monitoring and analysis.

CANlink Bluetooth is able to establish a connection to a Bluetooth device automatically. Thisdevice has to be selected once using the configuration software 'CANlink-BluetoothConfigurator'. If more control is necessary e.g. to change the Bluetooth destination while beingin full operation, CANopen commands can be used for connection management. If thisfunctionality is not needed, the CANopen stack of the device can be disabled in order toenhance the range of CAN IDs that can be transmitted by the device.

CANlink Bluetooth 21XX is additionally equipped with two analog inputs as well as two digitaloutputs.

CANlink Bluetooth is equipped with a 16-bit microcontroller with an integrated full-CAN-interfaceand a flash memory that can be programmed via Bluetooth interface.

It isnot permitted and leads to an exclusion of any liability and warranty claims.This device requires an explicit permission of the manufacturer in order to be exported into theUSA.The type label must not be contacted with any kind of solvent-containing substance.

OperationThe device must not be operated in machines and applications where life depends on the properoperation of this piece of equipment.

Air trafficThe Bluetooth radio modem must not be operated on board of aircrafts. Using it in an aircraftcan affect the navigation and communication systems. An offence can lead to legal actionagainst the offender.

ExplosivesIn general, radio equipment must not be used in the vicinity of petrol stations, fuel tanks,chemical plants or blasting.Do not transport or stock flammable gases, liquids or explosives in the part of the vehicle wherethe radio modem is installed.

Electronic equipmentOperation can affect the function of electronic equipment, which is not properly screened.Switch off the radio modem in the vicinity of medical equipment. In case of interference, pleasecontact the device manufacturer for information.



AerialOperation without aerial can destroy the radio modem.Use only antennas, which are suitable for the used transmission frequency. To ensure that theBluetooth qualification is not effected, the total gain of the external antenna, including insertionloss of the connectors and cables must be less than 2dBi. If a higher gain is employed, then thequalification status of the CANlink Bluetooth will be lost. It is the customer’s responsibility toensure that an external antenna does not negate the Bluetooth qualification.Keep the “hot” end of the antenna well away from metal components to prevent serious de -tuning. For suitable antennas, contact RM Michaelides at www.rmcan.com.

Bluetooth CertificationCANlink Bluetooth can be integrated into end products without further Bluetooth testing orBluetooth approval listing by the Bluetooth SIG.Because Bluetooth is an RF Technology, national notification is required. A list with countrieswhere this product is already notified can be found in chapter Technical Data on page 16. If thecountry where you want to sell your product is not listed, please contact RM support atmailto:[email protected]

CANThe signals on the CAN connection terminals CAN-Low and CAN-High must match the signalson the CAN-terminals of the connected devices. GND of the CAN-connector has to beconnected to CAN-GND.Neither the device nor the housing of the device should be grounded.For CAN baud rates, the following guidelines can be used to estimate the maximum length ofthe bus-line:

CAN Baud Rate Max. bus length

1Mbit/s 25m

800 kbit/s 50m

500 kbit/s 100m

250 kbit/s 250m

50kbit/s 1000m



5 Getting Started

The CANlink Bluetooth can be operated in two ways:

� As CAN to CAN bridge via Bluetooth� As PC CAN Interface

5.1 CAN to CAN bridge

In this mode, two CAN bus systems can be connected wirelessly. Therefore each CAN bussystem is connected to a CANlink Bluetooth. After the systems are powered up, one of thedevices tries to establish a connection to the remote CANlink Bluetooth automatically. After thisconnection is established data is transmitted between the CAN bus systems bi-drectionally.To realize this functionality you require the following devices:

� Two CANlink Bluetooth� A PC and� A PC to Bluetooth Interface.

If your PC is not already equipped with a Bluetooth Interface, please connect the Bluetoothdevice to your PC and install the necessary drivers and software.

For further information how to install the Bluetooth device, please follow theinstructions of the Bluetooth device manuals.



When this task is finished, install the 'CANlink Bluetooth Configurator' that is shipped with theCANlink Bluetooth. You can find this software in the following directory of the CANlink BluetoothCD:

\Software\BT_Configurator

For further information how to install the program, please follow the instructions ofthe software manual.

After that, supply one of the CANlink Bluetooth with power via the CAN connector. The pinassignment of the device can be found in the chapter The CAN and Power Supply Connectoron page 11. Wait until the CANlink Bluetooth 'ON' LED stops blinking.

If special software of the PC's Bluetooth interface needs to be started in order toestablish a Bluetooth connection, start it and wait until the program has finished thescan for Bluetooth devices in its neighborhood.

In this mode, the CANlink Bluetooth is used to transfer CAN data to a PC. The data exchangewill take place bi-directionally as soon as the PC software established a connection to theremote CANlink Bluetooth. In order to display the received data on the PC we use the 'RM CANDevice Monitor' software. It is also possible to write own programs for this device. Alternatively,you can also use a PDA with Bluetooth interface.



To use the CANlink Bluetooth as CAN to PC interface you require the following devices:

� A CANlink Bluetooth� A PC and� A PC to Bluetooth Interface.

If your PC is not already equipped with a Bluetooth Interface, please connect the Bluetoothdevice to your PC and install the necessary drivers and software.

6 The Connectors

6.1 The Antenna

The antenna should not be mounted in the close environment of fuel tanks,vessels with explosives and insufficiently shielded electronic devices. It isalso not allowed to mount it inside enclosed metal constructions such asdriver cabins because of the Faraday cage effect. Do not shorten or lengthenthe cable of the antenna!

To avoid damage to the Bluetooth circuits, do not operate the CANlinkBluetooth without antenna!

Use only antennas, which are suitable for the used transmission frequency.To ensure that the Bluetooth qualification is not effected, the total gain of theexternal antenna, including insertion loss of the connectors and cables mustbe less than 2dBi. If a higher gain is employed, then the qualification status ofthe CANlink Bluetooth will be lost. It is the customer’s responsibility toensure that an external antenna does not negate the Bluetooth qualification.Keep the “hot” end of the antenna well away from metal components toprevent serious de - tuning.
